Here are the pics of the HV20 and XH-A1 mounted up with the Brevis35 REV2-MC and the production retail version of our flip module. The unit can be used with or without the flip :-) Footage to follow this weekend. The Brevis35 packaged for use with the flip module will be under $1300...standard pricing. The REV-MC adapter module supports six SLR mounts, and PL +OCT19 cinema lenses. Micro-collimating lens mount system and interchangeable imaging elments are still standard. If you're looking to purchase and use the adapter in both modes, flipped or non-flipped, add $200. Our quick release system will be finished shortly and available as an option. Note that the pics are shown with our standard 15mm carbon rails systems...no modifications.

The flip module will be usable on any third party adapter that can support 72mm threads.

Volume production is in progress, and 10 units will be making their way into selected customers hands in 2 weeks or so. The unit works perfectly with all Brevis35 adapters, past, present or future.

oh thats beautiful. So small. if it doesnt affect image quality other than light loss, im Friggin on that.
 
For other adapters, the unit will run ~$450 which will include our purpose designed spherical aberration compensating achromat :-) Image quality through the bare flip module (no adapter) is not distinguishable from the bare cam footage...so we're pretty happy :-)
 
That's pretty wild seeing that fully kitted out rig on that little HV20:)

Looks real nice, Dennis. 1300 for a Brevis Flip? That's a real nice price point. 1500 for a Brevis Flip/Non-Flip is also very nice.

Thanks,
Jason
 
I'll be heading out with a few of our talented local cinematographers this weekend with the HV20 "flip" rig and a non-flipped HVX. Should be fun, and provide some interesting comparative footage.
 
Congrats on getting the product out. Brevis owners and others who haven't purchased the new LetusEX should be pleased.

So, there is no lightloss with the flip? Extra light loss I mean?

Edit here: Also, how long does this take to setup now that there's the extra portion? I've always read that Brevis owners were snap-on-and-shoot, which was one of it's unique selling points. Does this still hold true? I'm assuming the alignment can't get any better than it already was, or is that not true?

It also looks like the letus, unless my eyes are half-gone; kinda neat.

Wow that makes the camera sit up pretty high on the rails.....don't know if my HVX/Zacuto Rails/Brevis will fit that....
 
Dennis,

Retail version flip unit looks great, congrats! Can't wait to see some footage...

Does the extra wide 'Cinevated' french flag come with Cinevate Mattebox or is that a special order? And, any new estimates on the ship date for the Follow Focus unit?

Cheers,

LV

Mc, not to worry. The flip unit can be rotated 180 degrees so the camera is lowered below the optical axis, not above as you see pictured. I had both units raised quite a bit to mate with the mattebox.

Leo, the box comes with two top flags..the one pictured as well as a smaller one.

Lenny, we'll have a discount for existing Brevis users so that the package price would be extended to anybody who purchases (or previously purchased) the adapter before the flip module is ready to ship :-)

Lucky dog :) Good person to put one through its paces though.

So, when do you expect this will be in the catalog for the masses, Dennis?

Later

The flip units themselves, about 4 weeks (we have the 10 units done already). The compensated optics to go with them will take a few more weeks, but there's an intermediate solution in case folks are desperate to use one :-)
