Hey,
since Wayne´s and Hysonfilm´s FF still are unavailable, I was wondering what you guys are using with the SGpro...?
I read bad things about the M2 FF and that´s pretty much all the FFs in the low range I know of (well the ones using gears...)
Any input appreciated!
 
I currently have the indifocus but am waiting for Wayne's in the next few months so I can switch over.
 
I've often wondered if the RR FF has been improved since all the bad reviews, if it has been they really should put an official write up here at DVXuser on the changes. I've also been hanging out for a FF and have been hesitant to purchase the RR. There's money sitting in my pocket to be had RR...

Thing is, all the FF systems i've used have a little play/backlash in them, arri's, petroff, vocus...

This is why I have designed the SGfollow focus to have the amount of backlash adjustable to taste.
 
Hope you don't mind me quoting you Wayne.
" You will be able to unbolt and flip the gearbox the otherway, effectively reversing the direction of rotation.
Regarding hard stops, it will have the marker/pointer at the top of the marking disk for stops to hit against, but the actual clip on stops come later.
No play. However, I have designed it so that the user can adjust the gear lash easily to suit their taste. at one end of the scale, free spinning with about 5 degrees of backlash, other end of the scale, no backlash and dampened handle, or anything in between.
Aimed price is £250 inc 3 lens gears."

I love that it is reversible and i like the dampened handle also.

OK,
I´ll probably wait...
Anything on the Hyson? The 3D renderings always look so promising...
