Nikon Friendly Follow Focus

[robster180]

Hi
Just wondered if anyone on here has much experience with a reversed gear FF for Nikon SLR lenses.
Any recommended brands, models? Do they have a bit of give due to the extra gear?

Any advice would be gratefully received

Thanks
Rob

Incase anyone was wondering, someone on another forum pointed me in the direction of this...

However it's been out of stock for the past 3-4 months

I used to use the RRM FF with the reversing gear and it was always a noisy pain the arse.

I also reworked the Proaim FF with reversing gear and that was actually really nice but took a little time and expertise to configure.

There are other FF units that have flippable drive gears.

The new redrock can switch the drive box.

Take a look at the Cinevate Durus Really solid unit that reverses.

Thanks guys, where it's been confusing has been when manufacturers claim that their FF has a reverse gear whereas in fact what they have meant is that you can flip the side of the FF for smaller lenses for example the RedRock Micro Blue.

It looks as though I may have to head towards the higher end market such as Cinevate, Chrosziel and Arri
