Rails and follow focus recommendations please

[Rod Pike]

Hi all,
I would like some recommendations please on a budget follow focus setup with rails and baseplate for F100 and Rokinon T series lenses.

I am New Zealand, so while I can order from B&H I cannot "pop in!"

Cheers
Rod

I have the Tilta offset shoulder rig. It comes with their follow focus.

A very good and inexpensive Matte Box, Follow Focus, and plate with rods is the Sachtler ACE package:
http://www.evsonline.com/sachtler-ace-follow-focus-matte-box-and-baseplate-with-15mm-rods.html
It has 2 - 4x5.650 trays (1 rotates), adjustable (height) plate with rods, and a follow focus with adjustable hard stops......

Cheers!

Thanks shooter, I deal with RM quite a lot so I will investigate there first. The bundle looks good. Cheers!
