Hi all!
I'm a newbie on this forum and have a question that's a bit specific: I'm running a Movi Pro and Movi Controller and am wondering if I should sink more money into the Movi follow focus system or go with another external brand? My use case is often T/ and F/1.4 lenses. I'm a little bit of a stupid bokeh nut.
I'm looking currently at:
Third party follow focus motors specifically for the Freefly Movi FIZ system. I have sunk $2100 into Redrock Micro Torque Motors that just simply don't work after trying for several months. Very disappointed in these as the marketing online from both companies claimed compatibility. Are there reliable recommendations from the likes of Heden and Chrosziel that anyone has experience with the Movi Pro? I don't like that the Chrosziel's have built in cables, but if they work great, they're quite affordable except for the annoying 8-10 week lead time. Is that typical with these type of motors?
Dedicated follow focus systems from Heden, Chrosziel, Arri, Cforce? I saw the Tilta Nucleus M and it's all that Youtuber's rage about, but I think the price is too good to be true and am worried about reliability. Does anyone have experience with any of these units? Is the Nucleus M like a 80% success rate or just unusable like my Redrock Micro Torque Motors?
Does anyone have any feedback and preferences? I understand that you get what you pay for, but I just want to know that $27K for the Arri C-Force RF mini set up is worth it or not. Is it diminishing returns or absolutely a big difference? I'd rather not buy cheaper brands and "lose money" continually upgrading. I'm looking to purchase for the corporation that I currently work at down the line, or perhaps earlier as an owner-operator, although the expense does give me a little bit of nervous sweat.
Thank you so much for your time!
