Redrock VS Shoot35

[Kindredmachine]

Anyone has experience with both of these brands? Redrock seems to be highly popular for low budget rigs but shoot35 actually seems to be built really well... for exmaple, here's the shoot35 Follow focus...

Any opinions would be really helpful, thanks!

I do and they both have nicely designed and well built stuff. What I like better about the RRM FF is it's a quick release type. You don't have to pull off all the other stuff (from the rods) to remove or attach the FF.

You can't go wrong with either companies gear. It just comes down to what you want to spend (I think Shoot35 is generally more affordable) and what you prefer from a design standpoint.

Does one have more slop in the gear over another or are they both pretty the same? One thing I did like about the shoot35 is that it uses universal lens gears that you set and trim without having to deal with pre-sized gears from RRM.

I have never use the Shoot35 FF, but I assume it has the same amount of play as the RRM FF because I never heard anyone complain about it.

I currently use a RRM FF with the Shoot35 lens gears, by the way.

That sounds like the perfect solution, TY.
