tim rook Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 also any sugestions on remote focus unit, preston or arri? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camillo Foramitti Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 My favourite remote focus unit is the cmotion. It has a modular design so you only have to carry around what you really need. Check it out at http://www.cmotion.at/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Joyce Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 also any sugestions on remote focus unit, preston or arri? I don't know about the others but the Arri does cost a fair bit. I ordered a remote system from them last week and it came to about ?27 000. That was with 3 motors for remote focus, iris and zoom. The motors alone were ?2641 each. It's a good system, but I've never seem or tried any of the others, so I can't really offer a comparison. I'm not sure if you've used one, but it's also modular in the sense that each separate controller just clips on to the other depending on what you need. The new version also supports video cameras and it's possible to get lens data on a video camera with pro35 and master primes if you have the right parts for the system. You can also start/stop the cam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim rook Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 thank you for your sugestions. i checked out the cmotion site and its quit an impressive system. i'm a grip so i wont be using the focus system but this one seems to do everything. as far as heads go i found another one that may work has anyone ever used the cam-remote head?
