It seem sthat you guys are right, just had somes feedback from somes camera assitant here in Montreal that have tryed it and it sometimes loses the radio signal and there are quite a few bugs.

conclusion, might work well in the future but right now it's not production worthy.

Hopefully I'm not too off-base here, I'm not a focus puller, but from talking to focus pullers that I have worked with the cinetape is a nice spot check, and can be really helpful in some situations. Focus pullers that I work with still get measurements and marks as much as possible. From what I gather, it seems as though you can develop a sense for when the cinetape is "on target" and when you probably shouldn't trust it (should you ever "trust" it?).

 

Edit to add:

In my opinion, the cine tape is really light weight and compact, and offers a lot of advantage for such a small package. But then again, I'm a 2nd AC so take it with a grain of salt.....

You resumed it perfectly !

A cinetape is just a reference tool for focus puller. It's great help, espacially when you are handheld or steadycam but you still have to pull focus the same way as if you don't have one. If you only rely on it you will always be late on focus. Use it as a reference tool, nothing more or else you'll get burned.

Hi everyone,

this is my first post, I'm a 1st AC from Montreal, Canada. I was looking to buy a remote follow focus when I came across the redrock micro remote focus system. My link

It looks awsome as it has great features but I can't find any review on that product. First I tought this was only for dslr but it says that it's good for cinema lenses as well. It can drive a m-one or heden motor so that leads me to think that's a good system.

As anyone tried it or knows where I can find a good review on the product?

Thanks,

Jean K.
