  1. I own and operate the Axis 1 follow focus from Hocus Products. It's a single channel at the moment, but Peter the owner of Hocus Products is adding a 2nd channel to the unit soon. The response time is incredible, it runs off of one canon LP-E6 battery for an entire day on set, fast as hell and feels great in the hands. He's coming out of with some new motors soon as well that others in the FF industry told him was impossible spec wise and he managed to fulfill. Keep your eyes peeled. For the money it's really hard to beat.

    This is one of the cons of the Axis 1...you can't add another channel if you want and its not compatible with other brand motors like heden or arri...

  2. What's your budget if you don't mind me asking?

     

    If it is under €5000 I would suggest a digital Bartech, reliable, precise, no play on the motors and super light.

     

    Other than that, either a Preston or a Scorpio as a second option.

     

    Have a good day!

    don't have the budget for a preston.my budget is around €7000-€8000.i have read some interesting things for all 3 of the systems but i'm trying to discover more.the axis1 though has the most positives until now.i have worked with the bartech for 3 feature films and i didn't like it so much.

  3. Hey guys. Im a 1st AC based in Cyprus. The last 2 months i'm on the search for the most suitable wireless follow focus kit and I'm trying to find the best for my needs. I don't have the chance here to rent one and try it so i'm looking for online reviews of the following 3 kits:

     

    1. Hocus Axis 1

    2. RT Motion MK3.1

    3. Chrosziel Magnum

     

    Anybody that can help me in any way? Pros/Cons? Lag? Anybody that owns any the systems to give me some more details?

     

    Experiences while working with any of the above systems?

     

    Any comment is very welcome.

     

    Thanks guys.

     

     

  4. Hey, everyone. On a couple days off I updated and slightly cleaned up the frontbox plans I made available a while ago.

     

    It's available a couple of different ways:

     

    -a PDF with three views (view it 100% in adobe acrobat to get rulers) in one document

     

    -adobe illustrator files for the top view, front view, and side view.

     

     

    It should be pretty evident how everything fits together, but feel free to ask if something isn't clear. I'm not much of a technical draftsman.

     

     

    PS- I downloaded the files to check and ".ps" was appended on the end of every file and I don't know why. Make sure to remove it. The first file should end in ".pdf" and the illustrator files should end in ".ai"

     

    pdf not available...can you please update the link?

     

    thanks
