Guys,

As you know I'm still busy to search for a new Rig. Maybe in the next couple of weeks this will come true. However, I also wanted to obtain a complete package with for example Remote Follow Focus.

What do you exactly need to have a complete Follow Focus system ?

- Bartech remote controle ?
- Heden motor ?
- rods ?
- ..... ?
- ..... ?

Can you pls fill in the rest ?

Thanks, Erik

From what I know the M-one motor works very well with the bartech and it's cheaper than the heden motors.

regards other bits leads of course for the motor, power and possible remote start to start the camera rolling.

Also MK-V are releasing a focus motor system soon not 100% sure when it's due. It should be in the same price bracket as the bartech again pop an email to Howard for a better idea. If it is as good as the prototype and keeps all it's functions it will be far better than the bartech!

Just like to add I don't work for MK-V nor do I even own any of there gear (yet) they just make good stuff, that's easier to get support for if your in europe not stateside. Plus they ain't gonna vanish or stop supporting you after you splash your cash and then need something fixing down the line....! Unitecine or CIT anybody!
