anyone getting any closer to a working FF for cheap?

Luke Springer · May 18th, 2006, 09:43 PM

Personally I've never used this follow focus:

But it is only $299

Thanks,
Luke

thanks.. but i was trying to find out the status of the DIYers around here.. one thing i always wondered about the indi focus.. does it have a cine pitch gear option.. or only that foamy looking thing?

Tim, the creator of the indifocus, sent me a cine-pitch gear attachment free of charge that swaps out with the foamy thing. The trick, however, is finding gears to gear your lenses with...

Tim has those as well, and he is great with customr service. :)

He does?! I tried emailing him about that and he never responded. Maybe I'll shoot him another email...

OK. I am also looking into having my foam wheel on my Indi Focus swapped out for a gear wheel.

I sent Tim an email today asking that he send me a gear wheel and a wheel for my Canon 35mm FD lenses that I use at the end of the LETUSXL Flip.

Do you have a picture of your setup with the gear wheels he sent you?

Is that knob a gallon lid cap?

Michael, when I saw you posted I knew to expect a negative criticism. But when I looked at the pic again, this time I had to laugh.

Actually to me it more resembles an automotive oil filler cap...

Honestly, I didn't mean to put it down at all. As it seems to be a DIY, I was wondering if he used a lid cap or what he used.

Quyen Le · May 24th, 2006, 09:40 PM

I have touched that toy. It's not the oil filler cap even though they look alike. Thanks.

So what's it then? I'm sure it's not custom made.

Why do you call it a "toy"?

Quyen Le · May 25th, 2006, 02:29 PM

I don't think it's custom made either. I called it "toy" in no mean saying it's quality is not good. It's indeed quality built stuff. Isn't this toy to some of you? Thanks.
