Review on πŸ“Έ Fotasy 40cm (16 Inch) 15mm Rods for Rail Rod Support Systems – Perfect Fit for Mattebox, Follow Focus, and More! (2-Pack) by John Kennedy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Well made, good value, professional

I use this with my Sony PMW-F3, Zacuto baseboard and Chrosziel matte box. Everything fits well. Actions are smooth and precise. Easily snaps onto poles and tightens, and you don't need to remove the matte box to install and remove. There are also no problems with adjusting the inlet and outlet. The focus button is big and you can find it without having to search. You can also use this on the left or right side of the lens with a single screw adjustment. I've seen several comments about the lens that comes with the device. I find it works well with my Nikkor lenses and I see no need to buy anything else. I've reviewed many of these follow focus units at multiples of the price and was a little concerned about the quality. Now I'm not worried. Care and precision in production are consistently noticeable. The focus stops included make it easier to preset your movements. Many tracking-oriented devices don't even have them. Bottom line, I'm glad I didn't spend as much as some of the more expensive companies charge for devices that essentially do the same thing. It exceeded my expectations.
