Great rail system for lots of gear

I really needed this to attach my gear and it suits my needs perfectly. I install a video camera, 160 LED light source, boom microphone, 7 inch field monitor and phone on this rig. 1. - looks good and professional. 2nd - strong but light. 3rd - easy to adjust for a perfect fit I set up all my gear and then quickly move it between the tripod and the handheld gimbal U. This is important to me because I work in a digital media group and we do a lot of sporting events , local events like concerts…

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Very expensive

Know what you order.

Excellent threads from others! These are the standard 15mm rods used for DSLR cameras HOWEVER the thread size for the end caps is NOT standard. Generally, you have a choice of a 12mm thread or a 1/2" x 13 thread. These two sizes are the most common. This product has a 10mm x 1.0 thread. The problem is that If you own the SmallRig brand, they are not compatible if end caps or tie rods are used together. They otherwise fit standard 15mm risers and mounting configurations. For my purposes they…

Tough, reliable and economical

This is a great economical 15mm rail system. A very portable teleprompter and this rail system is just what you need to make it compatible with any camera and tripod. well made of aluminum (including handles and levers) for a solid and reliable construction - I've never broken anything on the unit. Do not buy cheaper plastic devices. There's nothing worse than being in the middle of a shoot with talent (or shooting a corporate video with an executive) and your gear breaks. It's just not worth…

The culmination of lots or research

Before deciding on this unit I researched the offerings from Revain, Adorama and B&H. It seemed like the best choice considering functionality and cost. My research was very happily confirmed when I opened the package. The build quality is great! This device uses an adjustable rubber ring with gears around the lens and while it may seem a bit bulky compared to the fixed plastic ring, I don't mind at all. The ride is smooth with no play. An added bonus is that this device has adjustable stop…

M12 thread ends and good quality, reasonable purchase.

The goods arrived on time, nothing was damaged during delivery. I noticed that the Revain description said end caps would come with the product. I didn't get them but instead they gave me a coupler to connect two poles together. Which I don't need either. I've noticed in many reviews that there seems to be a difference in the size of the threaded inserts. They may have been a different size before, but now they made the right choice because I have an M12. I checked with my thread gauge, tap and

Pros

  • Not everything fits

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

Great product with some small changes to make

This item is great. BENEFITS: Features 2 stops so you can easily and accurately manually set 2-point focus. Well made aluminum and plastic material/construction. Adjustments work well and slide in and out of the rails very easily. Lots of adjustments for a good match with different lenses, side switch; Install the gear on the front or back of the base. CONS: Fine tuning isn't the best for cocking within the focus puller itself. Hard stops are very stiff due to aluminium/metal to metal. I would…

Very impressed with the quality. Amazing value!

I bought this with the EZFoto rail system and am very satisfied. Very good device for the price but not 100% perfect. That's what I like. The device is solid. Everything looks and feels high quality. The quick release clamp can be quickly and securely attached to the rails. It is very easy to put on and easy to adjust. The focus wheel works very smoothly and feels high-quality again. The strap that goes around the lens is pretty good. I've used it with the Canon 7D and 5Dmk3, as well as the…

Great tracking focus at a great price

I originally planned to get the Kamerar Tracking Focus (FF-3) which is responsive and around $150. However, I ultimately decided to switch to Fotasy for several reasons. The Fotasy has a quick release mount, meaning it can be put on or taken off without moving anything from the rails. It also uses a dual rod mount (as opposed to the camera's single mount), which can be seen as a plus or minus - it makes the device a bit heavier, but it also feels extremely secure and there's no risk of falling.

Pros
  • Only positive
Cons
  • Will work
