    Man, I'm so glad I came across this video. I'm on my second SmallRig Mini Follow Focus from 2 different stores and no one knew how to swap the gear to the other side. I did get it set up correctly but I came across what you said about the single rod set up, it slips like crazy. I was going to send it back but for the heck of it I tried that belt/tread wrapped around my focus ring and it works amazingly! Thanks for this video!

    I have it and love it. But there is 2 problems.
    1. Mine is making little noises when I’m focusing.
    2. The stops are not working well for me.
    But it still a really good choices, and I recommend it!l

    Hey, does the turn direction really reverse when putting the gear on the other side??? I need this feature because i have lenses that turn focus differently and i cant seem to find info about this for the f40 except by turning the while thing upside down.

    Hi Justin, do the Focus Speed Crank (and the follow focus) have a Safty-lock that prevents the speed crank from falling ?

    • @JustinPhillip
      @JustinPhillip  3 роки тому +1

      depends on the crank you purchase. the one i have is from Fotga, it has a little quick release knob where it inserts into the focus wheel

    • @Fedorevsky
      @Fedorevsky 3 роки тому +1

      Very similar. The Tilta is smoother so better for long focus throw lenses like cinema lenses while the Smallrig is a bit stiffer so better for video lenses with a shorter throw. Other than that they're very similar indeed. Only the Smallrig comes with the optional to use rail attachment.

    Can you explain what happened to the Nucleus motor? How did it fail?

    • @JustinPhillip
      @JustinPhillip  3 роки тому +2

      sometimes all you need is Low Torque, is all i meant. Also, there a lot of issues with the p-tap cable that Tilta includes pulls too much power, so i think hopefully this has been fixed in FW update. So im on a job now dealing with these issues, had to special order a 7pin to 7pin Lemo to update FW on actual motor. So we will see. No shops here in LA had it in stock

  • @aurafilms773
    @aurafilms773 3 роки тому

    Actors miss their marks. I never ever use hard stops. They are usually completely useless. So the important thing for me is that the gear needs to stay in place. How problematic do you feel the mono 15mm rod clamp situation is ?
