    Hello all, wondering what everyone might be using for follow focus while doing one man band Movi operating? Have a bartech setup but the large controller is not going to work.

    Is anyone using something that can mount on cross bar or Movi ring?

    Use various cameras.
    Thanks

    I highly recommend the Axis1 with the new Smart Roller. Pre orders are open now, and it's shipping this summer, I believe.

    I used the roller extensively at NAB and it's a very awesome piece of kit.

    Thanks Austin. Looks good, hoping it would work with a heden motor too? Already have one. Or with the new Wedge. Looking to pick that up when it comes out.

    I would also suggest the Axis 1 Roller. I had a play with it at NAB, and it felt good.

    If you want a one man band, it's probably your best option.

    Yes, it will work with a Heden motor. (assuming it's modern?).

    The RT motion FF is excellent in my view. You can use a thumb wheel to attach to the movi ring or the cross bar which is very ergonomic. Has has worked flawlessly and has even survived a crash!

    My AC is a big fan of the RT Motion.

    I came close to buying one, but they use their own proprietary motors and cables for the motors. So, it could be difficult to get a spare in a hurry if needed. (Unless you ordered one of theirs).

    They must be doing very well. They are back ordered, and I only ever hear good things about them.

    With the Axis 1, I like their motors, and that I can use a Heden Motor if I had to.
