I was at GPI today and wanted to checkout there new Bracket System for the Preston (see website:)
http://www.pro-gpi.com/dovmount.htm
It attaches the MDR (motordriver) via a Dovetail system to the FF Bracket of the rig. It facilitates the removal of the MDR while held in place by two thumb screws. Very nifty... for handheld, crane, etc.
Unfortunately it will only work on the specifically made for the Donkey Box 3 FF Mounting Bracket.
(Jim... relax, they have a little Dovetail adapter that will screw on to all FollowFocus adapters that have the PRO hole paddern, like the BFD, the original Preston Bracket, etc.)
That means if you want to use the new dovetail system on your old D-Box 2 or the like, you will not be able to... at least for now.
If you want to use your old Follow Focus on your new D-Box 3 , you just need a little adapter...
So... How the hell am I going to mount that thing to my rig..........
