This is obviously aimed at the DSLR cameras with the limited motor rotation, but I gotta say those motors are HUGE... And 6AA's for power? OK.....

They are wider.

As promised, I keep posting news about BVFF:

1. We have some devices ready for sale, 700$ + shipping.

2. Radio controlled system is to be ready by December.

3. New low-noise motor is under R&D (we desperately trying to come up with prototype ready to February).

4. BVFF presentation in St. Petersburg went very productive: good critics, new ideas, few compliments. (Someone shoot one dialogue with his mobile phone).

Here is our fresh official site.

With the best regards -

From now on You can pre-order it here.

The October price is 700 $.

Hi Janice. We do follow this logic and your support gives us more energy!

Hi Matt!

We are about to approach 700 $ for wired system and 950 $ for radio-controlled one.

There can be some corrections, but very small.

I agree. This one has many limitations, but the price...

The next step is radio-link and new motor.

That is right, Eric. The motor is large and limited in rotation. We aware that the motor is far to be quiet as all its brothers from servos family :

Say more: the system is wired.

The positive things are:

high precision,

it can run cine lenses

and, probably, the lowest price.

The target group is indie and low budget filmmakers, TV Ops, who making music video, football competitions broadcasting, commercials etc.

Our goal and fun is to hit unusual goal. Up to now we tried to produce reliable device for crazy low price. The next step is to build radio-link for this system.

The cheapest concept is almost done and ready to meet first buyers as we are ready to meet first " tomatoes". :D

We intend to come up with some unusual and higher priced products for Pros.
