Hi Richard, Just to make you aware, the HoFo can be used with with multiple synced up, either by using two receiver units tuned in to one channel (not particularly pretty, but works fine) or via a splitter cable. The advantage of the motors we use is you can just split the cable off in to two and it will control two motors in sync. This is fine for 3D work, but will obviously not do FIZ, as its designed as a single channel unit. Send me an email if you would like to talk more about the Hocus Focus, I can answer any questions over email if you would prefer. Pete@hocusproducts.com Decided to buy the Hocus Focus. Incidentally I bought a remote head from CineCity in India, Works great with DSLR cameras, but I cut it in half and added four inches to the frame, Now it can carry a Red or an Alxexa with room to spare. The HoFoPro is progressing nicely, we will just miss Cinegear by a few days with a working unit. Frustrating, but no point turning up with a mockup! Thanks, Pete.

Then if I were you I'd wait and save. Anything less will probably piss you off. On a side note... Although it may seem perfect for your needs, I'd stay away from Viewfactor's HDSLR controller. It's sort of wireless, but it is essentially hacking your camera, at the very least eliminating any and all warranties. I don't care what anybody says, that can't end well... It's essentially using internal motors and gears in a way they were never meant to be used. Thanks for that update, not aware of ViewFactor. However I'm filming from June 16th and must have something by then, I'm bending towards the HocusFocus. It seems to do everything I want it to plus it has a reliable record.

] I got a quote from Bartech its way to expensive for me, nearly $5000. Nice unit but out of my price range

I've just returned from London and dropped into Elstree Studios to check out a dealer there, I'd like to know peoples opinion on this http://www.rtmotion.com/product/mk2-1motor-withcase the only downside with the HoFo is it isn't expandable for multiple motors where the RT Pro Mk2 is. This could be useful further down the line.

already looking at that unit in the UK, Looks OK do you have any experience with it?

Thanks for that, I'm starting to think a cable system might be the answer, can you recommend one? I'll look into the Bartech system, can you tell me where I should be looking.

I'm new to this but hope your educate me. I've built a jib for my DSLR camera you can see it at www.henrijib.com. Since its conception it has changed a bit. However I need a wireless follow focus at an affordable price. Most of the units I've looked at are high end and just to expensive. Can anyone suggest an inexpensive basic unit, any information about building one or know where I can get one second hand. I had a go at building one from RC components and it works OK but I'd like one that is more reliable.
