Premium Members Peter Hoare Posted April 25, 2010 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) Brian told me that the iPhone does no transmitting, and should be placed into flight mode to prevent your remote focus ringing in the middle of a take, so I think the actual hand set does the radio work and the iphone is simply a peripheral device that helps out. ...

Premium Members Daniel Stilling DFF Posted April 25, 2010 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 IMHO I think that using the iPhone/Touch platform as a display is a very smart and low cost solution, since all the R&D on that hardware part is done. The RedRock implementation might not be the most ergonomic shape, but the idea is fantastic, and I cant wait to see what other applications the Apple products can be integrated with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Peter Hoare Posted April 25, 2010 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 I agree, it is something I considered for the Hocus Focus over a year ago, but have not done anything with just yet. May still do something, but I don't want to look like im ripping off Redrock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Lee Kazista Posted May 28, 2010 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 alrighty, this is getting somewhat confusing... Here's what I was referring to. The iDevice attaches to the control unit, and after talking to the guy, I was under the impression that the iPhone/Pod could act as an interface to control the iris, as in a slider much like other designs out there. In other words, the unit could control both focus and iris at the same time. Not the iPhone acting as a radio/wifi unit, I'm simply talking about the control interface. On the camera/motor end, I did assume there would be multiple receivers linked wirelessly to the hand unit itself. As it seemed like a cool idea, I specifically asked him how the iris was controlled, and referenced the other iPhone controllers being built out there. As far as price, I was also under the impression that the $3-4000 was for the wireless control unit, cinetape thingy and motor receiver, not the motors This was also my understanding from the booth.

Luc Larson Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 This video was added in August. It looks like they at least got it working and they have a lot more specs listed online, but still no pricing or release date. I'm anxious play with one.
