Premium Members Eric Fletcher S.O.C. Posted September 19, 2010 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 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..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladimir Korshunov Posted September 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 (edited) 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 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTeFSorw_jI 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.

Vladimir Korshunov Posted September 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 I agree. This one has many limitations, but the price... The next step is radio-link and new motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Burton Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 What is the price point ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladimir Korshunov Posted September 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 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. Brian & Vladimir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Janice Arthur Posted September 22, 2010 Moderators Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Brian and Vladimir; I think you're on the right track. Obviously you're working on the noise and size of the motor. I think the DSLR and light camera systems as well as light camera jibs would love a dependable system for $700. Think of schools too. Lots of colleges have departments and gear but no way to manage Follow Focus. Beware, I'd say those are also the markets that are rough on gear so make it durable. Good luck.

Vladimir Korshunov Posted November 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 (edited) 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.

Vladimir Korshunov Posted April 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
