I actually had a M2 for a few month and ended up selling it. I thought it was very heavy and a pain to set-up. The quality was good but the Brevis and the SGpro offer as good of a quality with a better designed setup. However both are a bit more expensive than the M2, the only downside...

 

Personally, as an M2 owner, I find the extra weight handy. I always have to add weight to any of the prosumer cameras I've used. I generally need a camera weight in the 10 to 15 lb. range to balance properly.

 

When getting the Brevis, I would also get the rod mount and the Brevis-to-rails mount. Just me, but I wouldn't trust the weight of a lens on the plastic threads of most cameras. This puts the price dead even with the M2 Indie Bundle.

 

Also, could someone tell me the movement method for the Brevis imaging element? From its size, I'm guessing oscillating.

P.S. I'm a bit biased. I started with a home built Micro35. I now use the M2 and I administer the Redrock forums. (For free, I just like these guys!)

 

Hi Brett,

 

Yes it is the oscillating kind.

 

I agree with you about getting the Brevis to rail mount, I would also suggest as a base plate the "Zacuto"'s first generation, it quite heavy and very solid. It also adjust on all axises and is all aluminium...

 

On another note, I'll like to say that I do like Redrock, I do think that the M2 is a good product and I do visit their forum from time to time, not to say that I am a bit curious about their $500 Wireless follow focus... But I do think that Brevis came up with a better design... It's a growing industry and I am sure that in the next few years we will see many improvments made...
