Here it is, my new HPX300 config. The kit lens just wasn’t up to par for me, On full zoom the lens would collapse and with open aperture all kinds of artifacts came in to play. All in all this is stuff I should be able to live with since it’s a kit lens with a 1,500 US street price. So here is the stuff i could not live with; a 0.9 meter MOD and a 5mm field of view (1/3″ chip). This makes shooting in a car next to impossible.
This week I have treated myself to an upgrade to our follow focus. We currently have the Redrock unit and are very happy with it. One of the nice things about Redrock is that they always release upgrades to the current line up when releasing new products. Here is my mini review.
When they released a new follow focus I ordered the update, and the new reverse gear making normal operation possible with Nikon lenses. The upgrade is very easy and a manual is included. The new unit feels much lighter, you can easily mount the unit without removing anything from your rods due to the quick release system. Also the thicker marking ring is a nice addition.
