We’ve already shown off one of the cheaper wireless follow focus systems from JAG35. Now Redrock Micro has partially redesigned their microRemote Wireless Follow Focus system by developing their own motor and creating a new controller (in addition to the iPhone controller). They’ve also got a rig system called the ultraCage that is designed to be form-fitting to cameras like the Canon C300 or the Canon 5D Mark II and 5D Mark III. I had a chance to talk with Brian Valente and Loren Simons at the Redrock NAB booth, and you can see that video embedded below. More »

NAB Video: Hands-On with Redrock Micro's Futuristic microRemote Follow Focus

04.25.11 @ 11:18AM Tags : followfocus, gear, nab2011, redrock, redrockmicro

I’ve been keen on Redrock Micro’s microRemote powered follow focus system since it was first announced at least year’s NAB. Redrock makes all manner of DSLR accessories, but their suite of follow focus products could be a breakthrough both feature- and price-wise when they make it to the market later this summer. When I visited the Redrock booth the futuristic iPhone controller was on its way down, but it wasn’t the fancy remote I was interested in: it was the $95 wired finger control that I wanted to get my hands on. Here’s a look at the complete device in action from HDSLR Shooter: More »

Redrock microRemote Racks Focus, Blows Minds

07.13.10 @ 11:07AM Tags : cinematography, dslr, followfocus, redrock

For a long time I’ve been looking for a way to shoot handheld with BOTH hands on the camera support handles, to maintain a balanced handheld aesthetic similar to that of indie cinematographers like Andrij Parekh (Half Nelson, Sugar, Cold Souls). It looks like Redrock has this functionality in mind with their crazy new microRemote wireless follow focus, which is why I picked the thumbnail at left; however, the real star of the show (certainly from a wow standpoint) is their ingenious use of an iPhone as a control surface. This is a follow focus like you’ve never seen (unless, of course, you’ve seen it before): More »

From NAB: Redrock Micro microRemote

04.13.10 @ 6:00AM Tags : cinematography, dslr, nab, redrock

To date I haven’t purchased a follow focus for my DSLR rig because of A) lack of funds, and B) I was waiting to see what the future held. Well, here’s the future, courtesy Redrock Micro. FreshDV interviews Brian Valente about their wireless follow focus, which starts at $1,000 (several times less than most wireless systems, and cheaper even than many wired follow focusi). And yes, it integrates with an iPhone, although the responsiveness remains to be seen.
