FreshDV Reviews the Zacuto follow focus unit

Matt Jeppsen | 02/05

Testing the Z-Focus flippable unit from Zacuto

image

In the fall of 2007, FreshDV released an extensive review series of 5 popular follow focus units. We’ve continued to update this video review series in the following months. To date we’ve tested units from Chrosziel, Cinetech, Redrock Micro, Petroff, Indifocus, Shoot35/SGPro, and ARRI. Today we’re adding another review video for the Zacuto Z-Focus flippable follow focus unit.

The Z-Focus flippable is one of a family of follow focus units designed for HD camcorders and adapter rigs. 2nd from the bottom in price point, it offers a reversible configuration and many professional features.

Watch the Zacuto follow focus review in the video playlist here.

NAB 2012: New EVFs

Adam Wilt | 05/03

Two new viewfinders to compete with Zacuto and Cineroid, plus a bizarre prototype from Band Pro.
