26Dec Lanparte DSLR Rigs, Follow Focus, Shoulder Pad
YouTube member TheJoeDigital shares a video review with a look at some of the new designs from the Lanparte DSLR rigs. The video above shows the Follow Focus with two hard stops, a new clever swing open cage design, and variable position handles with geared locks. They also make Matte Boxes and other accessories.
I picked up one of the shoulder pads a while back to replace the not-so-comfy Gini silicone pad on one of my rigs. As seen in the video above from Vimeo member brandpartners, the shoulder pad from Lanparte I picked up has a much more contoured soft pad and rails on top to mount other accessories or a V-Mount battery pinch solution (which they also make). The V-mount battery dock provides various voltage out to power different accessories, but also includes an HDMI splitter to send video to a second monitor. You can check out more of their gear following the link (here).

Mister Joe really should stop using really that often, it’s really bugging me. Otherwise it seems to be a really nice rig.

I’m seriously considering the Lanparte system for my rig however I am interested in doing an in-depth review as the brief overview is enough to “wet One’s whistle” I think such a system deserves a more closer look.

what about the version with no hard stops? http://www.lanparte.com/En/ProductView.asp?SID=48&ID=55
is the focus marker adjustable? it seems so but not sure. also, is it worth it to get the hard stop version? im using a canon 60d

@Austin M – You can see here the same FF with adjustable stops, but it doesn’t look like the indicator is adjustable. ::http://www.ebay.com/itm/Follow-Focus-w-Hard-Stops-15mm-rods-DigiFF2-Lanparte-USA-Dealer

What about focusing and choosing better f-stops on your lens mister Frank?

does the marking disk on the follow focus work better with a wax marker or a dry erase marker?
