1. Fotga DP2 Follow Focus with 2 Hard Stops. I also bought the Fotga Quick Release Slide Block Clamp for 15mm rail rods, which makes it 100 times faster & easier to remove the follow focus from your rig. I also have a Cinevate follow focus gear ring. I'm selling these 3 as a set for $199, with free shipping in US.

2. Seetec 5.6" Monitor with 1280x800 panel resolution. This is the same one from our Personal-view.com deals, and that's where I purchased it new from. I also have 2 Sony NP-F770 batteries. These batteries currently go for $79.99 each on B&H. I'm selling the monitor and batteries as a set for $349, with free shipping in US.

3. Rosco 730011 Polarizing Sheet 17" x 20". $35, with free shipping in the US.

Thanks, Matt

I ran into a problem. I marked the furthest and nearest focus points on the Fotga's white wheel. That way, I could focus based on the distance on the wheel marks. However, I tried racking the focus back and forth a bit, to get a feel for the thing... and the settings drifted. I'd rack the focus to the mark for the back of the stage... and it wasn't in focus. Same thing for the nearest point. I'd recalibrate, but the points would drift again.

Now, there's a bit of play with the Fotga follow-focus-- and I was using a small 12mm lever that added a little more play-- but I'm wondering if there's some issue with the lens or camera settings that may have contributed.

(One thing I did learn: as you rack focus during shooting, the GH2 displays a line on the screen, i.e., mountains versus flowers. I wound up making an estimate of focus based on the indicator on that point. Seems to me that I could apply cellophane tape to the screen, mark the points on that, and use the screen's focus indicator as my follow-focus marker.)

Selling for $70 including shipping in the US. International shipping will be calculated.

I'm willing to trade for a follow focus, a Manfrotto 682B monopod w/ legs, or maybe a lens...let me know what you have!

PM me if interested.

Thanks! Foster

Geared mostly for Canon and Nikon cameras. But with voltage converter can be used for Panasonic also. They are working on improved version.

For use with V mount batteries.
