just saw this, looks like a pretty cool and promising idea, definitely useful for someone wanting a small run n gun type rig

what do you guys think? obviously it won't replace a nice rail mounted one with hard stops, but i could see it being popular with a certain crowd

Looks really sick, but reminds me of the swiss jar opener that they posted on cheesycam a while back. Goes on your lens exactly the same..just no dry erase board thing. I got one for like 5 bucks and it works the same as my friends 100 dollar follow focus

good point, I remember that one. I was just thinking also, that it would be cool to have a way of using this with hard stops, like if the board mount was more secure
