If I remember, the price is 1200€ exactly, it's composed of the international shipping price and the extra costs of the website Indiegogo + the 850€ of the kit.

Hey,

I'm also looking for an innovative, reliable and cheap accessories for the shot of my DSLR, and I'll be delighted to find a follow focus that brings these features and I think I found it thanks to the link you provided Victor Mac. The kit that the company Visuel Mouvement offers is very interesting and cheap.

Thank you.

yes that's right, but if they didn't proceed like that their Indiegogo campaign would never work and they should sell their follow focus more expensive

It felt like some delay in knob to lens turning.

Maybe it is just me but delay is bad.

This is a joke ?

The wondlan model is very noisy, huge and cumbersome.

it really depends your needs and budget i'd say.

some need low price and others need hi precision.

mostly they do not come in the same pack.
