[Aluminum] I had originally bought the standard komodo baseplate from Bright Tangerine but realized it only had one screw and would twist on the camera showing off alignment of my matte box etc. This DJI version has tabs that fit into the base of the komodo and prevent twisting. It does cost more but is so much better.

[Aluminum] Bright Tangerine was a stretch for me as well - I do not own a Follow Focus kit, yet. This is a review of Rob Eagle in particular.


Rob works for Bright Tangerine. My dealings with Rob were shipping related issues and not Bright Tangerine issues, nor product related issues. Rob was absolutely fantastic to deal with despite the fact that Bright Tangerine was not the cause of my shipping problems.


The Bright Tangerine product, I purchased a C200 cage, is pure quality from one end to the other. Not the least expensive but perhaps the best in the marketplace. It is so wonderful to come across a true quality product as it seems to rarely happen. It is so common to end up with sub-par product and after reading the Revolvr product comments I felt the need to speak up and add my experience.


To sum up... don't have enough coin for this product? Save up a bit longer and then do the buy. The Bright Tangerine product line is nothing but pure pleasure!! And, with people like Rob standing at the ready to provide above and beyond service, you will thank yourself every time you use something from their product line.


Oh yea... buy from B&H. I am not an employee but I have dealt with B&H for a bit over 3 decades now.

[Aluminum] This is THE solution for add rods to your komodo and being able to go from tripod to handheld in literally 2 seconds.
The latch design is perfect and clamps down tightly to your dovetail plate. The placement of the tightening knobs for the rods is nice.

I was initially going to go with the 8Sinn baseplate but after careful review I noticed that the knobs for tightening the rods interfere with the other knobs. In my opinion, I saw this as a possible hinderance to the ease of use I was looking for as I'm regularly in fast paced situations where struggling with any piece of gear is unacceptable.


If you can afford it, you won't regret it.
Its a deceptively simple tool but a must if you care about your gear working flawlessly and not worrying about fiddling around with the quirkiness that can come from some of the cheaper solutions.

[Aluminum] This made all the difference for my FX6. Now I can attach the loupe from the fx9 on it and yet i can fold the monitor so I can pack the camera for travel

[Aluminum] Surprised by how light weight it is. Really good build quality and clever tray design. The thumb screws to extend the unit for additional filters gets loose sometimes so just have to tighten it every now and then.

[Aluminum] The FX6 stock monitor arm is garbage. This BT arm is superb. You can mount the FX6 monitor in absolutely any position with the extra reach, and it's rock solid. Zero regrets about this purchase.

[Aluminum] Is it expensive? Yes. It is flawless and perfect? Yes.

I just love everything about it. My only maybe SLIGHT complaint, is I wish it had some Rosette mounts in this kit, but I easily added the BT side plate to finish it out!

[Aluminum] Bought this to compliment my Leica R 35mm summicron in my Red Scarlet-W. This thing couldn’t be built or designed any better. The rubber “black hole” is a perfect choice if you’re going to be using vintage lenses. Make sure you have some sort of step up ring if your lens has a diameter smaller than 60mm or light will leak. I probably wouldn’t use it with lenses with a diameter larger than 82mm since it’s made of a thin rubber material and it might rip or stretch out too much. Looks miles better than baggy cloth though... The reason I went with the misfit is because I know that if I change lenses or if a client wants to work with other lenses, I can easily buy the other configurations to accommodate whatever I end up using. I know this is more expensive than most matte boxes but it’s worth it since this is the only matte box you will ever need.

[Aluminum] Thought we could use without, but Trust You'll need it. Unless you're ready for awkward DIY rigging of your Fx6 or Fx9

[Aluminum] Okay, I might be biased here since I am a fanboy of Bright Tangerine products. We have been waiting on this since 2014, and they finally started shipping. And amazingly this is the best manual follow focus my hands ever touched. The focus wheel is so smooth to the touch, so creamy smooth as a butter melting on your lips. I mean it literally. It is so easy to configure. Packed with so many features. This is a one-sided follow focus. You have the swing arm that comes in two different ratios, this one the cine kit comes with the 1:1.842 ratio for cine lenses. I purchased separately the 1:1 ratio swing arm with this kit as I intend to use it on still lenses as well. The swing arm can go to either side of the bridge.. the kit comes with two different gears that can go on both sides of the swing arm. I picked this over the bigger studio version because of its compact size and lightweight. Two other accessories you might consider to add to your list, the Flexible Handwheel, and the Speed Crank. Two great products that are perfectly machined. Now to the downside, though this partly my mistake but the main selling point for me was that the soft/hard stops on the handwheel. It is a feature they talked about a lot since 2014. It was the biggest selling point for me. The downside is the kit doesn't come with the soft/hard stops. You have to purchase them separately. In my utter confusion, I have no clue why they decided not to include this with the kit. You are buying the kit, and this is a must in every kit. So if you are buying this, just know that you want to add the Soft/Hard Stop to your kit.
