Nice review. I've been looking at the F60 Follow Focus and your review might just tip me into getting one. Thanks for the video

[@EvanSchneider]

Glad it was helpful!

[@REVIEWSONTHERUN]

Cool!✌️

[@BillNessworthyPhotography]

Great rig! Attaching a mattebox to the rails which also clamps onto the lens would stop the play in longer lenses. We shoot with an FX9 and the Fujinon 18-55mm, which will nod with a follow focus without the mattebox locking it down.

[@blasepivovar]

what a beaut!

[@EvanSchneider]

It's a fun one!

How did you get that Tilta Baseplate Type VI to work with your Tilta XH-2s cage? They aren't supposed to be compatible.

[@fauland_photography]

I am using the 99 Wh battery on my x-h2s for a couple of months now, with no problems whatsoever. I connect the camera with a w235 dummy to 8V cable and the Atomos to DTap....

[@EvanSchneider]

Using a dummy battery too, it's been working well!

[@thomasbrossier4336]

hi whats your dummy battery ref ?

[@ryuwings_6518]

Thank's for the combo review my gear use the zhiyun weebill 3s and combo the auto focus and bestview monitor that was so heavi then I use outside😂 and U give me the best chioce to buy❤

[@dwightlarks2525]

Hi, is there a way to record open gate 6.2k RAW internally in this camera and if not what external recorder do you recommend? I am really interested in possibly purchasing this camera thanks to your videos and I will definitely purchase through your links.

[@EvanSchneider]

You can record 6.2K ProResHQ in F-Log2 internally, which is what I would recommend. I personally don’t think external recorders with this cam are worth the extra cost and hassle.

[@Cine-Please]

I saw another review that said that the wooden wheel seamed it would be slippery if used in a very dry environment unlike rubber wheels if the lens focus would be on the heavier side. What is your take on this?

[@EvanSchneider]

I don’t see how it could ever be slippery. The texture on it is pretty easy to hold and rotate with precision.

[@ETFootprints]

It's slippery when it's too dry. Perhaps I'll varnish the wood in the future.

[@juriesenekal]

Hey, great looking rig, just bought the SmallRig VB99 Pro, my first V mount for my Fujifilm XH2s. Only thing is the battery is now covering eye sensor on the camera and hence the tally lamp on camera body does not come on. Any work around for this?

[@EvanSchneider]

Awesome! There are settings for the tally light on the X-H2s. Or there’s a button next to the eye sensor on the right to toggle modes.

[@TwoTimesRmedia]

How do you like using the X-H2s as a cinema rig/ professional rig ?

[@EvanSchneider]

I love it

[@TwoTimesRmedia]

@@EvanSchneider awesome to hear and see

[@emrahoprukcu221]

What is you monitor? which you are using SmallHD model ?

[@EvanSchneider]

SmallHD 702 Bright, now discontinued

[@ClefordBiongan]

can we use it for any dslr camera

[@EvanSchneider]

You’ll need a cage for whatever camera you have. Once you have that, you can attach this system pretty easily.

[@dhyanverco]

I just want to know about that right angle hdmi

[@EvanSchneider]

Easy, Amazon! It’s just an adapter, not part of the full cable.

[@dhyanverco]

@@EvanSchneider yeah. I just ordered one. Hopefully it's deep enough to fit around the cage. my last one was too short.

[@ETFootprints]

My F60 pins stopper snapped during delivery. It's made of cheap plastic material to block A-B metal pins. By cheap, I mean really cheap abs plastic. Bad design choice. Beware that if you're using lens with focus throw more than 200 degree, you need to purchase their bigger gear. Again it's just plastic gear and has to be purchased separately. Why not including the cheap plastic gear is beyond me. It's good product but not great. I suggest either get the cheaper version or just go for nucleus nano II.

[@EvanSchneider]

Yeah, it would be nice if they included multiple gears for different focus throws. But for the price I think it's still great value.
