There’s been a lot of anticipation around Redrocks microRemote System. We’ve seen it last year at NAB 2011 and they’ve taken a lot of time to make it a quite remarkable product.

The motor seemed reasonably silent and the additional thumb control as well as the iPhone and Sonar integration provide an extremely ergonomic and improved solution to keep that 4K stuff in focus.

But it’s not only for high end users, Redrock sells this device at a very competitive price. The wired version will be $1400 and the wireless one will go for $2400. It will all be available by June 1st, but you might have to get in line and wait until they’ve shipped all the pre-orders.

There’s no news on the microEVF at this time.

NAB 2011 – New Redrock Follow Focus "Blue"

By: Sebastian Wöber

Brian Valente gave us a sneak peek of their brand new follow focus code name “Blue”. It has some pretty amazing new features to the last version of the unit they showed us last year. The build quality is great as well, this is going the Arri grade direction. So this is a product well worth checking out!

There’s so much going on here at the show. Everybody’s here, we’re trying to cover as much as we can.
