But you can also buy Tilta\u2019s baseplate to use it \nanyway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> o Both are easy to setup on camera, I particularly like \nhow Tilta\u2019s rod securing mechanizing, so the rod will never move, unlike\n iFocus\u2019 that if you didn\u2019t turn tight enough, it can come loose (not \nquite often though).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> o What I didn\u2019t like about Tilta\u2019s setup, it\n uses L wrench which is prompt to lose it if you don\u2019t take care of it. \nIt comes with 3 sizes\u2026 so you have to use each to attach\u2026 Not ideal. \niFocus uses wrench knob, which I like for securing, just not the rod \npart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> o Calibration: <br> \uf0a7 Tilta definitely has the easiest! Set\n it up, turn both motor and wheel on, hold down cal button for 3-4 \nseconds, and it will auto calibrate for you. (for those fly-by-wire \nlenses, you will have to do manual calibration).<br> \uf0a7 iFocus \ncalibration is a bit more \u2018steps\u2019: 1. You turn the hand unit to one side\n and turn the lens to one set, to set the point, then you turn the hand \nunit and the lens to the other side to set the 2nd point and then you \nare set. So basically an universal way to do all lenses no matter it\u2019s \nregular, quasi-cine-style or fly-by-wire type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> o Power:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> \uf0a7 iFocus and it\u2019s hand unit both contain rechargeable battery to about 24hrs. so you don\u2019t have to carry additional power bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n \uf0a7 Tital\u2019s motor unit requires external power, so you will need a 5v 2.1\n power bank to start with, if you need more voltage to go into the motor\n unit, you will need to use P-Tap batteries, so basically, it has 5v to \n18v power regulation, the higher voltage, the less delays there is. So \nyes, there IS a delay<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> \uf0a7 IFocus\u2019 internal battery is powerful enough that can move any lens\u2026 So far<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> o Other features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n \uf0a7 Tital\u2019s Nano only have A and B set point, HOWEVER, if you plan to use\n with other Tilta\u2019s products or gimbal like the Ronin-S or their own, \nthen you can have control. With additional cable, you can control stop \nand start recording with various DSLR\/Mirrorless Cameras (GH5\/Sony etc.)\n and you can control this through the Tilta\u2019s wheel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> \uf0a7 iFocus kit,\n in addition to be able to set A and B points, you can also program up \nto 3 customs settings so iFocus can easily play back the settings and \nrack for you automatically and always correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> o Distance: Both claimed to have over 300ft range, I have yet to test that part out<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <strong>Conclusion<\/strong>:<br>  Which to get will depends on your needs, if you have previous Tilta\u2019s  products, stick with it. If you have the Air 2 gimbal, just get the  iFocus and the Hand Unit, so you can take advantage of the gimbal\u2019s  wheel attachment and offers precision racking without delays. If you do  want to buy a wireless follow focus system, you can\u2019t go wrong with  either. Personally, I would prefer iFocus now that I\u2019ve played with both  a bit more.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zpMVB87hw3M\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n<p><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-dHh4A9i8b4\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wireless Follow Focus System So i get to play with both under $300 wireless follow focus, and this is just my observation after playing with it in a day&#8230; At end of this video got two videos to check it out.
