We first mentioned this possibility earlier in the year, and it looks like the deal is finally available. Purchase a Foveas wireless focus system in tandem with the FS Pro vest-mounted stabilizer device, and you can take 10% off both units. This combo discount may be of interest to the new/upcoming RED camera owners who wish to fly their rigs and are shopping steadi rigs, as you’ll need some method of pulling focus on the RED lens while it’s on the stabilizer. The discount is valid through November 30th.

I should note that we have not yet had the opportunity to test the Foveas unit, nor have I read any reviews on the device. However, I will be reviewing it later this fall. We have used the Bartech BFD + M-One motor combo with a 35mm adapter rig, and it performs beautifully (as it should). It’s also over twice the cost; the Foveas + motor is priced at 895 Euro (about $1,220 USD), while the Bartech + M-One will run nearly $4000. Yet another wireless lens control option waiting in the wings for fall release is the Redrock Remote, but we have no confirmed ship date on that product at this time. Historically, one of the biggest issues with wireless lens focus units is the reliability and performance of the drive motor…and good motors generally do not come cheap. With these three offerings all over the pricing map, it will be interesting to see how they compare in real world testing.
