hello nice review i was wondering did u use indi focus slider dolly? is that any good where can i find reviews on it?
thanks
We have had a quick look at the IndiSlider, and it is a very interesting solution. I understand that a number of shooters use the device, and like it. However, in the very short time that we had with the slider, we noted some issues with it binding with a heavy camera rig, you really had to nurse it along to get smooth results. But, we weren’t completely satisfied that it was setup correctly. Due to those questions and tight time constraints, FreshDV was unable to do a fair and proper review of the unit. Perhaps in the future.

Chris, I think it would work but do not know for sure. Maybe get in touch with IKAN presales support or call another rental house that may know. Might try Midtown video, they are pretty active in the EX1/EX3 community and rent them often. midtownvideo.com
