For a while I have been looking at the new DSLR gear for filming, but have learned from my own experience most of them are far to absurd to buy, not only cause of the cost cause mainly you don’t really need it. There is much mystery about a follow focus people say it improves your stability and you can easily rack focus from one point to the other. The fact is when you are filming you are watching the screen and focus by seeing if it is in focus or not and not paying much attention to the rest. And a normal use of a follow focus is normally on a film set with a 2 man operation. Find out more in the video below.
I found people are way too much depending on gear which would improve the filming, while totally do not seek experience and learning the proper technique. I was lucky enough to have learn techniques from photography before I went into film. Able to learn proper use of a DSLR and also proper use of DSLR for filming. I have to say even though people buy a DLSR for filming I would advice to learn the proper techniques of photography too, cause photography basically is the base for filming.
