@mo7ies : Pretty expensive solution, indeed ;) The Lanparte Baseplate + Varavon lens support will solve the problem (I hope so). @Greek_m43 : I'll keep you informed
@pinger007 : That's a very good news, I'll check it out :)
@Vitaliy_Kiselev : Sorry I didn't quite understand, you mean two point rod attachment (i.e front and rear clamps on Lanparte base ?). Anyway thanks for your help i'll purchase LPT baseplate and check out varavon lens support.
I specially advised two point camera bases. One point can act weird. And yes, you need good adapter, good camera base and good lens support.
Btw, Varavon lens support is one of the good ones.
Even with a good mount you'll get play with an adapter. You may want to check out the Arri LS-10 which allows you to tie the lens down to stop shift. Expensive though.
The Zacuto Z-Mount II looks like it does the same kind of thing.
I recommend Lanparte, it is present in our deals.
On ebay you can find other camera mounts
Sure, but i use a Novoflex nikon/mft adapter, this one's pretty stiff so I don't believe it may cause any play. The main problem may come from my rubber adjustable gears, i'd better pick up some cinematics or similar gears. For now I use a simple trick : apply a little bit of torque to the FF before recording so that the lens moves, once the lens is stable, start recording and focusing without releasing torque.
@Vitaliy_Kiselev : Although my gini plate seems to be good, can you recommend some other good baseplates ?
After a bit more testing, I managed to minimize this issue by enlarging the lens gear diameter, reducing the torque applied to the lens. Smooth rack de/focus becomes possible but fast focusing causes way too much shifting.I'll post some video samples , but anyway, focusing with FF needs pratice I guess ;)
I suggest good camera base, good rods and lens support.
Plus do not overtighten FF.
I also suggest to post some short video sample.
