Here is my Honest and Frank Response.
Conversation with Danny Digital
saw you got the miny 35mm dof. which one did you get and do you recommend it?
Hi There. I ordered the Vibrating DOF with ACHROMAT.
I wouldnt recommend any of them, it was of poor build quality and the ground glass focusing screen seemed as if it was about 20 Micron, had loads of noise on it (they custom make them and they are not very impressive at all when using high def cameras) The vibrating part, which is a motor with a small weight on the end (much like you would find in you PS2 controller) was not much better.The motor decided to spin at different speed Despite changing batteries a number of times presuming it was that!
The Motor then span out of control, so much so that the GG holder was hitting the side of the extension tube uncontrollably. Rendering it useless.
Then, to top it all off the wire attached to the battery case fell off (was soldered on really poorly).
In summery. DO NOT BUY ONE!
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, i know they are cheap, but that is for a good reason. 'Buy Cheap, Buy Twice'
And I've had to do exactly that.
On the good side, i did get a refund (apart from shipping, so i lost £20!).
If your looking for a DOF adapter in the same price bracket may i recommend jag35.com.
They offer a range of DOF adapters to suit price ranges.
Mine is in the post as we speak. I can give you a review once i receive it if you wish.
Cheers
Jim
