Generic whip for an Arriflex FF-2?

[Shawn Nelson]

I'm pretty stoked, I can now give up my plans for an off-brand FF unit as I was able to score a used Arriflex FF-2 double sided unit for an excellent price. But now I want to buy a whip, which I see no reason to not just get an offbrand for that (no moving parts, etc.). The Redrock site says their whip is "standard Arri size", does that mean it would fit the FF-2?

I have the long Redrock whip and I like it a lot. Sexy, flexy and strong. Yes, it has a standard port attachment. FreshDV did some testing of various follow focus systems recently (review forthcoming), and the whip fit perfectly in Chrosziel, Petroff, Cinetech and Redrock units (umm, duh...). So I imagine it will work perfectly with the Arri. Hope that helps.
