Would I be able to use this follow focus for a canon 60D with a battery grip? since it adds about a couple of inches to the height.

Most likely yes but please read.. This fallow focus (as seen in the photo) has a built in riser that others sell separately for that very reason but there is no guarantee it will work without measuring as all the rigs out there are different heights from the camera mount plate to the rail top. Your lens diameter and rail height will be needed to answer that accurately. Here is the measurement you will need from me to figure it out: The height measuring from the top of the rail to the top of the small gear on the fallow focus is 3 and 1/8 inches and the lens strap gear is 1/4 inch so the distance between the top of the rail (on your rig) to the bottom of your lens (on your lens focus ring) can not be greater than 3 and 1/4 inches (2 to 3 inches would be optimal). If it is greater than 3 and 1/4 its not a big deal but you will need to get creative and raise your rails, or add another set of rails with risers, or flip you mounts over to raise your rials. In the end there is always a way with all the rig adapters available in the 15mm x 60mm rail size. I hope that helps and good luck with your build.

I tried with Nikon 24-70 f2.8 lens and I could. But with Nikon 28-300 f3.5 it was a little bit slow. I am not sure if I was doing anything wrong. Over all I am very happy with grip. The extra battery helps me with taking video for a longer time.

Yes Donna, this work w/canon 60D! I actually bought it for my 60D & just ordered another one for a friend! REALLY nice accessory for the 60D & is a must have! Includes 2 magazines (1 for regular camera battery; spots for 2 batteries but you only need 1 & 6 AA batteries magazine; which I use as a backup when I'm out shooting) You & the hubby will not be disappointed! Hope my response helps!

FL mount lenses are mostly compatible with FD mounts. With shorter focal length lenses, you may experience some issues. If you're using this on a full frame EOS camera (like a 5D), it will be more evident than on the smaller sensor bodies (like a Rebel). Mostly it will be an infinity focus thing, or vignetting. You'll probably be fine. Might as well order it and try it out. If it doesn't work out, return it.

I have a T2i and it barely zips closed with the battery grip attached. I think the 60D would be too big.

Absolutely- It can be adjusted up for clearance above the camera and the bottom mount screw and moved as well for spacing between the body of the camera and the hand grip. Make sure you purchase a sync cord compatible with your camera if you do not already have one. I also have the Vello version for my Nikons and they work perfectly.

Jacob,That's what I am using it for. Bought a remote shutter release for my 40D and had to get this to use the release on my 60D. It's cheap and it works. Can't ask for much more than that.

Maybe? The cord is not very long. I can usually hold it, click to focus and release with a timer for self portraits but it really depends on the lens you have. It's an excellent product though and I highly recommend! You'll probably be very satisfied.

The length of travel seems pretty standard to me for most shoots. I do however find myself at times wishing It where a bit longer so a 60" may work best for you. Plus this version does not hold a lot of weight. Example. My 5dmkiii with extended life battery grip plus lense seems to bend the slider when the camera is fully extended to either side while the slider is mounted on a tripod. If you plan on using a similar setup especially in a 60" length, Opt for the next level up slider, The k5.Hope this helped.

The gear that interfaces with the ring on the lens can be pulled out and placed on the opposite side of the follow focus, allowing the focus to pull in the opposite direction. This does require sliding the follow focus back along your rails closer to the camera, which could cause problems with some shorter lenses, but has worked fine for me so far.

I'm gonna say no. This follow focus is designed to work with rubber gears that you wrap around the focus mechanism of the lens. It's really built for prime lenses or zoom lenses that have internal moving parts like, for example, the Sigma 18-35 1.8. The canon lens you're asking about has that weird focus gear right in front which I'm assuming schticks out when you change the focal length (I haven't used a kit lens in years) and it's way too small for any rubber gear. While this is a good follow focus system and I do recommend it, I can't recommend it for that lens. I would suggest a zoom lens that at least has a focus ring that does not move with the different focal lengths.

works great for my 60d great for going to the beach or anywhere theres sand dust or a slight drizzle. if you plan on using a battery grip you will have to shave the bottom off to get a flush fit or the grip will not work even a mm makes a difference. i shaved/trimmed mine at the bottom very slowly and it works great with my battery grip... well worth it for you if you do a lot of outdoors stuff.. the only minor drawback is that if u like to make quick lens changes then it will slow you down as you have to look at the lens and ensure it is seated properly as the snugit lives up to its name as being quite snug. works great for my 60d great for going to the beach or anywhere theres sand dust or a slight drizzle. if you plan on using a battery grip you will have to shave the bottom off to get a flush fit or the grip will not work even a mm makes a difference. i shaved/trimmed mine at the bottom very slowly and it works great with my battery grip... well worth it for you if you do a lot of outdoors stuff.. the only minor drawback is that if u like to make quick lens changes then it will slow you down as you have to look at the lens and ensure it is seated properly as the snugit lives up to its name... » Read More works great for my 60d great for going to the beach or anywhere theres sand dust or a slight drizzle. if you plan on using a battery grip you will have to shave the bottom off to get a flush fit or the grip will not work even a mm makes a difference. i shaved/trimmed mine at the bottom very slowly and it works great with my battery grip... well worth it for you if you do a lot of outdoors stuff.. the only minor drawback is that if u like to make quick lens changes then it will slow you down as you have to look at the lens and ensure it is seated properly as the snugit lives up to its name as being quite snug. « Show Less

I don't think it would fit with a battery grip. I have nikon d800 no grip and with 70-200 lens and fits great and have space left. I love this bag.

Not sure. But I had a Canon T3i with Battery grip and it wasn't even close. The lens was a 17-55mm kit lens. I ended up returning the bag. The bag is well made.

It works perfectly with the battery grip on the Canon T3i and 60D that I own... I do not have a 6D but I can assume it will work just as well! Hope this info helps.

No this will not fit either camera with a battery grip. I usually carry the 24-105 lens and unzip the bottom portion. Your best option is to go with the next size up or two sizes up.

This mount is meant for slr's. The follow focus will not work with anything that does not have a focus ring. You are better off to get some sort of steadicam mount for such a product.
