How can you aim it where you want or see what you're aiming at or control focus or anything?

easy, you get your assistant to sit on the end of the stick with the camera

I thought you had to purchase the "add-ons" for aiming, focusing and monitoring for a lousy $8,598.99.

Even with pre-focusing and thinking ahead it still limits the use of this thing significantly.

Sometimes prefocusing is the solution. Sometimes you can stand by the camera when moving and use a standard follow focus with a whip. I will use it with my Lilliput monitor when needed. For those who can afford it, an Okii USB focus controller could do the trick for that need.

As with everything filming with DSLR there are problems and solutions.

The great thing with this one is the size and weight. I just received mine, but haven’t had the time to try it out for anything yet.
