Smooth as butter

Rated 5 out of 5

I bought this follow focus a few years ago to use with my DSLR, and later used it a bit with my C200. I now am using it with my C300 MIII and EF L glass, and it works flawlessly. If I adopt PL lenses to my C300 MIII, i think this follow focus will perform. Very well built.

Works great with Rokinon lenses.

Impressed with the quality. Nice smooth motion. Mounts and adjusts easily. No slippage on my Rokinon lenses.

Will it work with the VCT Universal of Zacuto? Thanks.
Asked by: Anonymous
Yes it will. The VCT Universal Baseplate from Zacutto includes 15mm rods, which is what this Follow Focus unit uses for a connection.

Will this work with any cine lens?

Will this work with any cine lens?
Asked by: Sean
As long as the gear pitch is correct, there are other gears from lanparte if it's not, then it should interface. One thing to be sure of is that there is some room between the lens and the rods to allow for this to be installed and worked correctly, doesn't take much just a little.

question

What changed between v1 and v2 of this FF?
Asked by: Richard V.
It is our opinion that the difference stems in the style of 15mm rod attachment. The V1, the bracket had 15mm holes you had to slip on from the front. The V2 has the much better, much faster clamp-on. I have always found this to be much better to work for you do not have to remove a matte box if you wish to switch from the camera left to camera right position for example. Over all, the clamp-on version saves you time, energy and aggravation during set-up, on-set changes and at wrap.

question

There are 2 mod .8 gears listed under accessories, a 54 tooth and a 36 tooth. Is one (or both) of these included with the unit? I assume the greater tooth-number is for lenses with greater focus throws, right? I'm thinking of using this with a G.L. Optics lens which has a 300 degree throw.
Asked by: Kenneth H.
This is the gear included with the Follow Focus V2: 1 x 0.8-43 Pitch Module Drive Gear. With 43 teeth, it is a good compromise. Try it first with the G.L. Optics lens and see how it feels for you. If not to your satisfaction, you have the other gear options.
