The ARRI Mini Follow Focus MFF-2 Cine Set includes the basic components of a single-sided follow focus system. This compact system snaps onto a pair of lightweight 15mm rods (rods not included). The Cine Base is designed with a 2:1 knob-to-gear ratio for quick but smooth focus pulls on cine-style lenses, with their typically large range of focus barrel rotation. The 0.8 mod/43-tooth focus gear will work with most larger prime lenses and 35mm format zoom lenses with standard 32-pitch gear rings. This set's included standard left-sided knob is interchangeable with ARRI 2-speed and hard-stop knobs (available separately). The MFF-2 base's reversing feature can be used to maintain the standard direction of the focusing knob when using Nikon and Leica lenses.
The modular design of the MFF-2 makes it compatible with ARRI follow focus accessories such as additional lens gears, whips, speed cranks, and knob accessories (available separately). One flat marking disk is included with the MFF-2 Cine Set.
The Mini Follow Focus MFF-2 Cine Base from ARRI is a main building block of the MFF-2 follow focus system. This sturdy, single-sided unit snaps onto any 15mm rod lightweight support (not included). The Cine Base is designed with a 2:1 knob-to-gear ratio for quick but smooth focus pulls on cine-style lenses, with their typically large range of focus barrel rotation. The base's reversing feature can be used to maintain the standard direction of the focusing knob when using Nikon and Leica lenses.
The modular design of the MFF-2 enables you to build the follow focus to suit your needs. A choice of three compatible ARRI focus knobs is available—standard, two-speed, or hard-stop (all left-sided). Gears come in various sizes and pitches to work with different lens barrel sizes and gear ring pitches. Focus knobs and lens gears are not included with the MFF-2 Cine Base.
The left-sided ARRI Standard Focus Knob fits ARRI FF-5 and MFF-2 Cine/HD, and FF-4 follow focus units. This standard, single-speed knob is designed to work with cine-style lenses having hard infinity and close focus limits. One reusable flat marking disk is included with the knob. Compatible ARRI focus accessories such as whips, speed cranks, and extensions are available separately.
This ARRI Follow Focus Gear can be used with all ARRI follow focus systems. The 43-tooth, 0.8 mod gear is designed for use with larger prime lenses and 35mm format zoom lenses that have 32 pitch gear rings. Its gear face width measures a relatively slim 6mm.
