ARRI Mini Follow Focus MFF-2 Cine Base

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.

ARRI MFF-2 Reviews

Great build quality but slips often.

I've used this follow focus on a number of shoots now and I have not been impressed by its performance for the price. The gear slips off of the lens quite often when doing any quick rack focusing. I would recommend the tilta follow focus instead for nearly a quarter of the price it is much more smooth, never slips, and is built just as well.

Excellent Quality

I've owned other Follow Focus systems before and this is definitely worth the price. I have no regrets. I'm using this with Zeiss Loxia lenses for my A7s II setup. At first I was worried about not getting the HD version with a 1:1 ratio, but with the Loxia lenses and longer throw it's just fine. Additionally, I like the fact that the knob is interchangeable with the ARRI 2-Speed or Hard Stop knobs in case I ever do need them for other lens setups. You can't go wrong with choosing ARRI.
