Wooden Camera Zip Focus Overview

If you require a follow focus that can fit compact camera setups, check out the Wooden Camera Zip Focus Single-Rod Follow Focus. As the name implies, the Zip Focus only requires a single rod to secure to your camera rig. This model features an extended design over the 15mm LWS version, ensuring compatibility with larger 19 or 15mm studio rod setups. A central joint allows for flexible pivoting to fit a wide range of lenses. The rubberized focus knob is textured for a sure grip. At the center of the knob is an ARRI-standard accessory port for attaching separately available accessories such as a whip or a crank.

Use the included hard-stop disk with lenses that don't have hard stops, like many DSLR and mirrorless camera lenses, or if you want to physically limit your cine lens's focus rotation. Two standard replaceable marking disks are included as well. Users of photography lenses will appreciate the inclusion of a friction drive gear in addition to the 0.8 MOD drive gear for controlling lenses that don't have gearing. Gears can be secured to either side of the follow focus, providing flexibility in positioning where the follow focus can be tightened down, relative to other rig components.

Wooden Camera Zip Focus Reviews

Not as good as they used to be

By Jethro
Rated 1 out of 5

I’ve owned one of these follow focuses in the past and it was great. However I sold it a while ago. I bought this one again when it was on sale for $250. Terribly disappointed with the quality. The wheels plastic backing was bent/warped and rubbed against the focus marker every rotation. On top of that, the focus gear screw wouldn’t screw into the mounting point. Not even worth $250, I returned it. Go buy a used older follow focuses from Chrosziel. Much better quality and cheaper.

Excellent Run and Gun focus wheel!

This is a simple but high quality wheel that pairs well with my Zeiss CP.3 Kit. I use this on my B Cam which is a Komodo and it fits the bill perfectly.

Is the extended arm adjustable?

Is the extended arm adjustable?
Asked by: Mitchel
The hand wheel and gear is adjustable as it is separate from the arm that connects to the rod.

Can you convert the 15mm LWS to 19mm if you only bought the 15mm LWS?
Asked by: Toby
Yes you can make that conversion. You will just need the Wooden Camera 19/15mm Studio Rod Clamp for Zip Focus Follow Focus, BH #WO255900. This will allow you to swap out the original clamp from the 15mm LWS Zip Focus. https://bhpho.to/2HD1MUt
