SHAPE FA123 Overview

Use the compact SHAPE Follow Focus Kit with Single 15mm Rod Clamp with your camera setup to make focus pulling easy. The modular design allows you to add and remove any of the components without screws or tools, and its small profile allows the addition of a matte box or accessories around your lens.

At the core of the kit is a rubber, anti-slip follow focus wheel attached to a single aluminum 15mm rod clamp. The clamp rotates to adjust to most lens sizes, and it's tightened by a locking lever. The clamp's rotation also allows the focus wheel to easily swing out of the way when changing lenses.

Five drive gears are included to fit a variety of lens sizes: 0.5 MOD/78T, 0.6 MOD/64T, 0.8 MOD/38T, 0.8 MOD/43T, and 0.8 MOD/78T. The gears can be flipped from front to back to facilitate different lens configurations. A 49mm rubber friction wheel is also included for the 0.5 MOD/78T gear which is most commonly used with DSLR lenses.

For alternate fine-focus configurations, use the included speed crank or 11" whip, both of which attach to the center point of the knob. Four magnetic marking disks are included to attach to the focus wheel.

Can this unit be mounted on either side of the lens?
Asked by: Andrew
Hello Andrew, Thank you for your question! Indeed our Follow Focus FA123 can be mounted on either side of the lens, since it has a single rod clamp system. We hope this helps and we thank you for your interest in our products. The SHAPE team

Can you change the gearing to 1:1.8 for Cine Lens?

This follow focus uses 0.8 pitch gears. 0.8 gears are the industry standard for follow focus rings in the cinema industry therefore this follow focus is compatible with most cinema lenses.
