For smooth focus adjustments, slot the Axler Hammerhead Follow Focus onto your 15mm LWS rig. With its large hand wheel, built-in adjustable hard stops, a marking disk, and compatibility with 0.8 MOD lens gearing, the Hammerhead enables precise focus pulling on cinema, DSLR, or mirrorless lenses that have a 0.8 MOD lens gear installed (an adjustable lens gear is included in the box). Since a quick release system is implemented at the base of the unit, the Hammerhead can be easily snapped onto 15mm LWS rods without disrupting other mounted accessories, such as matte boxes or lens supports.
While follow focus systems are classically employed when a crew is available, the Hammerhead can also be used by solo operators. The marking disk is angled to be visible from both the side and the rear, for a clear line-of-sight from the operator and assistant positions. Assistants can use the ARRI standard accessory port for whips or speed-cranks.
