About the Follow Focus range
Start with your lens and camera rig. Check whether the follow focus mounts to a 15mm rod, a single rod or another support, then confirm there is enough clearance around the lens. Most cinema lenses use a 0.8 MOD focus gear, while stills lenses may need a flexible silicone gear, toothed ring or replacement gear. Compare hard stops, damping, backlash, marking discs and drive-gear options. A wireless motor can be useful when the camera is on a gimbal, crane or remote rig, while a manual unit suits direct operation beside the camera.
Compatibility mistakes usually come from matching the drive gear but overlooking the mounting system, lens diameter or control connection. Confirm your rig uses the required 15mm standard and check whether the product needs one rod or a two-rod support. For wireless systems, check motor, controller, cable and power compatibility rather than assuming brands will work together. This range includes manual follow focuses, wireless kits, lens gears and control cables, so read each product page for included parts and dispatch time.
Follow Focus questions
Do I need a follow focus for a DSLR or mirrorless lens?
Not always. A follow focus is useful when you want smoother, more precise focus pulls or repeatable marks. Many stills lenses need a toothed gear ring or silicone gear because they do not have a built-in cinema-style 0.8 MOD focus ring.
What does 0.8 MOD mean on a follow focus?
0.8 MOD describes the spacing and profile of the gear teeth. It is common on cinema lenses and follow focus drive gears. The lens gear and follow focus gear must match, unless you use a compatible replacement gear or lens gear ring.
Will a 15mm follow focus fit any camera rig?
It will fit a rig with the matching 15mm rod support, but the rod position and available clearance still matter. Check whether the unit uses a single rod or 15mm LWS mounting, and confirm the lens gear aligns with the drive gear.
