Using the Follow Focus PRO
Mounting the Follow Focus PRO to your Camera Rig:
Before attaching the Follow Focus PRO unit to your rig, you should first mount
your lens gear belt around the focus wheel on your lens. To do so, loosen the
thumbscrew on the lens gear belt
(6)
until the teeth of the gear slide through
the clasp. Next, slide the belt around the focus wheel on your lens
(7)
, pull it
snug and then tighten the thumbscrew.
Once the lens gear belt is attached, you can mount the Follow Focus PRO to
your rig. To do this, loosen the black knob
(4)
opposite the focus wheel which
will loosen the clamps, allowing you to snap the focus assembly onto your
camera rig
(8)
. Your goal is to mount the unit on the rails so that the drive
gear meets the teeth of the lens gear belt. To finetune the distance of the focus
wheel and drive gear from the lens, loosen the black knob on the bottom of the
rail mount
(9)
. When you have properly mated the teeth on the drive gear and
the lens belt, tighten the black knob on the bottom of the rail mount to lock the
unit in place
(10)
. Do not press the gears together
too tightly as you could cause damage to your
equipment or to the follow focus unit.
