overview

This Follow Focus / Riser /15mm Rod Kit from SHAPE combines into one bundle all the components needed for you to start pulling focus on your DSLR or camcorder. Included are the Shape follow focus, a pair of 15mm rods, and a camera riser. The follow focus features both friction and geared lens interfaces, a removable marking disk, and a clamp-on 15mm rod base. A single lever locks the half-moon shaped base onto the rods, eliminating the need to slide other accessories off in order to mount the follow focus. Another lever enables you to adjust and lock the follow focus horizontally to fit different lens diameters. The versatile SHAPE follow focus can be used on either side of the lens.

The riser/rod system serves the dual purposes of elevating the camera 2" to better accommodate the follow focus and other accessories, and mounting the included pair of 8" 15mm rods. The rod bracket may be raised up to 1-3/8" using a 4mm hex key (not included). A 4" camera-mounting slot enables you to adjust your camera's position on the riser. Multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes in the riser base allow for mounting to various tripod plates and other supports.

• Designed to attach onto standard 15mm rods.
• Attaches onto the rods via a patented clamp system.
• The focus mechanism moves horizontally to adjust to the lens.
• The focus mechanism can be used on the left or right side of the lens.
• A friction wheel and a gear wheel are included to interchange as the focus disk.
• The focus disk flips to the rear of the focus mechanism to accommodate longer lenses.
• A thermoplastic mark disk can be written on with non-permanent markers and is interchangeable.
• An included marker attaches beside the mark disk and slides and tightens into positions along the disk.
