Professional Quality
The microFollowFocus is a new generation of professional-quality affordable focus unit that leads the way in price/performance. The microFollowFocus is the "little brother" to the microFollowFocus | blue that delivers the same performance and many of the same features as the microFollowFocus | blue, but at a more economical price point. The microFollowFocus incorporates new designs and technologies to deliver an incredibly solid, accurate, highly repeatable follow focus ideal for any level of production.
Performance
The microFollowFocus can be used with both still lenses (with proper gearing such as our microLensGears) and cinema lenses. Performance is the most critical aspect of any follow focus unit. At the heart of the microFollowFocus is a Redrock custom designed and manufactured gearbox that produces exceptionally smooth, backlash-free focus pulls. The microFollowFocus'unique backlash adjustments allow you to dial in exactly the feel and performance you want.
