Fotga Focus pull system

Buy on Amazon

Not everyone likes to purchase system for their daily usage, but the fotga focus pull system would be an anomoly. It is an improvement on its inner structure to reach a high level in this field, the dampened gear box, which permits much less backlash(even zero backlash), even better than most follow focus on the market. It has recepticals for filters that are easy accessed, but there is no rotation or swing away feature. It is easy to turn too far then the gear disengages. It is a release button on the side which can easily locate the focus. It is suitable for both left-hand and right-hand photographer. It can be detached or attached easily and quickly from the follow focus.

Movo Focus pull system

Buy on Amazon

The movo focus pull system should be able to handle its purpose and duties with ease. It should work on all cine lenses that have the widely used.8 pitch gear on their focus/zoom rings. It's not much but it's there and it's enough to see a visible "click" when it engages on a long lens either due to the camera being slightly jolted or the focus pull not being smooth. It's a solid follow focus.

This thing is built like a tank and has a ton of adjustable parts. It features and really universal and also comes with three rings in differing diameters to fit onto your lenses. The arm has a nice action to it and the rosettes on the arm really lock it in place far better than anything I've seen. It comes with it can easily be moved to the other side by unscrewing the screw and moving the gear. There is also a little play on the focus wheel causing a small delay to any focus adjustment.

• Great follow focus,steady and solid performer
• Lot of satisfied buyers
