Digital Juice FOLLOW FOCUS PRO Manuals

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. 1 4 2 5 5 10 3 Getting Started Guide The Digital Juice Follow Focus PRO is an essential accessory for any professional DSLR camera setup, allowing for quick and accurate focusing with minimal lens shake.
