Description

The Redrock Micro microFollowFocus Indie Bundle has as its core components a complete and very well-built follow focus system and three strong, flexible, different-sized lens gears that optimise the system for still lenses. The gears wrap around the focusing rings of still lenses, gently gripping them tight, and on the outside match the 0.8 teeth of the follow focus's gear ring. The gear ring otherwise, without need for lens gears, sits ready to accommodate any cine lenses (since cine lenses natively have matching 0.8 teeth). The remaining components of the bundle are a white marking disk, which cleans easily at the wipe of a cloth, and a grease pencil for marking focus stops on the disk. (A focus indicator cutout on the focusing wheel at all times very clearly shows where you are focused.)

The follow focus -- the microFollowFocus -- is the "little brother" of the microFollowFocus | Blue. It tightens by thumbscrew onto a pair of 15 mm rods and can be used with 19 mm rods per the separately-sold addition of a microOmniMount accessory. Once the follow focus is on the rods, and a lens is mounted onto the camera that's on those rods, the focusing unit of the follow focus slides left or right to adjust to the diameter of the lens; and as different diameters are supported, so are different lengths -- the follow focus's gearbox flips to the front or to the rear to support long and short lenses by lining up with their focusing rings. The gearbox is additionally adjustable to reduce backlash to minimal/zero in order to achieve backlash-free focus pulls, meaning that the teeth of the gear ring will meet the teeth of the lens (or of the lens gear) in a fit such that will leave no space, no looseness, between them, achieving hence precise fluidity -- the whole purpose of a follow focus.

microFollowFocus is made of precision-machined aircraft grade aluminium, its drive gear of hardened composite with a metal insert in it, and its focusing wheel featuring a rubberised handgrip. A standard accessory port is available on the side of the focusing wheel for the attachment of a speed crank or a focus whip (items that let an assistant pull focus from about a foot or more away).
