FOLLOW FOCUS FF-5HD
There is no need to compromise when focus is critical or complex. The ARRI FF-5HD follow focus system brings film style quality and precision to digital production, giving digital cinematographers the control necessary to get the shot the first time, every time.
FF-5HDFollow Focus FF-5HD
The ARRI Follow Focus FF5-HD, a completely modular film- style follow focus, is now available for digital productions. Designed specifically for lenses with a smaller diameter focus barrel, the longer swing arm ensures proper gear position on the focus ring. A lower gear ratio allows a more exacting focus pull on smaller diameter lenses or those with compressed focus scales.
The FF5-HD integral snap-on mechanism locks to 15mm lightweight support rods and can be adapted to work with ARRI Standard 15 mm or 19 mm bridgeplate support rods. ARRI Follow Focus drive gears can be attached to either side of the swing arm, allowing greater mounting flexibility.
ARRI gears are made from low friction Delrin for optimal drive smoothness and use precise self-centering stainless steel couplings to eliminate runout and wear.
For more options, the FF-5HD is compatible with all ARRI FF-4 Follow Focus accessories. Right and left focus knobs and the FF-5’s longer body allow operation from either camera side with any lens. In addition, an extension is available to clear the largest matteboxes. Short and long focus whips allow the assistant to stand farther away from the camera and a focus crank makes fast snap zooms smooth and accurate.
