Abstract:
A follow focus, comprising a main bridge including a transmission housing and an output gear, a removable arm including an input gear and a lens turning gear or an interface capable of receiving a lens gear, an axial securement means that is operable by hand to engage to prevent axial movement between the arm and the transmission housing, and disengages to allow the arm to be rotated and/or removed, such that between the arm and the main bridge there is provided a first engagement element having a substantially axial face having projections and a second engagement element substantially axial face having corresponding indentations, wherein either the first or the second engagement element has a threaded outer circumference and may be fixably rotated, and wherein the first engagement element is borne by the arm, and the second engagement element is borne on the transmission housing such that the axial securement means may be operated to secure the arm to the main bridge so that the projections and corresponding indentations of the first and second engagement elements engage to prevent rotational movement of the arm relative to the transmission housing.
