SHAPE Follow Focus Friction & Gear Clic

SHAPE Follow Focus Friction & Gear Clic

The SHAPE Friction & Gear Follow-Focus Clic withAdjustable Marker is made of lightweight anodized CNC aluminium for strength anddurability. It is designed to attach onto standard 15 mm rods of shouldersupport rigs and other rigs.

It attaches onto them via a clamp system, withsimplicity. You would sit the Clic on top of the rods, and then slide and closea SHAPE-patented lever clamp underneath the rods, and the lever locks and holdsthe Clic securely on the rods.

The Clic’s focus mechanism also works with a clampsystem, which when unlocked loosens the focus mechanism and allows it to bemoved horizontally. It moves so to adjust itself closer to the lens.

As itmoves, its main feature — the focus disk — moves with it, and the focus disk iswhat reaches the lens. The focus disk can either be a friction wheel or a gearwheel. Both are present in this package and replacing one with the other isaccomplished with the help of the included Allen wrench.

The friction wheel hasa rubber outer surface that would press up against the lens, keep firm contactwith it, and ensure accurate and slip-free focusing. The friction wheel wouldserve well for most lenses and is made of high-quality rubber that in coldtemperatures won’t get too cold to lose its grip. The gear wheel wouldaccommodate those lenses that specifically have teeth on their focusing rings,and it would do so without any ring gears, by pressing its 0.8 pitch gears intothe teeth.

The focus mechanism can be used on either the left orthe right side of the lens, depending on the direction you place the Clic ontothe rods in. And the focus disk itself can be used either in front of the focusmechanism or behind it, so to accommodate a wider variety of lens lengths.

Tomove the disk to the rear, you would first just unscrew two screws from thegearbox. Once the screws are off, the focus disk can just be flipped over foruse with longer lens constructions. The white mark disk at the right of the redknob is made of highly resistant Delrin thermoplastic.

It can be written onwith non-permanent markers to mark up focus measurements for various predeterminedshots, and it is interchangeable and thereby many predetermined measurementscan be kept ready at your side.

Additionally, a slide-adjustable marker made of aluminium is included to be attached beside the mark disk and to be moved andtightened into positions along the disk.
