Q: 7. Can you tell me if this will fit the Kamerar FF-3 Follow Focus? Thanks

A: Like the Arri Hirth-tooth rosette and the 3/8 -16 tripod mounting screw hole, there is an industry standard for follow-focus extension connectors. That is, for the most part, the Arri 12x12mm connector. We have not tested this combination but we do not see anything to suggest this flexible follow focus extension will not work the follow focus you mentioned as intended. If you come upon a Panavision follow focus, however, that is 5/8x5/8 and it will not work.

Q: 9. Would I be able to use this follow focus with a matte box on my rig? It looks like there's no space to mount a matte box and still be able to use the follow focus.

A: The answer depends on what is your rig, your camera, your lens and your matte box. Outside of that, I would say that you can extend the rods provided to accommodate most camera/lens/matteboxes available for this level of rig.

Q: 10. Will it work with the standard Fuji lenses (not the cine versions)?

A: This device works reasonably well with cine lenses IF you set it up properly so that the gears align. It's Not the greatest follow focus, but it's good for the price. The adjustable band/belt Christopher R. refers to, does come with the unit. Personally, I'd be reluctant to use it, my ground is that I had to fiddle with the adjustments quite a bit in order for it to work properly and not try to move the lenses around or slip, you could try it. If you intend on getting cine lenses in the future it's definitely a workable device.
