Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is the motor compatible with the SmallRig Wireless Follow Focus Contro? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1730054-REG/small

A: Yes, the SmallRig Wireless Follow Focus Lite Kit included focus motor is compatible with the SmallRig Wireless Follow Focus Controller Kit (BH #SM3917).

Q: 2. Can it control a BMD studio camera zoom lens? And can you control the zoom ring for an ATEM mini?

A: The SmallRig Wireless Follow Focus Lite Kit can be used to pull focus or zoom on any lens so long as the lens has a compatible gear ring on that element. The SmallRig Wireless Follow Focus Lite Kit is not compatible with the ATEM control software.

Q: 3. 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.

Q: 4. What company makes this product?

A: This part is made by Axler. Here is a list of additional Axler products we sell. https://bhpho.to/30BXH9Y

Q: 5. Can the hard stops be removed? If yes, how?

A: The SHAPE Follow Focus Pro (B&H# SHFFPRO) features adjustable hard stops. They are not designed to be removed. We cannot advocate disassembly to remove them as it could invalidate the warranty.

Q: 6. Is the focus drive direction reversible?

A: No, the SHAPE Follow Focus Pro (B&H# SHFFPRO) does not allow one to reverse the focus drive direction.

Q: 7. My Cavision focus whip doesn't fit this follow focus. Do you know of one that fits?

A: Most follow focus units in the world adhere to the ARRI standard accessory port metric dimensions for whips, cranks, and other focusing accessories. I would go with any that say they do. Redrock Micro 3 microWhip. Lanparte Long Focus Whip B&H # LAFW01. Redrock Micro 18 microWhip B&H # RE20140018.

Q: 8. How do you power the handgrip?

A: The handgrip of the SmallRig Wireless Follow Focus Controller Kit can be powered by an LP-E6 battery or USB cable power.

Q: 9. Which Rosette mount can be used for the grip?

A: SmallRig MagicFIZ Wireless Follow Focus Handgrip Kit comes with a 3/8-16 to nato clam adaptor only (hand grip adapter). The shoulder rig adapter which is the dedicated rossette adapter for this unit only comes with the SmallRig MagicFIZ Wireless Follow Focus Two-Motor Kit. Unfortunately this unit is not provide by SmallRig as individual parts. You could use other similar parts bu the connection is not as solid as the Smallrig shoulder rig adapter.

Q: 10. Can I use just the handle to control camera's focus over USB? Like I can with my gimbal and an autofocus lens.

A: Yes, The Smallrig system’s BLE module helps in wireless REC start/stop, follow focus and zoom which can also be realized by control cables (ID: 3325, 2971, 2970, depending on your camera type) with Wireless Receiver Motor. More info on supported camera models - https://bit.ly/3Nhpp5B

[Belt Drive] Nothing more frustrating than a soft focus and this equipment is what you need for critical focus and focus pulling. I use this F.F. with my Canon C100 and 3 Canon L series lenses. It is mounted on a gear by SHAPE which I also purchased from B&H

[12.7 x 7 x 3.9"] Sturdy, smooth, exactly what I was looking for

[1.82 lb] This is one of the very few follow focus units that works with tall profile cameras like the EOS series. Prompted my purchase of my Shape Rig and Accessories because of this focus. Works smooth and clean, love the stops and is easy to mount and use. This is most definitely worth the cash.

[Belt Drive] For its price I don't think this unit can be beat. Love how it holds the position after powering off (as long as you don't remove the motor from the lens.) You also have different power options for the motor and you have the flexibility to control two motors if you add the hand grip and another motor.

[1.82 lb] The Axler Hammerhead Follow Focus is a solid, well made, reasonably priced focus assisting tool. I purchased three of them and so far they have worked well for me with my Panasonic GH5 cameras and Rokinon cine lenses. They feel much more professionally made as compared to some of the more expensive follow focus wheels whose company names I will not mention just to be fair.

[Aluminum] This follow focus is very smooth and solid, couldn't be any happier

[Aluminum] Yes there are follow focuses that are much cheaper, but this Shape FF doesn't even deserve to be compared to those cheap ones. I'm comparing this to the two best FFs I've ever used: the industry standard ARRI-FF5 and the Chrosziel 203. They are in the $2k - $3k range, but the shape is almost just as good but at less than half of the price! The distinctive feature that makes these three great is the swing away gear arm. It makes lens changes so much easier and faster. This Shape FF has a great smooth motion to it. You can quickly flip the wheel stopper up or down easily. And it's great it gives you two focus stopper marks that are quick and easy to use. Everyone already knows that Shape makes the best handles, but now people should know that they also make a really great follow focus. Would highly recommend!

[1.82 lb] After searching for a cheap alternative, I took the cost and got the CFF-1. It is in my mind the best focus unit available. Every option you would need it has. The build is none other than O'Connor spec, backlash is to a small 1-2mm at most, super smooth and the hand wheels feels great. Perfect size with the 38 tooth gear to have a long throw on cine lenses. A helpful tip, mine shipped with some play in one of the hand wheels, there are 2 small screws on the belt cap of the hand wheel, loosen those and the gear slides up and down from the belt inside, push down and tighten to engage the gear in the handwheel on the belt and the gap is gone from in the handwheel. I bought the 1450 case, the foam inserts is an amazing idea from O'Connor, slides right in and is not a custom cut out case for the unit. All in all, a solid unit worth every penny. I just hope O'Connor doesn't decide to replace this anytime soon.

[Single-Sided] Works great with my Cine lens, so precise, and the AB marks are wonderful.

[Removable] This follow focus has become my GO-TO because of how convenient & smooth it is! I love that you can snap these on 15mm rods so easy and quickly, without moving anything else on my rig (URSA Mini Pro G2) Of course, this thing is just super smooth too! Nice and Sturdy with no play on the lens at all!

The hard stops are really nice (especially for my photo lenses that I use) and the precision!

A must buy!
