In movie and video recording , if you want torack stress , a “ follow focal point ” makes the job a peck easier . seize to the focus ring , a follow focal point can be as simple as a control stick or as complicated as a gearbox .
Ultimately , the determination is always the same : Make it as quick and simple as possible to rotate that focus hoop from one spot to another . And make the problem one - handed .
But while follow focus is basically a criterion in motion film and video recording cameras , it ’s nonexistent in the New day , video - wielding dSLR world . So one flickr member made his own follow focusing with a $ 6 steel hosepipe clamp from Home Depot . pad with a condom striation , it clamps right around the focus ring . And hey , it works bully !
Look for the official , $ 200 versions from Nikon and Canon some time in the future , I ’m certain . Unlike the Home Depot rendering , they will be pulverization coated disgraceful . [ flickr ]
