The $15 Follow Focus uses a traditional 15mm rod clamp design so it can be used in any rig. It is easy to assemble and make, using standard hardware that you can get at any hardware store, it makes it easy for anyone to get parts or make their own. It is designed to be simple and will be available assembled, as a kit, or downloadable to make it accessible to everyone.
Using the $15 dollar follow focus, you can get smooth focus pulls that really bring quality to your video footage. Just like they do in the movies! For photography, it puts dslr focusing in your control. The design has virtually zero backlash and can be adjusted for different focus distances. Its super compact and light weight and the price makes it easy to have several if you have multiple cameras that you are using.
