ARRI Follow Focus FF-5 HD

ARRI Follow Focus FF-5 HD

With the ARRI Follow Focus FF-5 HD, a completely modular, film style follow focus is now available for digital productions. Designed specifically for lenses with a smaller diameter focus barrel, the FF-5’s longer swing arm ensures proper gear position on the focus ring and a lower gear ratio for a more exacting focus pull on smaller diameter lenses or those with compressed focus scales.

The FF-5 HD integral snap-on mechanism locks to 15mm lightweight support rods and can be adapted to work with ARRI standard 15mm or 19mm bridgeplate support rods. ARRI Follow Focus drive gears can be attached to either side of the swing arm, allowing greater mounting flexibility.

For more options, the FF-5 HD is compatible with all ARRI FF-4 Follow Focus accessories. Right and left focus knobs and the FF-5’s longer body allow operation from either camera side with ENG lenses.

Zoom Main Unit ZMU-3

Main Features at a Glance:

Classic zoom controller for ARRI Wireless Remote System.
Film and Video/HD compatible
Flexible usage options:
- plugs directly into video lenses
- plugs directly into CLM motors
- plugs into UMC for wired use
- connects to WMU-3 for wireless use

The ZMU-3, a new member of the ARRI Wireless Remote System, is shaped like a classic handgrip zoom controller and has the classic zoom knob that assistants' thumbs all over the world are familiar with.

Under the hood it is equipped with the latest technology. Zoom speed can be precisely adjusted and zoom limits can be set. A large bar graph shows the zoom ring position, the zoom speed and various status messages, and a ZAP button allows for a quick focus check.

The Digital Micro Force2

The Digital Micro Force2 drives the DM-1X and DM-2 digital motors. It automatically calibrates the motors to the mechanical span of the lens, preventing accidental damage to either the lens or motor.

A bright LED bar graph displays the zoom position. Electronic limit stops can be set with the touch of a button.

The soft stop feature allows the user to automatically slow the zoom a programmed distance from its end of travel.

This is especially useful when doing a fast "snap" zoom, or when the user must both operate the camera and control the zoom at the same time.
