March 5, 2010

Fluid head and tripod innovator OConnor,
a Vitec Group brand, introduces the first product in their
new line of professional camera accessories: the Cine Follow
Focus CFF-1.
Constructed of lightweight, durable black anodized 7075-grade
aluminum, the CFF-1 sports a multifunctional, modular design
that eliminates the hassle of juggling separate bridge plates.
A single, easy to use snap-on bridge clamps effortlessly onto
either 15mm or 19mm studio rod systems. (An optional LWS bridge
is also available.)
The OConnor integrated approach lets the operator straddle
the line between both standards with ease and efficiency.
With the lowest clearance available in a double-sided studio
unit, OConnor’s follow focus is ideal for large diameter
lenses such as the Angenieux 24-290mm, Red 18-85mm, Fujinon
18-85mm, and Fujinon 75-400mm—and protects the user’s
equipment investment by ensuring compatibility with optical
systems now and into the future.
The CFF-1 integrates seamlessly with existing popular accessories
such as whips, gears, and cranks, while creating a new standard
in compatibility.
For better integration with all lens and mattebox configurations,
the CFF-1 swing arm can be mounted on either side of the bridge.
OConnor’s unique main follow focus bridge slides independently
of the support bridge dovetail, increasing mounting options
for specialty setups.
What’s more, a handy horizontal sliding adjustment mechanism
lets the operator locate the focus driver gear so the line
of sight to the lens witness mark is always clear -- and the
mark remains easy to read. Handwheels have eccentric adjustments
to allow for flexible positioning.
The CFF-1 uses custom-cut, low-runout gears to guarantee exacting
focus pulling with less play and higher accuracy every time.
List price for the OConnor Cine Follow Focus starts at $4,500.
A variety of options – such as a wooden handle –
will be available.
OConnor will begin taking preorders in March. Product delivery
is scheduled for April, 2010.
