Proaim FocusBee Follow Focus

Proaim FocusBee Follow Focus Overview

The aluminum FocusBee Follow Focus from Proaim can be mounted on any 15mm LWS rod system and allows you to make fine, smooth focus adjustments from either side of your lens. The follow focus comes with a 35-tooth 0.8 MOD drive gear and an additional 43-tooth 0.8 MOD gear for finer adjustments, which can be adjusted using a tension knob. The unit snaps onto the 15mm rods, so you don t have to remove other rod-mounted accessories to add it to your rig. It can swing away from your lens for lens changes. A removable white marking disk is included for marking stop points, and it features a notch so it stays in place and doesn t spin.

Effortless Focus Adjustments

The FocusBee Follow Focus includes a 15mm Lightweight core bridge for mounting onto 15mm LWS rods.

It also features a sleek swing arm, a 0.8 MOD 43-tooth drive gear, a 35-tooth drive gear, and a focus handwheel with marking disk that delivers smooth and precise focus adjustments.

Focus Handwheel and Swing Arm

The handwheel is a conical shape with an anti-slip grip and built-in depression that lets you accurately pull focus without taking your eyes off the action. There s also a standard whip/crank port for an optional whip. You can pull focus from either side of your lens by switching the focus unit from one side to another.

The swing arm features a 1:1.842 gear ratio that enables broader and smoother focus adjustments, and it also works well with the lightweight core bridge by transferring the focus movement from the handwheel mounted on your core bridge to the drive gear that interfaces with your lens.

Tension Adjustment Knob

The swing arm features a built-in tension adjustment knob that applies slight pressure or tension on the gear mechanism to eliminate unwanted movement in the focus gear.

It improves the overall quality of the footage and helps maintain focus consistency throughout the shot.

Two Drive Gear Options

The 35-tooth drive gear delivers a fast, less sensitive focus control, making it useful for wide-angle lenses, especially in fast-paced shooting scenarios.

The 43-tooth drive gear has a finer gear ratio than the 35-tooth drive gear, allowing the operator to focus more precisely, especially when working with lenses with narrow field depth. Both gears can be mounted on either side of the swing arm.

Removable Marking Disk

The handwheel also includes a removable marking disk that can be pre-marked to match specific lenses for rapid lens changes and focus resets.

It features an indentation that prevents the marking disc from spinning.

Portable Design

The follow focus unit can be separated to be accommodated in a travel-friendly pouch, enabling a hassle-free carriage.
