What is followfocus?

A follow focus is a device used by filmmakers and videographers to accurately adjust the focus on a camera lens while filming. It is a piece of equipment that mounts to the camera and enables the operator to smoothly pull focus on the fly.

There are typically two types of follow focus: mechanical and electronic. Mechanical follow focus systems use gears and a wheel to turn the focussing barrel of the lens, while electronic follow focus systems use a motor to make adjustments remotely.

Follow focus systems are available in a variety of sizes and shapes to fit different cameras and lenses, and can be used in a variety of settings for any type of production. They are especially useful for filmmakers who frequently need to adjust focus during a shot, as it allows for smoother transitions and more precise focus.

Overall, a follow focus system is an essential tool for any filmmaker or videographer who wants to create professional-looking and perfectly focused shots.
