Z-Focus #Z-FF-1

Z-Focus
View More Images   View More Images
Zacuto's Z-focus is an extremely accurate follow focus that allows the operator or assistant to pull focus.  The Z-focus can come single sided or double sided in studio 15mm or 19mm or in a lightweight configuration. The mechanism utilizes a set of gears that connect to and spin the focus ring or Zacuto zip gear on the camera lens. The white disk allows the focus puller or operator to create distance marks for repeatable focus pulls.

The Zacuto Z-Focus (Follow Focus) includes:
-Completely gear-driven design for slip free, accurate movement.
-Helicel gear adjustment screw to allow user to tighten up gear play
-Interchangeable gear drives
-Standard accessory port for Zacuto, Chrosziel, and Arri follow focus whips and speed cranks.
-Industry-standard 15mm lightweight rod mount
-Lightweight design
-Other gear sizes available below. (For Fuji lenses, choose .6 & Canon .5)
-All Z-focuses are being shipped with the original marking disc as we are having a delay with the 3D disk. You may request a 3D disk upon ordering and it will ship to you when available.

Starting February 2010, the Z-focus will come standard with a .8 pitch, 1” diameter gear, if another pitch or diameter gear is needed that can be specified when ordering. The diameter of the gear changes the rotation of the lens. The larger the diameter, the further and faster the lens will rotate. If you need more than one gear, those can be ordered separately.

“It’s a lovely unit, very smooth… and it uses a lovely gear system. With the Zacuto Z-Focus you undo the lock at the bottom, slide the follow focus back and forth until you make contact and lock her in to the gear. It is a GREAT system and is flawless.” – Philip Bloom, DoP Director Editor

Fast Draw Fast Draw

 
The Fast Draw is a shoulder mounted handheld system that uses our DSLR baseplate. This kit works on any DSLR camera with or without battery grips as it is infinitely adjustable in height. The baseplate attaches to your tripod plate using the standard tripod plate screws, (2) ¼ 20” and (1) 3/8 16”. Your camera can also be quickly released from the rig by turning the red knob then pulling up on your camera. The camera quick release plate stays mounted to your camera so you can quickly switch between using the camera as part of a rig or on its own. You can easily add the optional Z-Finder Pro by attaching the Z-Finder Mounting Frame (included with the Z-Finder Pro) to the camera quick release plate using two thumb screws.

DSLR Baseplate DSLR Baseplate

  Your Zacuto DSLR Base Plate is a highly configurable base plate which is adjustable to accommodate tall and short body cameras and cameras with battery grips. It also has mounting points to attach just about anything. It comes with 2 3.5" rods.

The DSLR Base Plate can accommodate 15mm rods on all 4 sides. On the front are 2 levels for rods. The top is for mounting follow focuses, matte boxes, zoom/focus motors and lens support if space allows. The bottom rods are primarily used for lens support and single or double hand grips. These rods can be locked via allen screw so as to not come loose if using only one side for a single hand grip. The rear rod holes are for rod extensions to support battery power, wireless plates, monitors and numerous other accessories that you may need when in a tripod configuration. The rod holes on the left and right sides are for mounting the gunstock and the offset shoulder pad and counterweight for hand held use. Also mounted on these side rods can be a top handle, monitor arms and the cage which would use both sides at the same time.

On the bottom of the DSLR Base plate are your standard ¼ 20 and 3/8 16 mounting holes for tripods, mono pods, steadicams, etc. The top plate is a quick release plate that with a twist of the red knob lifts straight up and off separating your DSLR with the Z-finder attached, from the rest of your rig. The red knob also gives you left/right movement to adjust the lens position. On the front of the base plate between the rods are 2 allen screws that are used to adjust the top plate vertically. The vertical adjustment is to adjust for different camera body sizes and maintain the proper lens height.
