16. Okii Follow Focus Demo
1 year ago
Okii Systems has developed an amazing tool for the Canon DSLR user, the Okii Follow Focus, and recently I had the opportunity to test one out.
Video was shot on the Canon 5D Mark 2 using a Canon 50mm 1.4 lense.

One question, when you were doing the manual focus pull, it looked a little jumpy, is that the video or the device?
The ability to remotely start-stop the camera, change ISO, aperture and (if you have to) shutter speed is very useful when the camera is mounted on a crane or positioned in a place where an operator cannot easily reach it.
Probably for follow-focus I would prefer to use a mechanical solution as a focus puller needs to be able to switch from A to B to C using markers on a ring, although the EF-lenses are known to slip.
AF lenses are just too jerky, since they are designed to snap from one focus point to another in milliseconds. They just aren't made for smooth focus transitions....they're made for shooting stills. Even with a traditional follow-focus it's difficult, since the rotation from closest focus to infinity can be less then 90 degrees (less then a quarter rotation of the ring).
But for setting focus/exposure when on a crane or arm, this looks like a pretty damn excellent solution.
You really cleared some doubts with this one, thank you very much.
