HV20 Focusing Tool
3 months ago
The HV20 comes with a manual focus roller, which is a good thing. However, it is a bit awkward to operate.
Others here and in HV20.com have come up with clever ways to get around this problem. They usually involve larger wheels that are mounted on some assembly. The wheels are designed to touch the roller and turn it by way of friction.
Here is a minimalist friction tool that can be used to accomplish the same task (well, perhaps with enough practice). It is small, portable, cheap, and light-weight.
Enjoy!

PS: For HV30, use black silicone tubing.
I swear the things we come up with when faced with restrictions. It is like we all a bunch of jail birds looking for a way out lol.
Great stuff!
Now I just have to get an HV20...or 30...
XD
At the start I thought you were going slit the tube and wrap it around the edge of the ruler. That way you would have "marks" to hit for your focus pulls.
