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 alightweight 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. 

If your lenses are not pitched you can add our Zacuto zip gear to your lens and use the .8 gear that comes standard with the follow focus. 


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) 

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
