For those looking for flexibility, the Cinetech Titanium SL Universal Follow Focus is a good catch. This lightweight package spans and fits securely into a pair of 15mm rods. Mounted on a quick-release swing-away arm, the follow focus gear can be reconfigured for different diameters of lens barrels. A unique feature of this unit is that it offers three standard ports for speed crank extension whip accessories. Titanium SL follow focus has a distinctive design and flexibility makes it stand out from the rest.
The Cinetech Titanium SL Universal Follow Focus is a lightweight unit with a unique, highly configurable design. It spans and attaches to a pair of standard 15mm rods, though we noted the locking mechanism only tightens down on a single rod. The follow focus gear is mounted on a quick-release swing-away arm that allows the unit to be readjusted for a variety of lens barrel diameters. A replaceable rubber belt on this arm drives the focus gear, and provides some dampening of the gearbox action.
The 0.8/32 pitch focus gear can be used on either side of the swing arm, and quickly replaced with optional pitch ratios. A small articulated LED light illuminates your lens barrel or the unit’s removable white marking ring. A metal clip (that can be positioned anywhere on the marking ring) provides a hard stop for difficult focus pulls. The grooved focus dial is composed of a polished wood focus dial.
The Cinetech is unique in offering three standard ports for speed crank extension whip accessories. The first is located where you would expect it, on the face of the focus dial. Under the lens barrel you’ll find another port, for operation from the opposing side of the camera. Finally, a third port points directly back to the camera operator. This one works really well with Cinetech’s handle-mounted remote manual lens control, a very handy optional accessory.
The Cinetech Titanium SL follow focus unit is a solid, unique design that can be used in a number of useful configurations. It drove our 35mm adapter and PL lens without breaking a sweat. The unit counters that by offering additional handy options and features that set it apart.
-Flexible
-Accessory ports provide more control
-Focus gear enables fast lens replacement
