[FS: SUPPORT] Willytec Follow Focus (Arri LFF-1 Precursor) / Arri BP-9 Bridgeplate

4/2/2016: ADDED PICTURES BELOW


Hello!

I have the legendary Willytec Follow Focus up for sale. (It was designed by Jim Elias, who also had design input on the Arri LFF-1 and FF4, the Oconnor CFF-1, and the Bright Tangerine Revolvr line.)

It comes with enough bits to make its single rod handheld version (which is very similar to the LFF-1) and its 15mm studio version. It does not have any extensions and only has the handheld knob, so it is only for use on one side at a time, without the two speed knob and without the use of marking disks. I also only have one gear, which is the larger one designed for the Cooke 20-100 (but it will, of course, work with any lens.)

Since the port for the knob is a standard 12mm square coupling, you can take off the knob and plug whatever you want directly into it.

The follow focus is fully reversible for use with Nikon lenses.

There is a tiny bit of blacklash (much less than the Arri MFF-2, for instance) but it is in good used shape.

I'm asking $750. Feel free to send an offer as well.

Thanks!

Also, some more info on the Willytec. There are a few nice features that may not be so apparent. One is that the clamp closest towards the gear, which controls the swing, is completely independent of it, so it can rotate in whatever direction you want, regardless of which way your moving the swing. Another is that on the 15mm studio bracket, the core portion can clamp on the top or on the rear of either side (which I tried to show.)

There are a few spare pieces that would come with everything, including 3x 15mm Studio Brackets (the clamp on one isn't really working) and 2x 15mm rod attachments (one is a really tight fit).

Please PM me if you have any additional questions.

Thanks!
