I wasn’t expecting much given the price point of this follow focus, but Neewer has been putting out some decent quality gear, so I gave it a shot. I was not disappointed! The build quality of the focus is solid, all aluminum bracket with aluminum hard stops on the wheel. I really like the rubberized grip on the wheel, which feels nice on the fingers and in the hand. Something you always pay attention when choosing a follow focus is how much play there is in the gearing when you change directions, and I must say that this follow focus is pretty tight. There is a tiny bit of play when you change directions but barely noticeable.
The kit comes with a 15 mm rod and rod mount for your camera or cage, so if you don’t already have rod to mount it to, you’re all set with this kit. Just keep in mind how long of Roger gonna need to get the follow focus over your lens as the raw that is included is only about four or 5 inches long. The kit also comes with a universal lens gear, which works in a pinch, but I recommend buying custom-made gears for your lenses as the universal lens gear is a pain to take on and off if you’re switching lenses and the tail of it gets in the way in your camera set up.
That being said, if you are in the market for a budget follow focus I would definitely recommend this!
