Introduction: Diy DSLR Follow Focus
In this tutorial, I will be showing you how to build a follow focus for your dslr lens.
This is a very easy project and only costs about 25 cents.
Enjoy
Step 1: Materials
All you need to make this:
1-Rubber band*Must fit tightly around lens focus adjustment
1-Screw(size is up to your preference)
1-Hot glue gun
Step 2: Get a Rubber Band
FIrst, find a rubber band.
Try to find the thickest one you can.
It must be tight around the focus ring on your camera lens.
Step 3: Insert Screw and Glue
Poke your rubber band with a needle, making a small hole in it.
Then, insert your screw through the hole and glue it in place.
Make sure to glue the bottom of the screw so you dont scratch your lens.
Step 4: Done!
Slide your rubber band on the lens focus adjustment ring.
Now you can make smooth and fast focus transitions for just a quarter.
