Our adjustable Shoulder Rest:
It weighs 2lb. 2oz. There's a ball socket that lets you adjust the padded piece up, down, sideways or to any shoulder-slope angle. Another ball socket makes the handle angle adjustable every which way. The handle extends from 8 to 12 inches. Our Matte Box:
The rod fits into the 35-3's carrying handle. With the BL, it fits into a socket on the body. A lever lets you quickly align the unit with the lens. Hard mattes snap onto the sunshade. You can use any prime lens from 16mm to 180mm. Weight: 2lb. exactly. Hand-holding with effects filters
The filter stage accepts two rectangular filters, 4X4 or 4X5.65. And it rotates 360 degrees. With Clairmont, you can hand hold and use grads, polarizers or other effects filters.
Our Handheld Matte Box has two 360 degree rotating filter stages. And you can change lenses without having to remove the Handheld Follow Focus rig.
Changing and setting lens is also fast and easy
That same single lever lets you instantly swing the F.F. gears away
from the lens - so you can quickly and easily change lenses without removing the Follow Focus assembly. With or without the gears in place, it's easy to get at the lens and easy to see the settings. Fast to work with.
Our flexible Focus Control:
You can work it from left or right of the camera and from any distance. It plugs into either side and it comes in any length you want. One-to-one ratio; and no play in the movement. Your witness mark is easy to see. No lens flexing
D esigned to make your work look better
Several First Assistants told us that with some follow-focus setups they could see and feel the gears moving the lens slightly in its mount. The Operator could see it in the finder. With the Clairmont Follow Focus, they say, there's no such movement.
Our Follow Focus: fits any lens, fast
It mounts on the Handheld Matte Box rod. Using one lever, you can quickly mate its adjustable gears with any of our prime lenses- our modified Canons and Cookes, our Nikons, our PL and B mount Zeisses. The Follow Focus works with any of our 35mm Arriflex cameras, including the 2C. Weight: 71!2 oz.
