Universal follow-focus crank

The Wooden Camera UFF-1 Universal Follow Focus (Crank Only) is a precision lever for remote focus control on professional camcorders and cinema cameras. It connects to a follow-focus hand wheel so a focus puller can adjust focus without touching the lens barrel. The crank suits operators who need repeatable, tactile focus pulls during narrative or commercial shoots. Builders who need a complete follow-focus kit with gears and rods cannot use this crank alone.

Sustained-operation behaviour

The crank is machined for continuous rotation on set without binding or backlash during long takes. Its mechanical linkage transmits torque directly to the hand wheel, so focus movement stays consistent from the first mark to the last. No electronic components are present to overheat or drift during extended recording sessions. The accessory port on the backside accepts a whip for additional leverage when required.

Thermals, noise and power

Passive all-metal construction generates no heat and draws no power during use. Operation is silent, adding no audible noise to the microphone environment on set. The crank requires no batteries, cables or firmware updates, eliminating a failure point in critical production workflows. Durability is maintained through repeated daily use in studio and location conditions.
