Replacement Gear for 16R System

The Zacuto Z-ZG-16R is a direct replacement gear designed for the Zip Gear 16R support system. It restores function when the original gear is damaged or worn. The part fits the existing mechanism so operators can resume work without replacing the whole rig. It is intended for camera assistants and owner-operators who maintain their own support equipment.

Sustained Operation Stability

The gear is machined from robust material chosen to resist deformation under continuous use. Its tooth profile maintains consistent engagement during long takes or repeated focus pulls. This reduces play that can introduce vibration into the image. The construction aims to keep movement smooth over many production cycles.

Build Quality and Integration

The component slots into the Zip Gear 16R housing using the original mounting points, requiring no tools beyond those normally carried on set. Its dimensions match the factory specification so follow-focus travel and hard stops remain unchanged. The durable finish resists wear from frequent lens changes. It serves as a practical spare for rental houses and multi-camera productions.
