The Method ZERO Follow-Focus Common Combo for Canon T2i from iDC Photo Video is actually a kit whose components come with each other and attach towards the T2i as one particular unit and that in addition to the T2i can mount a tripod as one unit.
The kit is for the T2i since the camera plate on the kit is T2i-specific. As well as the kit's being "standard" indicates that its focusing plate would be the regular version with four dovetail slots, as opposed towards the longer XL version with seven slots. The principle distinction between the two sorts is the fact that the longer one particular, jointly having a follow-focus wheel assembly, can support longer lens constructions. The focusing plate is also what the key components of the kit connect to.
One key portion is the focus wheel assembly, which slides into one particular of your 4 slots of your focusing plate, and which tightens into spot by method of a thumbscrew underneath the plate. The focus wheel itself is equipped using a soft, replaceable but difficult O-Ring that presses against a lens and adjusts focus once the wheel is turned. The assembly has no gearbox and no ring gears and so provides convenience in swapping lenses. Just like the assembly is tightened into spot on the focusing plate, it can be loosened to permit a lens swap. And the kit is compatible having a quite extended list of lenses (see specs) because the focus-wheel assembly can adjust along the focusing plate slots to most any lens. And for lenses that fall in-between the slots, the focusing plate slides for swift micro-adjustments.
And on the side on the bracket is attached a quick-release clamp that at the push of a knob accepts or releases any dovetailed adapter plate that conforms to Arca-Swiss dimensions. And furthermore, the accessory bracket itself has many mounting holes along it for the accessory mounts to become repositioned all through and for more ones, for instance iDC's mini-tilter, to become attached.
One more main a part of the kit may be the accessory mounting bracket, which also slides in to the focusing plate and which also tightens by thumbscrew, and to which attach several of the other components with the kit. A grip manage made of industrial plastic and fastened to a billet-aluminum tall cold shoe is attached using the shoe as 1 to the top rated in the accessory bracket and together they provide a manage plus a mount to get a shotgun mic or for a fill light or for other accessories. The shoe also characteristics a pin registration hole for Speedlites with locking pins. A handful of inches away from the take care of is attached a further cold shoe.
Together with the accessory bracket and also the wheel assembly joined towards the focusing plate, onto the best with the plate also fastens a T2i-specific camera plate; plus the camera plate is what attaches to the T2i, as a result attaching our whole kit with it towards the camera. And for the bottom with the focusing plate fastens a spacer, through which our kit could be mounted onto a tripod or monopod quick-release plate, and which provides one inch of space among the focusing and quick-release plates thus affording simple access towards the red thumbscrews underneath the focusing plate. The spacer also enables the kit to fluidly be moved along a quick-release plate to be positioned inside a way that greatest distributes the weight of each the kit and of an accompanying lens.
