Overview
The ARRI Focus Lever or Speed Crank is an L-shaped handle for fast focus pulls. Some people call this a speed handle or a focus crank or even a focusing crank. The function of this lever is to modify a follow focus unit to allow for focus cranking. It attaches to the follow focus' knob.
This particular Focus Lever with a round knob is compatible with ARRI's follow focus line: LFF-1, FF-3, FF-4, and FF5-HD. It was designed to suit small diameter lens barrels and the classic ARRI studio Follow Focus FF-4. Pair this lever with a variety of ARRI cine-style camera accessories.
ARRI constructed this Focus Lever with a longer arm to ensure the best gear positioning possible with HD lenses. It also features a lower gear ratio which is suited to smaller diameter lenses which may have compressed focus scales. It can also accommodate video zoom lenses.
You are given the option of a right or a left focus knob so you can access the lens on either camera side. The Left Focus Knob can be used on either camera left or camera right. If you prefer an even longer or extended knob for the right, see the optional 381442 which functions on either side of the lens.
