Follow-Focus Device and Camera Blimp for 16mm Professional Camera

Lee R. Richardson, William N. Gaisford

A novel system of lens focusing, coupled with a synchronized parallax correction cam and focusing viewfinder, is accomplished by the use of planetary gearing to the lenses which also permits fast shifting of lenses without disengaging any cams, gears or footage dials. A plastic camera blimp for the 16mm professional camera and follow-focus mechanism is introduced which reduces the noise level to permit professional sound cinematography.
