$45 Lens/Focus Shifter - Kickstarter Campaign

I have just come across a fantastic campaign on Kickstarter for a low budget 'follow focus' type product which attaches to lenses with circumferences from 176mm to 308mm, or lenses like the 50mm f/1.8 to the larger zoom lenses. The great thing about this product is that it attaches to these lenses without the need of rails, with the simple attachment mechanism it simply slides onto any size lens, making it a very flexible, low priced and innovative product. From the time of writing this blog, you only have to invest $45 to their Kickstarter campaign to receive the focus/lens shifter and the marker board with dry erase pen. Using this product will definitely improve focusing skills for photography and cinematography, as critical focus points can be pre-focused and marked with the marker pen to ensure the focus puller/ camera operator reaches those critical focus points during filming or taking photos. If this is still out of reach for your budget, why not check my post out about the 99p follow focus?
