DIY Follow Focus for your HD-DSLR

Shooting video with a DSLR camera is the next big thing for photographers. However, one needs to prepare lots of stuff before starting to shoot video with a HD-DSLR. The follow focus is the basic thing you must have and here’s how to get one for only $10 RMB (about $2).

This Chinese guy got a multi-opener from the supermarket and treat it as a follow focus for his Canon 5D Mark II. It works and cost only $10 RMB, very affordable for any cinematographers. [DCHome]

I’m sure you can also get one at your location.
