This versatility ensures that the SmallRig Silicone Gear can be integrated into your existing setup without any issues.
Important Notices
1. It is important to note that the driving force generated by friction is limited and may not be suitable for use with focus gear rings. Using the silicone gear with a focus gear ring may result in slip, affecting the accuracy of your focus. Therefore, it is recommended to use the silicone gear with lenses that do not require a focus gear ring.
2. To ensure that the silicone gear does not slip during use, it is essential to ensure a tight fit between the silicone gear and the lens ring. This is particularly important when using large-damping zoom lenses that may require added stability. By ensuring a snug fit, you can eliminate any potential slippage issues and maintain precise focus control.
Limitations
While the SmallRig Silicone Gear offers a revolutionary approach to gear-driven focusing, it is important to note that it is incompatible with gears of other modules and tooth sizes. This means that the silicone gear can only be used with SLR/mirrorless lenses and cannot be used with cinema lenses. However, it is important to remember that the silicone gear is detachable, allowing for easy removal before using a cinema lens.
Conclusion
Overall, the SmallRig Silicone Gear for Follow Focus, Focus Ring for M0.8-43T Gear is a game-changer in the world of gear-driven focusing. Its unique design eliminates the need for traditional seamless gear rings and offers easy installation and compatibility with a wide range of lenses.
