15 mm Top lens mount adapter support
Lens mount adapters from other brands than Vocas, such as Metabones, sometimes require a support in order to avoid strain on the lens mount of the camera.
In these cases this Vocas 15 mm top lens mount adapter support (0360-0650) can be used. The Vocas top lens mount adapter support works with any lens mount adapter that has a ¼” connection underneath, and prevents damages to the lens mount of the camera, especially when using heavy lenses.
TIP!
Using the Vocas 15 mm top lens mount adapter support on the top rails gives you more freedom to find the ideal balance point when using base plates from the Vocas Sliding System.
Vocas MFC-6 follow focus system accessories
Vocas added to the MFC-6 follow focus system with its self-adjusting drive arm (!) a new studio knob (0500-1221). The new, much larger, knob makes the use of the MFC-6 system in combination with cine lenses easier. When using the new big MFC-2 / 6 studio knob it is sometimes necessary or more comfortable to place the studio knob further from the lens. In this case the knob extender (0500-1570) is a welcome new accessory.
