Sony follow focus gears

Sony mirrorless cameras are everywhere in run-and-gun video, and most Sony lenses use a focus-by-wire ring that has no hard stop. A gear on the ring still gives you a repeatable grip for a follow focus or motor, and many shooters add one to their G Master and FE zooms for gimbal work. We list gears for about forty Sony lenses, including Zeiss-branded ZA models for E-mount.

Typical ring sizes

The FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM uses 3.07โ€“3.15 in (78โ€“80 mm) on the focus ring and 2.95โ€“3.03 in (75โ€“77 mm) on the zoom ring. The FE 70-200mm f/4 G OSS is 3.07โ€“3.15 in (78โ€“80 mm) on both rings. Primes are smaller: the FE 85mm f/1.8 needs 2.95โ€“3.03 in (75โ€“77 mm), and the FE 35mm f/1.8 sits at 2.48โ€“2.56 in (63โ€“65 mm).

Good to know

  • Focus-by-wire rings have no mechanical stop, so calibrate your follow focus or motor once after fitting.
  • Power zoom lenses such as the E PZ 18-110mm f/4 G OSS have a dedicated zoom lever, so check whether a gear is listed for your model.
  • If your lens is not here, the gear for any lens covers 2.24 to 3.62 in (57 to 92 mm).

Mod 0.8 teeth mesh with standard follow focus units and wireless motors. Orders ship from Texas, normally arrive within 3โ€“5 days, ship free in the US from $60 and can be returned within 14 days.

How a follow focus gear works

A follow focus gear adds a toothed ring to the focus or zoom ring of your photo lens. A follow focus, wireless motor or lens servo can then turn the lens smoothly, the way you would on a cine lens.

  • Compatible with common follow focus systems and motors
