SYSTEM ONE Follow Focus Kit Canon 5D MKIII No Grip - 1 Wheel
SYSTEM ONE
The SYSTEM ONE Follow Focus and Viewfinder Kit for the Canon EOS 5D Mark III without a Battery Grip - 1 Wheel is a gearless follow focus and support system. The gearless direct-drive focusing wheel is machined from industrial plastic bearing material, and has a soft high-tech O-ring for positive rubber-on-rubber operation. Each dedicated kit provides a custom fit via a dedicated, camera-specific camera plate; SYSTEM ONE can be used with other cameras as long as a dedicated Camera Plate is purchased for each additional camera.

Advantages
SYSTEM ONE delivers perfect primary balance, a very low center-of-gravity, great adjustability, and minimal mass. The UniRail is the foundational platform for SYSTEM ONE, and can be longitudinally positioned for the perfect balancing of any camera, lens, and accessory configuration without the need of an adapter plate. The UniRail's unique dovetail design is compatible for direct mounting into many popular tripod fluid heads (listed under the "Specifications" tab). All SYSTEM ONE UniRails also provide a centralized Quick Release Base Pad that offer both 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded bosses to fit any fluid head quick release plate. If you happen to use fluid head that is not directly mountable, we suggest using the Manfrotto 577 Rapid Connect Adapter (found under the "Accessories" tab) to fully benefit from the longitudinal positioning functionality. SYSTEM ONE can be mounted on most shoulder rigs, tripods and monopods. Additional UniRail lengths from 6" to 16" are also available for maximum flexibility (found under the "Accessories" tab).
This simple and elegant HD filmmaking platform can be easily upgraded with a wide variety of SYSTEM ONE Accessory Mounting Brackets to fit all your video and audio accessories.
Viewfinders
This SYSTEM ONE kit offers compatibility with the SYSTEM ZERO Viewfinder V1 (Not included). The SYSTEM ZERO Viewfinder V1 features a Hoodman HoodLoupe 3.0 which has been adapted by iDC. Our custom quick-release bracket makes it fast and easy to remove the loupe in order to use the camera's pentaprism viewfinder for still photography.
This SYSTEM ONE kit offers compatibility with the Zacuto Z-Finder via the Z-Finder Mounting Frame Z-MFS32.
Forward Compatibility
SYSTEM ONE offers excellent forward compatibility. When the time comes to upgrade your camera just the addition of a new camera specific, camera plate is needed to move this system forward. Made in the USA. Learn More About SYSTEM ONE »
