I am taking a couple of days off this week, but before I do, I wanted to go through the accessories that come with the ARRI BL 4S camera I began repairing last week. The first thing I looked at was the follow focus unit, which would not \u2026 follow focus? What I discovered was that it had been left somewhere that it had been exposed to moisture, and while it wasn\u2019t frozen up, it was very, very stiff. I didn\u2019t realize how many parts there were in an ARRI Follow Focus 2 until I took this one apart, but it\u2019s a whole lot of bits and pieces! I took the whole thing apart, cleaned all the pieces, replaced the belt, re-lubricated everything, and put it all back together so it would follow focus once again. Success!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
