The VariZoom VZFCF22 is a professional focus remote control for precise manual focus adjustment of selected Fujinon lenses in the 1/3-inch range. It enables exact focus control directly from the tripod handle and is particularly suited for studio, broadcast, and ENG applications.
The follow focus system supports smooth and controlled focus movement. This allows focus pulls to be executed cleanly without having to work directly on the lens.
The VZFCF22 operates with an angle gearbox that is mounted directly on the optic. The control movement is transmitted from the handle to the focus ring via a robust steel shaft.
- Direct mechanical focus transmission via shaft drive
- Precision gearbox for exact focus adjustment
- Smooth and reproducible focus movements
- Suitable for controlled focus pulls
- Operation directly from the tripod handle
The VariZoom VZFCF22 is attached to the tripod handle via an adjustable clamp. This allows the handle to be aligned to suit the respective camera position and working style.

Questions & Answers▲
What type of focus control does the VariZoom VZFCF22 provide?
The VZFCF22 provides fully mechanical focus control. It uses an angle gearbox mounted directly on the lens and transmits focus movement to the lens focus ring via a steel shaft drive, with no electronic components involved.
Which camera lens format is the VZFCF22 designed for?
It is designed for Fujinon lenses in the 1/3-inch broadcast format. Compatibility is limited to specific models within that range, so it is not a universal follow focus system.
Which specific Fujinon lenses are confirmed to be compatible?
Confirmed compatible lenses include the Fujinon S14x7.3, A12x6.8, S12x5, S16x7.3, and Th16x5.5. The Fujinon Th16x5.5 is also noted as the kit lens used with the JVC HD100U. Always verify compatibility with your specific lens before purchasing.
Where is the VZFCF22 mounted during operation?
It attaches to the tripod handle via an adjustable clamp. This allows the operator to control focus directly from the handle without reaching for the lens itself, which is particularly useful in broadcast and ENG situations.
Can the clamp position be adjusted to suit different working styles?
Yes, the clamp that secures the unit to the tripod handle is adjustable. This allows the operator to align the control to match their preferred camera position and grip style.
Is the VZFCF22 suitable for performing focus pulls?
Yes, the mechanical gearbox and shaft drive are designed to allow smooth, controlled focus movements. This makes it practical for executing clean focus pulls without touching the lens directly.
Does the system require a power source or battery?
No. The VZFCF22 operates entirely through mechanical transmission. There are no motors, electronics, or batteries required for its operation.
Can the VZFCF22 be combined with a zoom control?
Yes, it can be combined with compatible VariZoom zoom controls. This makes it possible to build a more complete camera control setup covering both focus and zoom from the tripod handle.
Is this product suitable for studio use as well as field production?
Yes, the VZFCF22 is suited for studio, broadcast, and ENG applications. Its robust mechanical construction is designed for professional continuous use in various production environments.
How is focus movement transmitted from the handle to the lens?
A steel shaft connects the tripod handle control to an angle gearbox that sits on the lens. Rotating the control at the handle transmits the movement mechanically through the shaft and gearbox directly to the focus ring of the lens.
Is the VZFCF22 compatible with all Fujinon lenses?
No, compatibility is limited to certain Fujinon lenses in the 1/3-inch range. It is not compatible with all Fujinon lenses. It is strongly recommended to check whether your specific lens model is supported before purchasing.
What is the main advantage of using a mechanical follow focus system over direct lens operation?
A mechanical follow focus system allows the operator to adjust focus from the tripod handle without touching the lens barrel. This reduces camera shake during focus adjustments and enables more precise, repeatable focus movements, which is especially beneficial during live or recorded broadcast production.
