Hi guys!

What kind/brand of lens gear ring are you using on the HPX-170?
I own a Petroff Mini Follow Focus which I used on a HVX200 with Zacuto's Repeatable Focus Ring with Stop.

I would like to use it with the HPX-170.

Thanks!

Thank you wgzn, but what exactly is a friction wheel? Is there a website or link you could point me to?

Thanks again!

what it is is a non-geared, sort of rubber/foam ring that will turn a focus ring via grip/friction instead of gears. hence the name.

my indifocus came with one in addition to all the geared bits. their website doesnt show one. but many follow focus systems include one
