Behind the lens, your work is your art. Focus pulls executed with precision add elegance, creativity, and professionalism to your film and video projects. FocusShifter adds new dimension to your videography by creating beautiful, ultra-smooth focus pulls.
FocusShifter is a follow focus that fits any DSLR camera lens. No extra equipment is required.
FocusShifter is perfect for filmmakers, photographers, students, and anyone wanting to step up their production capabilities and add professionalism without adding expense.
The original FocusShifter and the counterweight upgrade were both successfully funded on Kickstarter. Today there are thousands of FocusShifters in use all over the world.

At Engineerable, we are always looking for ways to improve the quality and features of our products. After the first Kickstarter campaign, we added a dedicated FocusShifter pouch to better transport the FocusShifter set. Through our own use of the product, we discovered that new features would significantly improve the pouch's performance. No commercially available options met our standards of functionality, quality, and appearance. So we designed our own.
The new pouches are made from neoprene, the hi-tech fabric used in wetsuits and electrical insulation. Neoprene’s outer layer looks great, and its foam core provides an extra layer of protection for your FocusShifter set (and the gear around it).
The zippers and stitching meet our demanding specifications. The aluminum carabiner provides a strong, lightweight attachment point for securing onto equipment bags or belt loops.
After receiving great feedback from the small test batch of the new pouches, we decided to launch a new Kickstarter campaign. Your pre-order funding will help us purchase a larger quantity of these custom-made pouches while maintaining our high standards of quality.
FocusShifter is perfect for DIY filmmakers and run-and-gun videographers. The new pouches help you keep your FocusShifter set in one place while on the go!
Let your creativity soar! Have some fun with your FocusShifter!

Filmmakers who use FocusShifter
Dustin Blake from IndyProductions
FocusShifter is compatible with most DSLR, Micro 4/3, and other interchangeable camera lenses with a focus ring outer diameter between 56 and 98mm.
View the instruction manual here.
FocusShifter works best with prime lenses (no zoom). FocusShifter will also work with zoom lenses, but may be more difficult to use due to a lack of space between the focus and zoom rings. The marker board must be securely attached to at least 0.5in (12mm) of non-rotating space on the lens body.

Engineerable’s team has been hard at work to make the FocusShifter the best fast-setup follow focus tool available. FocusShifter has been helping indie filmmakers and photographers enhance their projects since 2012.
Thanks to Jennifer Cannon for editing the videos. Thanks to our friend Derek King at Rock and Egg Productions for the awesome animation. Thanks to Diego Kirsch, David Amis, Jacob Snowden, Helton da Silva, Mark McJunkin, Cobra Navarre-Jones, Ezra and Tiggy for their support of FocusShifter.
Risiken und Herausforderungen
FocusShifter sets are already in production and are shipping worldwide, and we are standing by to place a large order for the custom-made, dedicated FocusShifer pouches. Engineerable has already created and delivered upon 3 KickStarter projects. We have a record of delivering quality products.
The custom-made FocusShifter pouch will be the only new production part. The $5,000 goal will help cover the cost of placing a large order of the custom pouches, which is needed to make the switch to using these pouches sustainable. We want to make sure that there's enough interest in these pouches before committing to this additional cost.
Production delays that are out of our control happen, which is why we've given plenty of time to deliver the product. If the goal is met earlier than the deadline, we may ship it to you well before the delivery date.
