Overview

The SmallRig 4296 Wireless Follow Focus Kit (Lite) pairs a compact handwheel controller with a variable-speed receiver motor to deliver precise, low-latency focus control for video production. With a peak torque of 4.3 kgf·cm — more than double the output of its predecessor — the motor can confidently drive heavier cinema zoom lenses from brands like ZEISS, DZOFilm, Canon, and Sony. The 35% improvement in response efficiency translates to smoother, more accurate focus pulls, which is critical when shooting with shallow depth of field on high-resolution cameras.

On the practical side, the handwheel's built-in 1400mAh battery and smart sleep technology deliver up to 21 hours of operation, effectively eliminating mid-shoot battery anxiety. The one-click A/B point marking lets operators set repeatable focus marks in seconds, and the onboard memory ensures those settings survive power interruptions. The receiver motor's wide 5V–18V input range and compatibility with PD and QC fast charging protocols mean it can draw power from a variety of on-rig sources. Color-coded LEDs make channel identification instant, and the overall design keeps the learning curve gentle enough for operators who are new to wireless focus systems.

Key Features

Widely Compatible Lenses: SmallRig Wireless Follow Focus Kit (Lite) 4296 is designed to provide a precise and low-latency focusing experience for video shooting. It is compatible with a wide range of cinema and zoom lenses with high damping, such as CP. 3 35mm for ZEISS, Arles 50 / 75mm F1.4 FF / VV for DZOFilm, CN-R35 T1.5 L F for Canon, FE C 16 - 35mm T3.1 G for Sony lens, etc

Peak Torque of 4.3 kgf.cm: The receiver motor adopts a variable speed gear set design, which can provide a high torque output of 4.3 kgf.cm. Compared with the previous generation product, the torque peak is increased by more than 2 times, and the response efficiency is increased by 35%, making it easy to drive the zoom lens

Up to 21H Battery Life: The handwheel is equipped with a built-in 1400mAh battery and adopts smart sleep tech for long-lasting power, which can provide about 21h of ultra long battery life. The Receiver Motor supports a wide voltage input range of 5V-18V, compatible with PD and QC fast charging protocols. Please use the provided power cord or a USB 3.0 cable to avoid insufficient torque issues

User-Friendly Design: The wireless follow focus kit uses two light colors, red and blue, to indicate the connection status and channel (blue light-F00-1; green light-F15-1), and provides intuitive operation instructions. The control is simple and efficient, making it easy for beginners to get started

One-Click Lens Calibration: The Handwheel supports one click A/B dotting, and you can adjust the appropriate A/B focal length according to your shooting needs. The kit features a memory storage function, eliminating the need to recalibrate lens travel and AB point settings in case of power loss, enhancing shooting efficiency
