FeiyuTech Follow Focus I is a great accessory to combine with FeiyuTech AK Series Gimbals. It connects to the gimbal and it can be controlled by the gimbal "magic ring" (multifunctional side knob). It allows for fine adjustments of the camera lens focus.Compatible gimbals: FY AK4000, FY AK2000.

Don't waste your money on this.  You're better off manual focusing by hand.  The thing is so bulky and takes forever to set up.  Once you spend hours getting it set up, when you use the knob to control the focus, the motor is so weak that even a 50mm 1.8 wasn't able to be focused at a reasonable speed.  It was so slow that I had to spin the knob on the ak2000 about 8times before getting the focus ring to move from infinity back to just about maybe 1/2 of the total focus range.

The tension on it is so loose that the gears slip all the time and it defeats the purpose of a smooth zoom for video.  I thought I could get away with putting a couple rubber bands on it to tighten the pressure the gear puts on the ring, but that worked well for a temporary period of time before the rubber bands decided to slip.

There's so many tiny parts to this that you can tell there was minimal effort in designing it.  I was also not able to use this because of how bulky the motor was that I had to invert it.  It did the trick, but as 'customizable' as it is advertised to be, it did not work well on the 6D with a 50mm 1.8 lens.  Tried it with a sigma art 1.4 and that lens was way too heavy for this motor.  Save your money and get a camera with auto focusing.

I would not recommend this product at all.

Garbage

The biggest waste of money ever.  The motor is so week it doesn't even move the lens at all.  And when it does, it's excruciatingly slow, defeats the purpose of it.  I'm better of using my hands.
