Edelkrone introduced four highly inventive new products this morning in Las Vegas to kick off their NAB 2016 showcase. They've announced The FocusONE follow focus, the JibPLUS jib add on, the RigONE rig solution, and a one of a kind new tripod they call the StandPLUS.
The FocusONE
The Edelkrone Focus One
The FocusONE plays successor to the popular FocusONE PRO follow focus system which Edelkrone discontinued. Edelkrone’s updated version is similarly based on a proprietary marker-free setup where the marking disk faces the operator. This has proven a more convenient set up for whomever's behind the camera, giving them further precision when pulling focus.
The FocusONE remains a single rod based unit that mounts the marking disk between the hand wheel and the drive gear. The design allows users to turn the hand wheel without causing any shake to your shot. You can pull focus from above or below the camera comfortably without the need for a focus whip.
This simplified version will be much cheaper than its predecessor at just $199 and is slated for release in May. Here are some of it's specifications:
- Size: (L x W x H) 4.8 x 3.7 x 2.9 in
- Weight: 0.8 lbs
- Optimized for: .8 mod lenses
- Rod clamp: 15 mm industry standard
- Materials: CNC machined aluminum with delrin components and stainless steel screws
The JibPLUS

The new Edelkrone JibPLUS is a nice new jib add-on for mini jibs. It automates target-following and automatically keeps the target you choose in focus. Here are a few of it's other key features:
- Can learn to 3 separate targets at a time.
- Allows auto focusing with any lens.
- Contains a sensor module, a 2-axis head and a controller.
- Optimized for light weight cameras and DSLRs.
