Mounting an MDR2 follow focus unit to an MK-V J Box
15 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The MK-V J Box has pre-tapped screw holes on each side that can be used for mounting accessories.
- A V3 focus mount is available from the manufacturer in V2/Evo size and uses the pre-tapped holes on the J Box.
- An H-shaped bracket from a follow focus manufacturer can be attached to the MDR2 unit, then connected to the focus mount before fitting the assembly to the J Box.
- An alternative bar mount adapter exists that spaces the H-bracket correctly for mounting to 15mm bars on certain top stages.
Depends on
- The information is specific to MK-V equipment with J Box configuration.
- No off-the-shelf solution was confirmed as readily available at the time of discussion.
- The exact manufacturer and part numbers for all components are not fully detailed.
