Camera Gear

Twitt

Constantly dealing with camera gear and constantly being disappointed with tools out there, we decided to design our own. Check out some simple tools but essential for every kit that we’ve designed, based on our daily needs.

***Shipping is $5 to US via USPS Priority Mail. $35 for International Express***

Half Inch Rails has chosen Wide Open Camera as the exclusive U.S. distributor of their new line of very inexpensive lens gears. We will be selling them in sets of three S,M,L one of each size for $45. We now offer single sizes in sets of three. We also offer single lens gears in each size. The lens gears attach to the lens with zip ties. We have added a metric chart and a sample lens chart for your convenience. The WOC one size will easily work on most AF lenses as they have a very short throw. We have added individual sets of each size in the “Size Options” menu above the cart button for your convenience. Zip ties are included.

    do you guys do express shipping within the us?

  • Paul Golden

    Can you guys list out the exterior circumferences (or lengths ) for each of the sizes of the HIR lens gears?  SML is not very informative.  

  • Planetearth

    How do you get information here. Don’t know how to size for my lenses without any details on the product. No contact number either. Little hard to order these if you don’t know what is right for your lens. 

  • marcjef

    Is there a way to get expedited shipping on lens gears?
    I have a shoot this week (Tues- it’s Saturday now).
    I cannot find any contact info for the estore.
    Thanks,

    Well, seeing as how you posted this a month ago…
    I guess I shouldn’t hold my breath on getting a response.
    I ordered the basic set to test out. They are good but took
    over a week to receive. At $18 a pop, you guys should be a little
    more responsive.

  • marcjef

    Amazon is same price individually, but no 3 for $45 deals.
    Also no way to tell what shipping options are there either.

  • marcjef

    An Amazon checkout test says the only option is 3-5 days at
    $4.50 to ship one gear.

    Sorry that we missed this. We can ship via paypal purchase on our site. Filmtools also has them if you need expidated shipping.
    Thanks!

  • adi

    Lens Gears arrived today. Real quick delivery to Switzerland. The One Size Fits all really fit on my lenses. So I can change real quick fm FollowFocus Mode to Freehand. Chapeau!

  • marcjef

    how about in LA? is there a local retailer?

  • http://twitter.com/jdwiden Jeremy Widen

    Agreed. I got a set of these, and they really help. I also got the red ones, so it’s really easy to tell my lenses from others when I work on multicam sets.

  • Goforjared

    Filmtools and Birns and Sawyer.
    Thanks

    I’d like to get some lens gears before next weekend. Is there a retailer in Austin Texas?

  • Terry

    I have several of these gear rings in red but I I need a slightly narrower gear for one of my lenses. Does the med+ come in red?

  • Goforjared

    no only the WOC gear is red. Sorry about that. 
    Thanks,
    Jared

    WOC, Y U NO SHIP INTERNATIONALLY?! :(

  • Derick

    Did you guys take the sizing chart for the lens gears off your website? I can’t seem to find it anywhere. What size lens gear would you recommend for the Canon 50mm f1.4 or f1.8? How does shipping normally take? Thanks!

  • Tim

    I was looking for a gear system that was low-profile so the lenses would still fit into my travel case.  I’m glad I found your company and the Zip Tie Focus Gears.  I wanted to add my three lenses to the list:
    Nikon 17-55 f/2.8 – M+ Lens Gear
    Nikon 28-70 f/2.8 – WOC Adjustable Lens Gear (just snip off the last 3 teeth)
    Nikon 80-200 f/2.8 - WOC Adjustable Lens Gear (just snip off the last 3 teeth)
    And thanks for your super-quick delivery too.

    Any kind of deal if I am buying a 3 pack of the adjustable lens gears, an ND fader and Polarizing fader?

  • Bob

    Hi guys…i have a Zeiss ZF.2 lens set (25,35,50,85 – 25/35/50 are 58mm and 85 is 72mm diameter) and i want to know which ones to purchase. I want the wider lens gear as possible, not the thinner.  Can i fit the wider in my 58mm diameter lenses? Is that an option, the ”one size fits all zip gear”? Is this possible to fit also? thanks

  • Leonpierri

    anyone to answer the question? I want to know about it also..

  • Familyaffairdenver

    I ordered the wrong size, can I exchange for the right one if I pay for shipping back to you?

  • Goforjared

    Yes. It will work on that lens. Sorry for the late reply.
    Thanks

     Hey, I just bought several Medium + gears and some bonehead put Large gears in the packaging instead. They don’t fit and now I have to waste a day braving LA traffic for 3 hours to return them to Film Tools.

    Not too happy about that…

    Both packages were mislabeled, these are 10.04″. You might want to check inventory to prevent other people from having their day ruined as well…

    I bought one Universal as well but it’s too wide to work on all but one of my lenses.

  • Stamm

    i am looking for the same question answered.  i Ordered the wrong size, i did not notice the additional information tab. can I exchange for the right one if I pay for shipping back to you?

  • Allprohd

    Bought them at BH and really like them! Got the wide ones and they work perfect for all canon L zooms and primes and all Zeiss ZF primes. Nice product.

  • scott

    Do you have all the lens gear sizes in stock? Film Tools carries them but are out of some sizes and have waited weeks to get them from you. I’d order them here but if you don’t have in stock there’s no point. Is there an actual email contact for your company? Doesn’t seem to be one and most of the postings below have never been answered. Concerned. Thanks.

  • Josef Geiger

    What is the measurement of the size mini zip tie gear? Thanks! Josef

  • Gianmarco

    Hi I have a zeiss 100mm, I would like to know could work my lens size because it has a long run of focus. Thanks for the attention.

  • Black Tie productions

    This is the second time I tried to order the mini and they sent me a medium sized. If you don’t have the size then email me and tell me don’t just send me another size gear. WILL NOT BE COMING BACK.
