Tilta TA-FGR 0.8 MOD Lens Focus Gear Ring (78-80mm)

The Tilta TA-FGR 0.8 MOD Lens Focus Gear Ring bridges the gap between still photography lenses and cinema production workflows. Most photo lenses lack the toothed gear rings found on dedicated cine lenses, making them incompatible with follow focus systems. This gear ring solves that problem by wrapping around the focus ring of a photo lens and providing a standard 0.8 MOD toothed surface that meshes with manual and motorized follow focus units. The 78-80mm size fits lenses with barrel diameters in that range, and Tilta offers additional sizes to cover a wide variety of lens models across Sony, Canon, Nikon, Sigma, Fujifilm, Panasonic, Olympus, and Zeiss mounts.

The ring features a fully closed seamless design that distributes clamping pressure evenly around the lens barrel, preventing slippage and eliminating the dead spots that split-style gear rings can produce. Its flexible yet rugged material grips without scratching, and the 360-degree seamless rotation delivers smooth, precise focus action with no skipping. If the ring is wider than your lens's focus ring, it can be trimmed with scissors or a blade to match the exact width needed. This makes it a versatile and low-cost solution for cinematographers who regularly swap between different photo lenses on a cine rig.
