Overview

The Tilta Universal Focus Gear Ring (TA-UFGR-R) is a practical accessory for videographers and filmmakers who want to use a wireless or mechanical follow focus system with lenses that don't have a built-in gear ring. Rather than purchasing lens-specific gear rings for every lens in a kit, this universal ring uses an adjustable clasp that wraps securely around the lens barrel, making it compatible with a broad range of lens diameters and brands.

Constructed with a standard 0.8 mod gear pitch, the ring works seamlessly with most follow focus motors and mechanical units available today, including Tilta's own Nucleus series. The textured grip surface allows for comfortable manual focus pulling when a motorized system isn't in use. Its quiet rotation ensures it won't introduce mechanical noise during takes. Finished in red, it adds a distinctive look to any rig while also making it easy to spot and identify during setup and lens changes.
