Movo FR3 Adjustable Follow Focus Ring Set of 3 with 65mm, 75mm and 85mm Lens Gear Rings (Standard 32 Pitch - 0.8 mod)

Been using this for about a month now and i have no problems with it. They are very sturdy. It still made of plastic but a harder plastic. The teeth on the outside of the rings where the focus gear is mounted is really nicely shaped. I found them to work quite well with my follow focus that I have. Sometimes the follow focus does slip a little, but i found that that is due to the design of the follow focus i have and am using with this Movo Follow focus ring. The follow focus that I am using is the fifty dollar follow focus by hondo garage. It grips well but the mechanical wheel on the follow focus that grips the teeth on theses rings is a little narrow, which is why I suspect that it slips just a little if i am not careful. Again not a flaw with these focus rings, rather the design of the fifity dollar follow focus from hondo garage. Also the only thing is I wish instead of a three pack of different sizes, they could sell different packs of the same size as most of my lens are the same diameter. But besides that it works as advertised!

I am loving this product! I’ve been running the Tilta Nucleus Nano on my Ronin -S using the adjustable focus ring that came with it, but having the extra 5” flap of focus ring hanging out was a real pain. It would affect the balance of the ronin at times as it would just flop around. I ordered these and it has done a couple things. Not only does it look much cleaner and more professional, it has a better grip between the focus motor and the lens. This kit brought various sizes that happened to fit all 7 of my lenses, so I can keep one attached on my main three lenses that I will use on a shoot and won’t have to worry about switching out the focus ring. The finish on these is great, looks like high quality plastic. I had some similar to this a few years ago but they were a different brand and not as well built.

I just got these in the mail a couple of hours ago, and I'm pleased with the quality and construction. As you may know Lens Gear rings provide a major step up in production when you don't have true cinema lenses in your arsenal. I have purchased the Neewer Adjustable Follow Focus Gear Ring Belt for DSLR Lenses/HDSLR Follow Focus, fits any lens with diameter from 65mm to 105mm before and they were able to make my follow focus work, but they leave all the extra gear ring "strap" hanging out and you have to tie or secure them to the ring which makes an oval / nautilus shaped gear ring. I will need them because there are some situations where this new set just won't work and you'll see why. I was ready to step up to this design but the cost has been prohibitive for a full set of 6-8 lenses until now. I took my chances on these as a new product and I'm happy I did. But there are some things to be aware of before you guy them. Here's the good and bad of it.PROS:Great Price: This is pretty obvious.Good Construction: I pulled and tugged and stretched on them and they hold up well.Simple packaging. A box with lenses in a plastic bag. No hassles and no "are these used goods" kind of red flags.Fits well with some lenses and standard follow focus gears: the mid-sized ring fits perfectly snug on L Series glass (17-40 Canon F4)It is snug and there's room for a larger lens but when tightened down flush like it shows in the photos these will fit perfectly on your L Series Glass. When using these on a non L series they are so snug and tight fitting that you can see them pull down on the camera / lens when you get to the end of the focus spin on a ring that doesn't spin on the lens after infinity or minimum focus distance. I take that as a sign that these are really holding on well to lenses with rubber focus rings.CONS:3 rings don't rule them all! These gear rings err on the side of too large instead of too small. They have these long screws and they don't use them at all. If you have any old school manual photo lenses the smalles ring just isn't "small enough." I think they should have made the smallest gear have even longer inside "brackets" to hold onto smaller lenses. If you have anything smaller than a true 58mm focus ring, then you are not going to be able to use these without adding something to your lens to increase it's circumference.The largest ring is so large that it would probably take a 70-200mm L series lens or something even bigger. And those lenses are rarely used in video production because of their cost and focal lengths they are pretty impractical options; of course gear rings are made for shooting video. I think they should have reconsidered how they size these and allow the long screw to work in your favor when you need them to fit on a larger piece of glass, instead of just having them need to be totally tightened down to be useful.I think 2 of these will be useful for adding a gear to most common photo lenses. The most useful one will be the mid sized ring or the smaller ring big the big ring is just too big.CONCLUSION: So I would say you MUST MEASURE YOUR FOCUS RINGS FIRST, before buying these. You can use those tape measures for sewing. If you find one without metric measurements just convert it using google. Even if you just wrap something (string, ribbon) around your lenses/focus rings then lay the string out and measure it with a ruler it's better than nothing. Then you will have a good idea of how useful these would be for mod-ing your glass.REAL WORLD SPECS:1. Small Ring: You NEED to be a minimum of about 65-mm for the smallest ring to fit properly for a production as is. Any lens with a ring smaller than 63mm will probably need gaff tape or something on it to get the circumference wide enough to use the small gear in this set during production.2. Middle Ring: As stated the mid-sized gear fits perfectly on an L series with front filter screw that is 77mm. The smallest focus ring that the mid sized gear will work on is about 74-75mm in this set. That's what I put it on and it is nearly flush on both ends of the gear ring when tightened down on this lens. It could go a little tighter if your lens is a little smaller. But there's not much room to spare.3. Big Ring: You need a focus ring with a minimum of 82-85 mm on your lens for the largest gear in this set to hold tightly enough to work properly.I double checked these numbers using a set of step up rings ranging from 49mm to 82mm. But be aware, if you don't have solid rubber or plastic ridges on your lens' focus ring then you will need these to be very tight because there's no rubber or ridges on the feet of the gear brackets where they contact the lens.LARGE LENSES:I tested the smallest gear ring to see how much more size you get with the screw loosened all the way. A 72mm ring fits inside at full extension but it is too loose for operation. I think you need a ring that is about 74-75mm to operate it properly. So the small ring has a range of 65mm - approx. 74.5 mm. Since all of these have the same screw you can basically add about 9 or 10mm to the minimum sizes stated above and then you have the maximum size for each ring in the set as is out of the box. You could always go to a hardware store and ger a longer screw if you need a few more mm of extension but at some point you would not be able to fit around the lens at all since a screw is straight.Room for improvement:Rubberized fittings or ridges to hold onto the lens a little more securely.It would be great if you could choose which sizes you wanted in your setIf the small ring was small enough for small 55mm lenses that would be helpful for a lot of peopleMaybe a longer screw to compensate for smaller lens brackets would be more universal/useful for the market searching for this product.If these improvements were made THEN this would be a 5star offering.I hope this is a helpful review. Thanks for reading to the bitter and informative end! Now get out there and shoot something .... something good!

You can definitely tell that the quality in the building materials is very high. Are used a follow focus adapter that was kind of like a stretchy material that wraps around like a rubber band and decided to try to upgrade to something a little bit more firm.

These Movo rings are awesome. My last adapter would skip and these are built solid and are very easy to put onto the lens and if you clamp them down it feels very very solid on the lens. Don’t hesitate to pick these up they’re fantastic.

Works well w/ canon lenses. For some (ie 50mm 1.8) you need to put a rubber band around the focus ring, then put on the FF ring to create space, but small price to pay for a cheap cine-lens equivalent!

I really wanted to like the Movo FR3 follow focus rings. They came nicely packaged, the price is very reasonable, the plastic build seems to work well with my lenses (mostly the the smaller two rings, the larger one is pretty useless due to how big it is -- you'll need an enormous lens to ever have any use for it). But my main problem with these is that the screws are very poorly made and came bent. All there screws which you use to adjust the rings to fit your lens were warped and just very thin, and cheaply made.

These follow focus adapters are well built, they’re at study, and combined with my follow focus wheel they seemed to make a winning combo. The main issue with me was the sizing. The adapters are simply way too big for most DSLR prime lenses. If your lenses are on the bigger side these should work great though. Hopefully they’ll release a smaller version soon.
