H&Y offers a whole new way to mount your lens filters, and run-and-gun shooters should get excited.
When it comes to mounting square filters on a lens, filmmakers have two options. Either you run rails and a matte box, or you use some gaff tape to “Hollywood” it on.
Photographers have screw-on filters as an option, but that has never really taken off in the film world. Even cinema lenses that have a consistent ring size usually don’t have filter rings. It’s just not how cinematographers work, and most don’t want to change. If it’s not broke, right?
This is what makes us interested in the H&Y RevoRing. It’s a new system for mounting square filters to lenses, and most importantly, it doesn’t require threading on the lens.
