My experience with Travis was excellent. When he was not available the service was an issue. He was out sick and I called three times to have a quote updated and was not able to talk to anyone. When Travis returned to work he took care of the issues and the order was completed.
Why Filmtools?
Filmtools works with Affirm which is one of the finance companies we use for gear.

Absolutely love visiting the Filmtools store when I'm down in Burbank.
Their website is pretty good, though I wish they had more photos of the products from different angles and in situations where the products are actually used.
The purchasing process is easy enough, and I definitely check out their products and availability when I need any kind of grip gear.
Product Choice
I chose the mini-Mathellini clamps because Filmtools was offering a "2 for 1" deal.
Why Filmtools?
Great selection of grip gear, from really small items and consumables, to larger gear (like their Junior Carts).

The key word in describing these mini Cardeliini clamps is "mini". They are useful for small, light-weight clamping jobs, but have several drawbacks. The biggest drawback is the diameter of the pin - it's only 0.37" (9.5mm), so attaching a fixture with a standard 5/8" socket, is a kludge at best. But it does have a 1/4"-20 threaded hole in the end of the pin, which increases the number of uses it might have. It's also worth noting that the largest opening of the jaws in 2", which is large enough for most small clamping needs. Unlike the larger Cardellini clamps, the moveable jaw rotates, which can make clamping with one hand, more awkward - though not impossible. On the plus side, they seem solidly built and are 'mini enough' to easily store in your tool box or grip bag. Overall the Film tools "2 for 1" deal on these clamps was a good buy.

Fast delivery to Australia, and exceptionally easy to deal with. Many other US-based companies are hard to purchase from overseas, but Filmtools is quick and easy with great prices. Bravo. I'll definitely be back.
Why Filmtools?
Web search showed they had the product in stock, at a good price, and could deliver to Australia.

Lightweight and surprisingly sturdy. Using to hold a microphone boom, and I trust it above VIP talent for up to 2 metre booms. Much lighter for than a solid metal grip head, so it's great for travel

I had a small issue with their website. When I contacted them about it they responded immediately, and were very helpful and courteous. I'm very pleased with the resolution, and with their fast and friendly service.
Product Choice
I've always used Verbatim media because I've found them to be of the highest quality, and their DataLifePlus line because I want my data to be secure for a long period of time. I also don't need printable discs, so I prefer the shiny surface ones.
Why Filmtools?
When I searched for a specific item I hadn't had success finding, Filmtools had exactly what I needed at a reasonable price.

I was extremely happy to find these Verbatim DataLifePlus Shiny Silver DVDs were available from Filmtools! I've used them for years, but when I tried to reorder them from 3 different sellers last year I was told they were unavailable. It was a great relief when my order from Filmtools was confirmed, and when it promptly arrived.

Can Do For You
Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
