Perfect Solution!

This, in combination with the new Mous IntraLock iPhone mount, is working perfectly for mounting my iPhone inside the windshield of our Porsche for in-car video of the car on the race track. It’s strong, stable and repeatable with the suction plunger being a great confirmation on whether it’s lots any suction.

Rick N - 02/15/2023

Exactly as advertised

This is exactly what I wanted. A big book full of the samples from Lee. The price was a little higher than I wanted, but I had such trouble trying to find this that I didn't care anymore and just paid it.

Product Choice

It was what I wanted. I don't need an entire gel sheet, I just needed the swatches.

Last to leave set

I had my eye on the Matthews Monitor Stand II. On set, I am the last to leave but our grips are the first to wrap out a set. I want to be able to wrap gear in my time frame. It is a joy to have a monitor that glides and functional.

I get about 2hrs with this battery on my Komodo. I bought 6 and they last me all day. Good buy even though they don't give the battery level on the komodo.

Why Filmtools?

Only because they had the Hedbox batteries and I thought by paying for next day I'd get them the next day. Amazon also has these particular batteries so I'll be ordering them from them next time.

Product Choice

Needed batteries for my RED Komodo.

I ordered next day shipping via FedEx - unbeknownst to me, and unlike B&H, Adorama etc... "next day" at Film Tools is "next business day" even though it doesn't say that anywhere when ordering and even on my checkout receipt. I ordered on a Friday and didn't get the batteries until Monday afternoon. I paid extra for "next day" shipping only to receive them 3 days later, AFTER I'd left to shoot out of town. Customer service was responsive in my questions until I asked them to refund me the extra I'd paid for "next day" delivery instead of regular and then the customer service agent never replied. I will not be purchasing anything from FilmTools.com again. B&H and Adorama have TRUE next day shipping and I've never been ghosted by a customer service agent at either of them.


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.
