Ever since the British filmmaking manufacturer, Filmsticks, redefined the iconic clapper stick in 2019, the products have quickly grown to become the standard in clapper board design. Subsequently, loyal customer feedback has driven the development of this brand new accessories range that has been designed and film industry professionals in mind. This means they’ll also be great for photographers who are looking for solid, reliable accessories for their kit bags.

Filmsticks’ all-weather clapper sticks and acrylic slates come in various sizes, from the full-sized monsters that you’ll recognise from many a film set, right down to the nano-sticks that are perfect for bloggers and smartphone filmmakers. They’ve been adopted by the global film community as the new industry standard and with the launch of the brand’s first accessories, we can see a growing pipeline of high-quality products that represent the rapidly expanding Filmsticks ecosystem.

These new accessories from the film heavyweights come in the form of Transparent Cases, Refillable non-permanent Marker Pens, Multi-Purpose Cleaning Cloths, Heavy-Duty Cable Straps, Colour-Coded Hex Keys and Hook & Loop Cable Ties.

Filmsticks Trio of Transparent Cases

This brand new set of three Filmsticks Transparent Cases have been meticulously designed to offer the ultimate in quality, durability and practicality. Ideal for a broad range of applications, (stowing cables, tools, make-up supplies, filters, etc), they are available in three convenient sizes: large, medium and small. 

The outer casing is uniquely transparent and manufactured in high-quality Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU), which gives enhanced elasticity and greater resistance to oil and grease while providing greater durability to scuffs.  

The transparent top and bottom panel design of the cases allows users to locate items quickly, without the need to open the case, saving precious and potentially frustrating time when on a critical shoot. Accessing equipment is extremely simple with the case opening, and staying open, to a complete 180-degrees, allowing for easy access and organisation of contents.

The tough main body panels are produced of flexible EVA [Ethylene Vinyl Acetate] with coloured nylon mesh and matching zippers. With five different colours available in each size, users can easily identify types of equipment by colour coding and simple labelling on the outside of each case.

Available as a set of three in Black, Blue and Red, with Yellow and Green completing the range shortly after launch for personalisation for your own workflow.

• Small Case 170 x 50 x 135mm 
• Medium Case 210 x 50 x 145mm
• Large Case 250 x 50 x 160mm

Filmsticks Refillable, Reusable Non-Permanent Marker Pen

The new Filmsticks Refillable and Reusable Multi-Purpose Non-Permanent Marker Pen is the logical addition to the Filmsticks range. Perfect for use on Filmsticks clapper boards, whiteboards, or even in the classroom.

The Filmsticks ‘pen for life’ comes complete with its own high-capacity Refillable Valve System. This allows quick and easy replacements using Filmsticks’ ink cartridges and the new, environmentally-friendly marker pens push their eco-credentials and longevity even further with the ability to switch between chisel and round nibs. This gives an unusual level of versatility with the ability to completely replace worn nibs – removing unnecessary waste.

Filmsticks Multi-Purpose Cloth

When is a cloth not a cloth? When it’s a Filmsticks multi-purpose cleaning cloth, of course!

This new accessory from Filmsticks comes in two handy variations. The large 25cm x 25cm, [9.8in. x 9.8in.] flat cloth can be used for slate cleaning, whiteboards and any other situations where our non-permanent ink has been applied. 

It is, however, perfectly safe and soft and can also be used to clean lenses, glasses, screens and any other precious glass items.

The ‘Strip’ version of the Filmsticks cloth comes in packs of five and has been specifically designed to wrap around the end of the Filmsticks Refillable and Reusable Multi-Purpose Non-Permanent Marker Pen. Its 10cm x 10cm, [3.9in. x 3.9in.] size is perfectly measured to fit and has a strong adhesive strip to allow for simple application.
