Summary
RingThing released an iPhone app that generates printable focus, iris and zoom labels for ARRI Hi-5, WCU-4 and Tilta Nucleus-M II hand units, replacing manual ring marking during camera prep.
The app uses stored or imported LDA calibration files to build precise labels, lets users sort lens data and share files by QR code, and offers customizable designs for readability, camera ID or branding.
Basic features are free on the App Store, while a €22.99 Pro tier unlocks tools such as importing ARRI .rng files and converting ARRI LDA files for Tilta compatibility.
Users still need to print, cut and apply the labels—ideally on laminated vinyl with a Cricut-style cutter—using 3D-printable jigs for alignment.
RingThing is currently iOS-only; support for cmotion, Preston and Teradek systems is in development, while an Android version depends on the app's uptake.
