Abstract
Advantageous collar grips are provided to secure a grip on a camera lens ring, such as the focusing, zooming, or aperture control rings. A collar grip of a pliable and stretchable material can be placed around the lens ring to allow improved manipulation and thereby more accurate manipulation of the lens. Extended surface features on the collar grip can secure it to the lens ring and ensure an accurate grasp. The collar grip also provides increased diameter to the focusing ring, which can further aid in more accurate focusing ability.
