band.it
band.it™, is a novel accessory for photo camera lenses that took the photography market by storm in 2015. After extensive research and evaluation, RDM developed and patented a universal solution that fits on any camera lens enhancing control and providing added protection to their expensive equipment. By leveraging our design expertise and in-house production capabilities, we developed a custom silicone injection molding process that saved over $100,000 in tooling costs. We used our product, manufacturing, fulfillment, and marketing solutions to commercialize band.it™ in record time.
