The term "Film Tools" was first used by Ron Coons in the early 1990's and later merged into the unique word "Filmtools" and first used in commerce by Ron in 1994 when he changed the name of his company from Camware to Filmtools. In 2000, Stan McClain, Inc bought all the rights to the term Film Tools and trade name Filmtools. The word Filmtools. is now a Registered U.S. Service Mark of Stan McClain Inc.

Filmtools has been online since 1994 and we're the Web's only store dedicated to supporting the Motion Picture Camera Department. Our mission is to supply you with unequaled service and product selection. For those of you in the L.A. area, come on by our retail store- we'd like to meet you. If you're working on a project locally, you can send a runner for immediate pick-up, or we can make emergency deliveries, including over-the-counter freight for most major airlines at BUR or LAX. We signed on with Yahoo!Shopping in April 2000 and our customers have bestowed us a  5 Star Rating since day one. Yahoo's  unparallel and secure shopping cart is the most successful of its kind- a perfect match to our  business profile.

History: Stan and Kim McClain, the owners of Filmtools founded Pasadena Camera Systems in 1985 with Dan Wolfe. PCS was the first U.S. based Wescam Agency and also rented motion picture and still camera equipment. The company was sold and now operates as Samy's Camera Pasadena.

With the proceeds from Pasadena Camera, the McClains founded and opened Expendables Online in June 2000. One month after opening, they bought a small, six year-old, one-person, home-based business in Nashville called Filmtools.com, which had an established online presence and condensed the two entities into Filmtools.

Since 1982 Stan McClain has also been a D.P. and has worked on over 50 motion pictures, mostly as an aerial cinematographer. Stan retired from working in the air in 2003. Stan McClain was president of the Society of Operating Cameramen 1997-1999 and received the 1999 Dedicated Service Award.
