DESCRIPTION

Our Ultraviolet Filter cuts UV light to sharpen your photos and protect your lens against scratches, water, dirt, and fingerprints. Our CPL Polarizing Filter cuts reflected (polarized) light, which increases contrast and boosts colour saturation and vibrancy.

Our ND2–400 Variable ND Filter provides 1 to 8.66 f-stops of light reduction, giving you greater creative control in changing light outdoors. Slow your shutter for long exposure and motion blur effects, or open your aperture for depth of field effects. Cinematographers can use it to achieve more cinematic effects too.

For wide-angle lenses, we recommend our Variable ND2-32, ND8-128, ND64-1000 or fixed ND filters.

How to Use

The Explorer Filter Kit

1/6

Find your filter size
Inquisitively search lens for diameter symbol. Ø often marks the spot. The diameter you seek may be accompanied by a number – Ø58 or Ø58mm. Look to the side and the front – this precious number is your filter size. Be warned: your lens focal length (e.g. 18-55mm) is not your filter size.
The Explorer Filter Kit

2/6

Place flat and screw clockwise
Gently behold lens in one hand and place flat on lens. Slowly screw clockwise until just firm. Do not over-tighten that which goes on must one day come off.
The Explorer Filter Kit

3/6

UV Shoot as usual
Our UV Filter doesnt affect exposure settings so you can boldly shoot wherever your heart desires knowing your photos will be sharper and your lens will be protected against the elements.
The Explorer Filter Kit

4/6

CPL Twist it until you see it
Tenderly rotate the outer rim of your CPL Filter and watch as the level of polarization and colour vibrancy changes.
The Explorer Filter Kit

5/6

ND2400 Slower shutters, wider apertures
To compensate for the 1 to 8.66 f-stop darkening of your image, slow your shutter speed for motion blur effects. Or, you can adjust for the darkening by opening up your aperture, which creates a shallower depth of field. You can also combine both exposure setting adjustments.
The Explorer Filter Kit

6/6

ND2400 Get more cinematic
Use our ND2400 to create more cinematic effects when filming. By blocking 1 to 8.66 f-stops of light, you can open your aperture for a shallower depth of field, creating stunning cinematic effects in different and changing light conditions.

Filter solutions

I had a problem.....

I use an 82mm lens on my camera.

I also like to use a mini matte box for outside video.

Most adjustable NDL filters do not fit inside the matte box on the pass through ring.

But........

These awesome adjustable NDL filters from URTH do....

And.....the CPL filter will go on as well and I can leave the very nice UV filter on to protect the lens!

If all that wasnt enough, the whole stack screw together and come with two screw on caps, one for either end to protect them whilst they are in your box or bag.

This whole kit is very well thought out, well designed and well built.

Well, well, finally a solution for photo and video warriors to take with them without having to take all the extra bags. You can stick this stack in your pocket.

A UV, CPL, an adjustable NDL with hard stops and protective screw on caps?

Sold.

To me, after looking for ages across every sales platform for a solution.

The one and only Exploret Filter kits, from URTH.

Oh, and they fit on the lens in the mini matte box pro (Smallrig version with an 82mm lens).

The images are tip top too.

Not a pixel peeper but my images are awesome, I hope yours will be too.

Finally the cost. Gotta say, for the money this kit is a steal.

So if you're in the market, this is a great solution to shooting out doors in daylight.

Try it. You can thank me later. 🙂
