The Haida Multi-coating UV (PROII) Filter is a wise initial investment. Haida MC-UV PROII filters are excellent general purpose filters since they will not only protect your front element from airborne contaminants as well as fingerprints but also help you get better images at high altitude and while on the water.

Using this filter will diminish the bluish cast caused by the various atmospheric factors. It will not have an effect on the color balance of your shot. No increase in exposure is required.

A UV filter is the best available protection for the front element of your lens. A lens that accidentally gets dropped on its front element while hiking can potentially be saved by purchasing this item.

Aside from the more-than-significant benefit, MC-UV PROII filter render your photo clearer, sharper and more contrasts. For those who enjoy outdoor photography, especially distant vistas, a Haida PROII MC-UV filter can produce a more distinct and acceptable image by removing much of the blue tint normally associated with atmospheric haze.

The MVMXPROA4577US XPRO Video Monopod from Manfrotto is a 4-section aluminum video support equipped with Manfrotto's FLUIDTECH base and a 577 video adapter.

A versatile kit for nearly any videographer or filmmaker, the MVMXPROA4577US can often travel places tripods cannot, providing additional stability and supporting heavy equipment when required. The 4-section design, when paired with an aluminum construction, results in an easy to transport setup weighing just 3.1 lb. With a maximum height of 76.5" and a minimum height of just 27.5", the MVMXPROA4577US can be adjusted to suit users of varying heights and for various different tasks.

While the design of a monopod is relatively simple, the Manfrotto Monopod+ line utilizes some innovative features which make using the MVMXPROA4577US fast and easy. The primary feature of the line is the inclusion of Manfrotto's patented Power-Lock flip locks which snap open and closed to ensure fast operation and a tight, unyielding lock. The D-shaped leg sections have been designed not only to compliment the Power-Locks but also to prevent unwanted twisting between leg sections and increase the stability of the monopod. The integrated FLUIDTECH base utilizes a "3D" fluid cartridge which facilitates smooth pans and tilts from a single connection point. The cartridge may be locked vertically to isolate movement to only the 360° panning axis, allowing for smooth, level, uninterrupted rotation. While engaging the vertical lock may allow the monopod to stand, it does not support free-standing function and should not be left unattended when not in use.

The MVMXPROA4577US also includes a 577 video adapter which allows the user to balance their camera on top of the monopod via a sliding quick release plate. The adapter is a basic flat-mount, quick release clamp and does not move, tilt, or articulate in any way. A 501PL quick release plate is also included, allowing for quick mounting and dismounting of your camera or camcorder.

Additionally, the Monopod+ line also features Manfrotto's standard rubber leg warmer for an improved grip and an adjustable hand strap for extra security. A 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting thread is provided under the 577 adapter should the user choose to use the monopod without the head for direct camera mounting.

Athabasca NDX

NDX refers to adjustable ND, consisting of 2 pieces of opposed polarizer. When going through the first polarizer, light will go in through one certain direction; when light goes through the second polarizer, as the polarizing directions are different, light will be weakened. When the two polarizers are rotated in opposite directions, transmittance changes from high to low.

Main Functions:

NDX has infinite adjustment from ND2-ND400, with infinite light adjustment from 50%-0.25%.

Deficiency:

Due to the physical structure of NDX, opposed polarizers will cause the uneven light in the picture. Cross light would appear when density reaches 420 when NDX is applied to ordinary lens. So ND1000 is achieved theoretically but actually it can narrowly reach 400. Even the adjustment is limited to 400 on NDX, cross light is not completely avoided on all lens, since cross light appearance varies on different lens in different focal lengths.

The Sony HDR-CX405 HD Handycam features an Exmor R CMOS sensor and a wide-angle Carl Zeiss zoom lens with 30x optical zoom. The CX-405 captures Full HD 1920x1080 video at 60p and 9.2MP still images to optional Memory Stick Micro and Micro SD/SDHC/SDXC media cards. The Exmor R CMOS sensor is designed for increased sensitivity in low light situations and the Optical SteadyShot image stabilization with Intelligent Active Mode delivers smooth video. Users can monitor and playback footage via the 2.7" LCD display with 230K dot resolution.

The camera records using XAVC S codec at up to 50 Mb/s and features dual recording, which lets you simultaneously capture both high-quality AVCHD and web-optimized MP4 files. The Intelligent Auto mode analyzes your shot and automatically selects the appropriate settings from ten distinct scene modes, with 60 different possible combinations. A built-in USB 2.0 cable provides a connection to your computer for charging or file transfer and fits conveniently into the hand strap, so it's out of the way until you need it. The camera accepts a rechargeable X type battery pack for power.

The Fujifilm X-H1 is the company's flagship APS-C mirrorless camera. It features a 24.3MP APS-C sensor with an X-Trans color filter. In-body image stabilization can reduce shake by up to 5.5 stops and the X-H1 weather-sealed body features a bevy of controls and an LCD info display on its top plate. The X-H1 has a unique articulating 3" touchscreen LCD that can tilt up and down and out to the side (in one direction). Its electronic viewfinder is quite large and has a resolution of 3.69 million dots.

The camera can shoot continuously at up to 14 fps with the electronic shutter, 11 fps with the mechanical shutter and optional grip and 8 fps without the grip. It can capture both DCI and UHD 4K video at 24 and 30p, respectively. With the power battery grip, continuous 4K recording times can reach 30 minutes. It has a new EXTERNA Film Simulation Mode and also supports F-log gamma for easier video color grading. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
