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 B+W 72mm XS-Pro UV Haze MRC-Nano 010M Filter is a general use, clear filter designed to absorb ultraviolet light and reduce the bluish cast of daylight. Aside from the reduction of unwanted blue casts, no additional coloration or contrast is created, and adjustments to exposure are not required while using this filter. To prevent internal ghosting and reflections while providing over 99.8% light transmission, each glass surface includes multiple layers of anti-reflection coating. This Multi-Resistant Coating (MRC) also offers greater protection to the filter substrate and helps it to stay clean for longer than with uncoated filters. The Nano coating associated with XS-Pro filters provides an additional eighth layer over the MRC, resulting in an improved beading effect when in contact with water for greater cleaning efficiency.

B+W filters are constructed from Schott glass for increased optical clarity and color fidelity. This filter features a thin brass filter ring to minimize the potential for vignetting while enhancing durability and jamming prevention. To further reduce the possibility of vignetting when this filter is in use, the filter ring's outside diameter is slightly larger than the actual thread size. This may prevent the use of some lens manufacturer bayonet hoods.

This UV Haze filter is also useful as a general protective filter to leave on lenses at all times. Such filters help to reduce dust and moisture from reaching your front lens element and provide additional protection in case of drops or situations where scratching could occur.

Shine a light while you shoot with the Godox A1 Wireless Flash for Smartphones. This compact flash unit can be used to illuminate smartphone photos or to wirelessly synchronize professional flash units using a smartphone with the free GodoxPhoto app. It features five power settings, from 1/1 to 1/16, enabling you to use up to 8W of power and produce an approximately 6000K flash.

The A1 operates on both the 2.4 GHz and 433 MHz wireless frequencies, with a variety of channels available for both master and slave functionality. Its 1000mAh battery recharges via the included USB Type-C cable and can produce up to 700 full-power flashes on a charge with a 2.5-second recycle time.

The black T-005X Aluminum Tripod with C-10S Ball Head from Sirui is a compact, lightweight, and stylish tripod with included head. With upward-folding legs, it collapses to just 12.2" with the head attached and weighs just 2.3 lb. Supporting loads up to 8.8 lb, this support is capable of holding DSLR cameras with lightweight lenses and is ideal for compact and mirrorless cameras and camcorders.

The T-005X features twist locks for easy setup and each leg has and automatic leg-angle lock mechanism for speed and convenience. A removable center column allows for table-top and low angle shooting as low as 4.1" with the ball head. When fully extended, the tripod reaches a maximum height of 54" with the head attached.

The C-10S is an extremely capable ball head, its separate knobs for pan and tilt adjustments enable the user to perform tasks such as panoramic photography while keeping the tilt locked. An Arca-type compatible quick release plate is included, as is a soft carrying case and a tool set.

The Manfrotto 494 Mini Ball Head w/RC2 QR Plate is a lightweight ball head that's perfect for smaller cameras (maximum load--8.82 lb). It's got a quick-release plate, a newly designed friction control knob that allows micro movements without engaging the head-locking mechanism, and a locking mechanism that will lock the head in both the +90 degrees /-90 degrees tilt position and the 360 degrees panning position.

Users should note that the single-lock design of the 494 releases both the 360 degrees pan and the ball at the exact same time. This design allows for free, fluid movement but does not allow for 360 degrees panning while the ball is set in a fixed position.

• For use with Instax square format instant cameras
• 10 exposures

A compact instant film camera, the smoky white instax mini from Fujifilm has been updated for selfie shooters and features a range of convenient controls for producing credit card sized prints. The sleek design incorporates a Fujinon 60mm f/12.7 lens, which offers a fixed focus from 2' to infinity, and a small selfie mirror is built into the front of the lens design for accurately composing self-portraits. Alternatively, a macro attachment lens is included to reduce the minimum focus distance for working with close-up subjects. For general shooting, the optical viewfinder is available and incorporates a central target spot to aid in composing images.

For controlling the look of imagery, the aperture setting can be changed in four steps, from f/12.7 to f/32, to suit various shooting conditions ranging from indoor lighting to bright sunlight. The dedicated hi key mode produces intentionally over exposed frames for a distinctly creative look. An automatic flash is built in to provide additional illumination when shooting in low light.
