Alex Armitage shares some test images and what he likes about the Maven Magnetic Filters. Check it out!



"Magnetic filters have been around for a few years at this point and just when you think they don't need to be more, you're given something that just makes so much sense it makes all the other systems obsolete."

"A Better Magnetic Filter System // Maven Magnetic Filters" - Nick Page Review

Landscape photographer Nick Page reviews the MAVEN Magnetic Filters. Check out Nick's video review and what he has to say:



"It was time... my previous filter system had let me down for the last time... dropped filters, easily broken filters and Magnets that couldn't hold fast to a lens. These new Maven filters are not only built better, with better materials, but the magnets are strong and positive, color coded for ease of use, the same price once they go to retail... but they are independently owned... The color coded design makes these fast and easy to grab the filter you need. In my opinion they are a better filter in every way."

Variable NDs Are Wacky - Here's what they never told you - CPL vs VND vs Solid ND

"Why aren't you making a Variable Neutral Density Filter (VND)?" Is one of the most common questions I get about my new filter line. This is the video I wanted to make to explain it my reasoning to focus on solid NDs first. I have owned and used VNDs for many years, but I stopped using them back in 2014 after I did a side by side shoot with a buddy who was using a solid ND, and the reason: VNDs create unpredictable color shifts for reasons as simple as connecting them to your camera, or when you are changing the degree of filtration. I wouldn't be opposed to making VNDs in the future either as I know there are many, many users out there who love them, I just want to make sure my customers understand their strengths and weaknesses before purchasing them, vs not telling them and letting them discover this on their own.



I realize many of you will be irritated with me for pointing these issues out. If you are ok with color shifts in your footage, then yes, by all means use them. Some of you are also ok with shooting on AWB and letting the camera adjust this automatically as you adjust filtration. I get it. I personally like to have consistent, reliable color, and make my tweaks to exposure by other means (like ISO, or aperture for example).



If you are in the market for a great set of solid NDs, be sure to check out my MAVEN Magnetic filter line now on Kickstarter!
