adding versatility to your shoot.
GRADIENTER (SPIRIT LEVEL)
The integrated gradienter tool guarantees the smooth installation of your
filters.
IMPORTANCE OF USING A SQUARE GRADIENT FILTER
Gradient filters are generally used in landscape photography to balance the exposure of a bright sky and a darker foreground.
Square gradient filters are preferred over circular gradient filters because they allow the photographer to adjust the filter’s position within the holder to match the horizon line, ensuring a smooth transition between the two areas of the image
In contrast, circular gradient filters have a fixed position of the gradient line in the center, making it difficult to position the gradient line exactly where it’s needed.
FUTURE PROOF

TIPS:
- After each use, clean the filters with an included microfiber cloth to remove any smudges or fingerprints.
- Store the filters in the provided filter case to protect them from scratches and dust.
