PolarPro BaseCamp VND Stage 3 kit The PolarPro BaseCamp Matte Box VND Stage 3 kit is a comprehensive Matte Box set with a beautifully finished filter holder and multiple creative filters. The BaseCamp kit includes a filter holder with lens hood and flag, Stage 3 adapter, clamping rings, 77mm and 82mm Thread Plate, a VND 2-5 stops, a VND 6-9 stops filter and a CP filter. Also included in this kit is the special PolarPro Mist filter. This BaseCamp Matte Box kit is ideal for shooting documentaries, short films, music videos, creative expressions and other commercial projects. The filter holder with lens hood First, mount the Thread Plate on your camera. Then you place the filter holder according to the PolarPro SnapOn principle on the plate, so you don't need any other tools. To keep the whole system as light as possible, all elements and accessories are made of lightweight aluminium. On the filter holder there is a lens hood and a flag. The lens hood prevents incoming light and unwanted lens flare. This allows you to retain more detail in your images. The lens hood also provides extra protection for a fixed filter during use and transportation. The lens hood and/or flag are not necessary to use the filter holder and can be removed. CP Filter In the filter holder there is a circular polarising filter groove in which the CPOL filter can easily be placed. The filter is fixed with a slide and on the side of the filter holder there is a dial to control the polarization of the filter. This system is light tight so that false light does not get a chance. It is important that the letters on the CPOL filter point outwards. The VND filters Both VND filters have a small piece of extra aluminium at the top to hold the filter, this prevents fingerprints on the filter. The filter holder has a slide to insert a filter. The slide is closed at the bottom and suitable for a square VND filter. The complete securing of the filter is done by means of a rotary knob on the side of the filter holder. By adjusting the CPOL filter you can change between 2 and 5 stops, or 6 - 9 stops. The 2-5 VND filter is ideal if you are shooting during sunrise or sunset, when the amount of light is diminishing. The 6-9 VND filter is ideal for shooting in bright conditions with large apertures. Stage 3 Adapter The BaseCamp Stage 3 Adapter is fitted to the Matte Box to enable the rectangular grey gradient filters to be fitted to the filter holder. Grayscale filters are the perfect filters for balancing exposure between the sky and the ground. The soft gradient of a grey gradient filter allows you to correct exposure smoothly and evenly. To correctly align the gradient of the filter with the horizon of the landscape, you need the Stage 3 Adapter. The Mist Filter The PolarPro Mist filter adds a dreamy and smooth look to video footage. It also gives a polished look to subjects without sacrificing contrast and colour accuracy. This soft look adds an extra layer of production value.
