As a bit of a self confessed camera guy, I’m always trying to make my shoots easier without compromising quality, and this lens kit has been a proper help. I’ve been using it for a few weeks on both outdoor and indoor shoots, and it’s definitely made switching filters much quicker and less fiddly.

The first thing that stood out was the magnetic system. Honestly, it’s a little satisfying when the filters click into place. No more screwing filters on and off while I’m juggling a camera and tripod. I was on a quick outdoor shoot last weekend, hopping between different angles and lighting, and being able to just pop the filter on or off in a couple of seconds saved me so much time.

The kit comes with three filters: a CPL, an ND, and a black diffusion filter. For anyone who might just be starting out and not too familiar, the CPL reduces reflections and glare from surfaces like water or glass, and it really makes colours pop. I used it on a landscape shoot by a lake, and the sky looked richer while the glare off the water was gone — it actually made the shot look like something out of a magazine.

The ND filter is great for shooting in bright sunlight. Basically, it blocks some light so I can still get that nice cinematic blur or shallow depth of field without everything getting overexposed. On a sunny afternoon shoot, I kept it on my lens most of the time — it made a noticeable difference and saved me from fiddling with shutter speeds constantly.

The black diffusion filter has been surprisingly useful too. I used it for a quick interview setup indoors, and it softened the highlights in a way that made everything look more polished. It’s subtle, but it gives your footage a cinematic touch that you notice without feeling overdone.

Build quality is solid. The filters feel sturdy without adding weight to my lens, and the slim frames make them easy to carry around. I’ve thrown them in my bag a couple of times without worrying about scratches, and they’ve survived just fine. Optical clarity is excellent too — no weird colour casts or vignetting on most lenses.

That said, there are a couple of really minor things. On longer focal lengths, the ND filter can be a touch soft. I only noticed it when I was zoomed in a lot, so it’s not a dealbreaker for me, but it’s worth keeping in mind. Also, the magnetic mount means my regular lens cap doesn’t fit unless I remove it, which can be a tiny pain when I’m rushing between shots.

Even with those little quirks, this filter kit has made my life on shoots much easier. Switching between filters is fast, the case keeps everything organised, and I’ve been able to adapt to changing light conditions without slowing down. I’ve already used it on several trips and small shoots, and I can see it becoming a permanent part of my kit.

Overall, I’d still recommend it. It’s convenient, versatile, and really improves footage without much extra effort. The minor softness on some ND filters and the lens cap issue mean it’s not perfect, but for the price and how much easier it makes shooting, it’s a solid kit.

I hope this review helps someone out.
