Firecrest 85mm Holder Kit - Features
Light but Strong
Our Firecrest 85mm holder is constructed from high-quality lightweight materials; the body is aircraft grade matt anodised aluminium. The slots are made from a high-grade Nylon that cannot scratch your filters - both glass and resin.
This results in an extremely solid holder which weighs only 110g with circular polariser installed
Fast and Strong
Our holder fits directly to the 77mm circular polariser (CPL) or step rings. The holder is secured with the twist of a simple thumb screw giving you an extremely secure mechanical contact you can trust.
It is so simple you can operate it with a single hand!
The integrated gasket seals the unit protecting your photography from annoying reflections, filter flexing or light leaks.
Precision Gearing
The precision geared ring means you can still rotate your CPL independently of the holder giving you unrivalled control of your composition.
Integrated CPL
The holder comes with a high grade full sized 77mm circular polariser.
Operated from an independent side wheel for speedy composition and use without sacrificing control.
THE NEW FIRECREST HOLDER MKII ATTACHED TO A TOKINA 11-20 T2.9 AND BLACK MAGIC POCKET 6K. WHEN PAIRED WITH THE FIRECREST ULTRA RANGE OF FILTER ALLOWS YOU TO GET CINEMA-QUALITY ND AT A FRACTION OF THE WEIGHT
A bigger polariser giving you a wider view
With recent developments in optical design, it has become more common for lenses to have larger threads. To accommodate these advancements we have expanded our CPL (circular polarising filter) to 86mm. This means wider compatibility and better performance on a range of new wide-angle lenses. It also makes it compatible with a range of cinema lenses such as the Tokina 11-20MM T2.9.
The polariser can be fitted into either included rotating ring adapter, and becomes an integral part of the holder. The polariser is operated with an easy to use thumbscrew. This allows you to set your grads and then dial in the exact
polarising effect you want. Due to its free movement, this means you can leave the polarising filter (CPL) attached at all times and simply turn off the effect if not wanted. The construction of the filter also means you can use the CPL filter as an independent filter without the need of the holder.
More step rings, more flexibility.
For improved performance on an even wider range of lenses, the holder now ships with two rotating adapters as standard. These adapters allow the lens to sit closer to the filters helping with wide-angle photography. The kit
includes an 86mm - 86mm rotating adapter and a 86mm - 82mm adapter. For best performance on 77mm and smaller wide-angle lenses, it is recommended to use the included step rings from the 86-86mm rotating adapter.
