As the weather warms up, you don’t want to be slowed down by heavy gear. That’s where the compact, ultralightweight iota tripods come in. Whether you opt for the tabletop version (iota 219) for compact stability or the full size (iota 422) one that extends to 48″, you won’t regret bringing the iota along on your next adventure. Crafted from 12 layers of cross-patterned carbon fiber, where the grain of each layer is oriented differently than the one below. This build improves strength and stability.

A simplified setup won’t slow you down when you’re out in the field. A single action ballhead uses just one knob to adjust all moves and the single-action leg angle adjustment requires just a short turn to change the angle of all 3 legs. The iota 422 includes an attachable stone bag that you can use for added stability.

While these tripods are supremely lightweight, they can still handle your smaller camera rig. The iota 422 can handle a load up to 5.5 pounds and iota handles up to 4.8 pounds, perfect for mirrorless cameras, compact cameras, and entry-level DSLRs. With the iota tripods, you’ll be set up for your shot in no time, with the additional stability to get it right.

Blue Ridge shoulder bags are ready for whatever spring weather throws your way – rainy weather is thwarted by the included rain cover, padded shoulder straps ensure comfort even when temps swing 20 degrees in one day, and the waterproof bottom keeps your gear dry when you set it down on dewy grass or other wet surfaces.

Consider the extra small (1.8L), perfect for a point-n-shoot or small mirrorless camera with 1 or 2 small lenses and accessories, small (3.1L) that fits a small mirrorless or DSLR camera with 1 or 2 lenses, speedlight, and accessories, medium (4.6L) that can hold a mirrorless camera or DSLR with 1 to 3 lenses, speedlight, and accessories, and the large (5.8L) that can carry a mirrorless camera or DSLR with 1 to 4 lenses, speedlight, and accessories.

As we all know, using the right filter can make or break your images. And beyond using the right type of filter, you want to make sure you’re using a filter that’s designed to keep up with you. Pure Light filters feature polished Schott B270™ optical glass and multicoatings that provide remarkable performance along with oil and water resistance.

Pure Light Circular Polarizer (CPL) filters use high-transmission film, with an impressive average light transmittance of 42.9%! Made in Japan, home to the very best polishing techniques, coating formulas, and unmatched attention to detail.

Thanks to a special combination of hydrophobic coatings and finely polished Schott B270™ optical glass, Pure Light Protection filters have an extremely high light transmission rating, very low light reflectivity, and are color neutral. This equates to a pure transfer of the image to your camera’s digital sensor or film.
