Ten years with the Novoflex TrioPod – why I still love this tripod system
I have been working with the Novoflex TrioPod tripod system for over ten years now, and in that time, hardly any other piece of equipment has served me so reliably. What began as an ‘interesting modular concept’ has become a true companion for me – whether travelling, in the studio, during macro shoots or outdoors in rough terrain. With over 40 years of experience in photography, I have gone through quite a few tripods. Usually, you notice that one leg is defective and have to buy a new tripod.

Filter holders for 35 mm cameras
Normal screw-in filters have the disadvantage that they only fit a specific filter thread. Although this problem can be solved with adapter rings, screw-in filters have clear weaknesses compared to plug-in systems, especially when it comes to graduated grey filters: the fixed transition boundary limits creative image composition.
Therefore, I would like to introduce two filter systems that are particularly well suited for this purpose. Many manufacturers now rely on magnetic filter holders, eliminating the need for additional adapter rings. For me personally, however, magnetic solutions are out of the question – I don't want magnets in my camera bag. That's why I'm presenting two filter holders that do not use magnets at all, but each offer different advantages.
