Generally, busy photographers and videographers carry multiple memory cards. They put in so much time and effort to capture great shots, so it is imperative that they are fully equipped.

Filters are one of the most common and useful tools in photography. Firstly, UV Filters are vital in protecting the front of your lens and shelter it from water droplets and debris that may be floating around in the air. Secondly, ND Filters and Polarising Filters are essential additions to your bag if you like getting a little more creative with your craft. Although because they are so delicate, you can't afford to just 'throw' them into your bag. The smallest of scratches on your filter essentially means you'll have to get a new one...you don't really want to be looking at images that have a slight line across them. So, to protect them, there's no better option than the ATF Filter Pouch, which is a perfect solution for storing, protecting and transporting your filters. Its double layer padding and ventilated pocket design ensure your filters are always well protected and ready to use. It is designed for 3 filters, up to 82mm in diameter with a clever folding design that eliminates the use of bulky filter boxes, allowing saving valuable space in your camera bag.
