Brass Instruments In Freezing Cold

I have been using them for many years. The brass rings keep the filters from freezing on the camera lenses

These work perfectly, and will keep you fingers from freezing in cold weather shoots.

I have never been disappointed with B+W filters. Not only do they use quality glass but the brass rings prevent the filters from freezing to the lens threads like other brands that use aluminum rings.

Just used it yesterday out in freezing cold in my Sony NX100. It performed as well as my Sony and Watson batteries. With the Anton Bauer reputation I'm sure I'll get many years use out of the battery.

We've used this mic several times since we bought it, in a myriad of conditions: freezing cold temperatures, full sun, indoors, outdoors; and on a variety of interview subjects: men and women, soft spoken to loud voices. It has not failed to capture amazingly clear sound with good tone and quality. Used in conjunction with our Sennheiser 416 boom mic, they are a beautiful, flawless, combination.

Recently purchased these gloves after freezing my fingers off photographing a friend’s horses on a cold, snowy winter morning. Used them this weekend photography birds, on another cold & snowy morning. They work great. Exactly what I needed.

I just got these, but immediately after they arrived I took them out in 33F freezing rain. They got soaked, but my hands stayed dry. My fingers and thumb where it folds back got a smidge cold, but not too bad. I was handling ice, which didn't help. I think these alone would be fine down to about 20F, though if you're out longer than an hour you might want a hand warmer to pop in the flip down part. When I measured my hands, I was firmly in size 9 territory, and I thought I'd have enough space to add some full fingered liners for extra warmth, but I have my doubts. I'll still try it out, but I may need to get a size 10 for next winter. If you will regularly want liners (your hands run cold, you'll be out in sub-20F weather, or outside for long periods of time) size up. For me, I mainly photograph birds, and they're scarce in the winter anyway. I'll go out for a bit in the winter, but rarely for more than an hour or two, and it's not worth it to be freezing in really cold weather for me. If I were a landscape photographer, I'd probably want the warmer version from this brand. These gloves work great for me, but I wouldn't treat them as serious cold weather gear. They're great for average winter weather in Maine, so long as you're not outside all day. They are very well made, and the magnets work great. I highly recommend them if you don't need the warmest gloves around. If you do, I'd check out what else Heat Company has, because I'm very impressed with them so far. Five stars from me, just be aware of their limitations. They're perfect for what they are.

A little large for my hands. Hands feel cold in sub-freezing temperature. Easy to open up finger tips for use of camera or smart phone. Would buy again.

This is a work horse mic used by every sound engineer to record any type of instruments:brass, percussion, etc.

I use this mic to record string and wind (brass mostly) instruments.  The different patterns make it effective in a variety of spaces depending on whether you want to reject other sounds or include reflections.  Versatile and great sound quality.
