Horizon Camera Backpack

i love horizon lock!!!

Added to my M collection in Camera and lens, this SL camera open a new horizon for me in using not only all Leica Lens, but my Nikon collection as well.

the horizon leveling is unreal! good value for the kit.

Stability, horizon & image colors are perfect right out of the box this time. Love the 70mm camera at 4k/60, but 5.1k/30 would be a nice FW upgrade. The 166mm/7x camera is better than the previous 3. I used the 7x about half the time on the 3. I think the 70mm will be used about 70% of the time. Wish it had 5.1k/50 like the 24mm. Sorry about all my wish list items, but the 3 Pro is really fantastic & solid. It does fit in my old case without the muzzle. Accessories would be nice to find sometime.

No matter how good the dynamic range of your camera, bright skies still overwhelm an image without the use of a graduated ND filter. Use this when the horizon is well defined, or use a soft edge graduated ND filter when the horizon line is irregular (e.g. mountains in the frame). This style can be used with a mount that holds it in front of the lens, or you can hand hold it if your camera's on a tripod. Hand holding is actually less trouble. Either way that you mount it, this style of rectangular filter is far more versatile than the screw-in graduated ND filters because you can move it up and down, even rotate it to exactly match the bright areas. Plus, you only need to buy one to use for multiple lenses.

I use this with Nikon Z9 and have been able to shoot at 90 degrees above the horizon with no concern my camera would fall. Great solid product well worth the money.

This was handy to have. I used it for an operator that liked to have it to double check horizon when in HH.

One of our old Horizon DI boxes died of a transformer. This one cost half as much.

This is the best camera backpack, let alone just backpack ever

I use the BlackRapid Backpack Breathe Camera Strap with a Lowepro ProTactic Backpack. One side of the strap connects perfectly to the rings located on the front of the backpack's shoulder straps and the other side connects onto a loop on the bottom of the pack on the other side. The BlackRapid backpack strap allows me to have quick access to my camera. With the camera on the BlackRapid strap, I no longer need to bring my backpack to my side to remove and use my camera. I now use my backpack only to store and change lenses. My camera can now remain outside my backpack, located conveniently to my side at hip level. When I want to shoot, the camera slides smoothly up the camera strap to eye level. I like that the camera hangs upside-down when resting on the strap. It makes for an easy get to position when my camera is resting at my side. This strap is amazingly slick and fun to use. I have to admit that I find myself playing around with it, like I'm some sort of gunslinger, showing off how quick I can be on the draw. I appreciate the movable clips provided on the BlackRapid camera strap. The two clips are easily adjusted, allowing me to restrict the movement of the camera to stay in one place on the strap when I am planning not to shoot. All of the attachment parts seem well made and designed. I keep the bottom strap strapped to the bottom of my backpack and store the rest of the strap in a small pocket on my backpack when I am not using the strap. Then, all I have to do is remove the strap from the small backpack pocket and connect the free end to the opposite shoulder strap . . . and I'm ready to go! I wish the piece that that screws into the camera (Camera Socket Attachment) was designed so that the camera could sit flat when attached, and if the design of the socket attachment would permit a tripod or mono-pod to be screwed into it without having to unscrew it from the camera. I absolutely love the BlackRapid Backpack Breathe Camera Strap!
