This 4-stop, 100 x 150mm Horizon Line Graduated ND Filter can be applied to darken the sky, specifically along the horizon during a sunrise or sunset, while allowing for a normal, unaffected exposure in the other regions of the image.

This filter achieves its effect with a 1.2 band of density across its center region that provides up to a 4-stop reduction in light from entering a lens. The band of density extends approximately 1.25" in both vertical directions before tapering to clear below and above, with soft-edged lines of transition before the clear areas. The clear areas then extend approximately 2.3" until they meet the top and bottom edges of the filter.

A narrow 1.2 band of density with larger clear areas directly above and below it allows the NiSi 100 x 150mm Horizon Line Graduated Neutral Density 1.2 Filter to specifically match the positioning of the sun when it is at, or immediately above, the horizon. In such instances, the sun will appear closer to the center of an image as opposed to the upper edge, and an increase in brightness is created which is much more prominent on both sides of the sun than either above or below it. This pattern of brightness corresponds to the density pattern on the 100 x 150mm Horizon Line Graduated Neutral Density Filter 1.2 Filter. The soft-edged lines of transition in this filter are useful for images that have features alongside the sun that cannot be confined within the band of density.

This filter is compatible with filter holders that can accommodate 2mm-thick, 100mm-wide rectangular filters and is constructed from optical glass for clarity as well as color fidelity. Each glass surface includes one layer of nano coating. The nano coating associated with this filter results in an improved beading effect when in contact with water or oil for greater cleaning efficiency.

A leatherette pouch is included with this filter for storage and transport.

Q: 3. Does the camera insert fit in other lowepro packs?

A: Regarding the Lowepro Powder Backpack 500 AW (Gray and Orange), it is possible to fit the camera insert in other Lowepro backpacks, but that all depends on the model.

Q: 4. Can this be used with a camcorder, such as the Canon XA11?

A: Yes, a smaller style pro camcorder like a Canon XA11 should work on this stabilizer, but may need to have the top handle removed. Also, due to the length of the camcorder, it may not fully tilt (something that would be similar with any stabilizer of this size), but should be able to balance fine.

Q: 5. can a Sony SRG-XB25 be used?

A: It may work, but the SRG-XB25 would need to be wired to power and that would make it unusable on the E-Image Horizon Pro Gimbal & Dual Grip Handle Kit. Please note that the camera would need to be tested.

Q: 6. Will this fit on a MindShift Gear BackLight 26L Backpack?

A: It will not fit snugly, It will fit but will be about 4" too long.

Q: 7. Can this be used with a camcorder such as a Canon XA11?

A: Yes, a smaller style pro camcorder like a Canon XA11 should work on this stabilizer, but may need to have the top handle removed. Also, due to the length of the camcorder, it may not fully tilt (something that would be similar with any stabilizer of this size), but should be able to balance fine.

Q: 8. What is the maximum angle that this can provide?

A: The maximum angle for this head is 18 degrees.

Q: 9. Will temperature effect function, below zero or direct summer sun?

A: The Wild Iron Squish Horizon Correction Camera Head is engineered for extreme environments and temperatures from −40 to 100 °C (−40 to 212 °F) while still maintaining its useful properties.

Q: 10. Does it come with a Camera Compartment (adjustable dividers)? Camera Compartment size please?
