Novoflex MagicBalance Leveling Ball With 22lb Load Capacity

First, I'd like to say that I really love this simple yet ingenious product. It's expensive, but it's so well made and sturdy and adds such an advantage when on uneven ground, or if you want to add some extra tilt to your shot. It's well worth the price, in my opinion. The Novoflex MagicBalance Leveling Ball is a compact leveling head that tilts 15° in any direction, so you can orient your camera as you shoot on uneven ground, or while using a gimbal head or a panorama system. A twist of the fixing screw enables you to make adjustments using just one hand. The MagicBalance's ingenious design is that of a half-ball in a socket. The small and sturdy leveling head is virtually maintenance-free and moves easily. Its compact design (only 1.7" high and 2.4" in diameter) and rock-solid leveling make the head ideal for gimbal heads, for which topside clearance is an issue, or for 3D cameras. Mounts to tripods with either a 1/4"-20 or a 3/8"-16 stud. Made in Germany. Glass candy not included!

Sennheiser MKE 440 Stereo Shotgun Microphone Kit with Fur Windshield

INCLUDES

  • Fur windshield

OWNER NOTES

The MKE 440 from Sennheiser is a compact stereo shotgun microphone that predominately captures focused stereo sound from within the direction of filming and rejects the majority of off-axis noise from outside the camera focus. The microphone utilizes two mini-shotgun elements that are mounted in a V-shape arrangement, which outperforms mini AB, MS, or XY setups. Takes two AAA batteries, which gives the mic 100 hours of power.

Venus Optics Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero-D Lens for Canon EF

A truly wide-angle prime featuring a rectilinear optical design, the black Canon EF-mount Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero-D from Venus Optics is specifically meant to limit distortion for clear and accurate portrayals of landscapes and architectural subjects. The optical construction also incorporates a pair of aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion elements to control both spherical and chromatic aberrations for improved sharpness and reduced color fringing. A Frog Eye Coating has been applied, too, to repel dust and moisture from the front element of the lens to benefit working in trying environmental conditions. Benefitting the optical attributes, this lens also features a precise manual focus design along with a floating optical system to maintain accurate rendering throughout the focus range, from 7.09" to infinity. Additionally, a petal-shaped lens hood is also incorporated into the lens' design to reduce flare and ghosting when working in strong lighting conditions.
