Installation with CPL Filter
- Place the CPL filter into the base ring of the filter holder. Ensure it is aligned with the recesses (see orange markings) and held securely by the built-in magnets.
- Screw the base ring with the CPL filter onto your camera lens. Use an appropriate adapter ring if necessary.
- Attach the filter holder to the base ring by hooking it on one side and pressing the orange Easy-Lock button on the other side until it clicks into place.
- Use the rotary wheel to adjust the alignment of the CPL filter.
- Insert your rectangular filter(s) into the filter holder only after the CPL filter is aligned.
Installation without CPL Filter
- Screw the base ring onto the camera lens, using an adapter ring if required.
- Place the filter holder onto the base ring, hook one side, and press the orange Easy-Lock button on the opposite side to lock it securely.
Inserting Optional Extension Rails
- Slide the front rail included with the filter holder inward toward the center to release it.
- Align the notches of the optional extension rail with the filter holder and push the rail outward until it clicks into place. You can now insert an additional square filter.
Important Notes
- The filter holder is compatible only with square filters that are 100 mm wide and 2 mm thick.
- Minor friction noises during rotation are normal due to the aluminum construction and do not affect performance.
- A maximum of one round filter and two square filters can be used simultaneously. Additional filters can be used with optional extension rails.
- If installed correctly, filters can be inserted from the top or bottom, and the system can be rotated.
