Lightweight and Strong

Our Firecrest 85mm holder is constructed from high-quality lightweight materials; the body is aircraft grade matt anodized aluminum. The slots are made from a high-grade Nylon that cannot scratch your glass or resin filters.

This results in an extremely solid holder which weighs only 110g with included circular polarizer installed

Quick and Secure Setup

The holder fits directly to the included rotating 77mm circular polarizer (CPL). The holder is secured with the simple twist of a thumb screw giving you a secure mechanical contact you can trust. It is so simple you can operate it with a single hand!

The integrated gasket seals the unit protecting your images from unwanted reflections, filter flex, or light leaks.

Ultimate Control

The precision geared ring means you can rotate the included Circular Polarizer independently of the holder's orientation giving you ultimate control of your images and composition.

Integrated Circular Polarizer

The holder comes with our high grade full sized rotating 77mm circular polarizer. Operated from an independent side wheel for quick composition and use easily without sacrificing control.

A good all-around accessory

Not described, but mine came with a set of screws and extra bracket section so this can now hold 3 of the 85 x 100 mm filters. The circular polarizer comes with it and using an adaptor or not - depending upon your lens filter size - this is how you can attach it to the camera lens. The included 77mm open plate (no filter) can be used with an adapter if needed, so in this case, you can attach the holder to any lens at all. I can use with my 58mm filter size on my telephoto, or my 52mm filter size on my other lenses, or my 72mm filter size on my wide angle. So, I find this whole set up very versatile. You just need your own filter size adapters which will go to the 77mm no-filter open plate included.

Nice upgrade to previous version

I think I will get good use from this holder but I would have bought the 100mm version instead if I didn’t already own the 85mm glass filters

FORMATT HITECH AMBASSADORS

Although I enjoy all aspects of photography my real passion lies in long-exposures of landscapes, seascapes, and cityscapes. I came across the brand Formatt-Hitech after meeting one of their featured artists on a long-exposure workshop. When I saw the results of how you can control elements of nature with time, I realized I was able to bring out my love for art within the photos I took.

Andy Conway

In recent years I've been thrilled to have won national competitions and to have had work featured in both print and broadcast media. The award which means the most to me was winning the 70th Anniversary "Moments in Time" competition held by the Campaign for National Parks. Getting involved with CNP has led to some great opportunities, including being accepted into the Formatt Hitech Ambassador program.

Kieran Metcalfe

Exploring the great outdoors really helps me to unwind from day to day pressures and balance the mind. I often become overwhelmed by the scenes in front of me and struggle with appropriate composition but since falling in love with long exposure techniques I can slow things down and sometimes turn a mediocre shot into something special.
