PolarPro Basecamp - Directors Kit

PolarPro BaseCamp Director's Kit Overview

The PolarPro BaseCamp Director's Kit is an all-encompassing matte box system tailored for filmmakers and photographers who work in challenging environments. This robust kit comes equipped with a variety of filters and accessories that enhance the creative possibilities for capturing stunning landscapes.

Included in the kit are:

• A comprehensive matte box
• Filter holder with sunshade and flag
• Stage 3 adapter for secure fitting
• EVA carrying case for protection and portability
• Clamp rings to accommodate different lenses
• 77mm and 82mm thread plates for versatility
• Variable Neutral Density (VND) filters: 2-5 stops and 6-9 stops
• Circular Polarizer (CP) filter for glare reduction
• Specialized PolarPro Mist filters (Standard and Heavy)
• BlueMorphic and GoldMorphic filters for unique lens flare effects
• ND8-GR soft graduated filter to balance lighting

The matte box is specifically designed to prevent detail loss in your imagery while offering additional protection during shoots. With an aluminum frame, the filters can be easily swapped without risking fingerprints on the glass, ensuring that your equipment remains pristine.

To set it up, you first attach the thread plate to your camera. Next, the filter holder seamlessly connects to the plate, and you can fit the sunshade to eliminate unwanted glare. A unique feature of the filter holder is the integrated slot for the CP filter, which you can manage with ease using a slider to adjust the polarization. The kit also includes two VND filters, designed with an aluminum grip for easy handling.

The BaseCamp ND8-GR filter is a soft graduated filter, which helps in achieving a light correction of three stops at the top. This is particularly useful for balancing exposure between the sky and the ground. To utilize this filter, you'll need the included Stage 3 adapter, which allows you to securely fit rectangular graduated filters into the holder.

Moreover, the kit provides the option of creating dream-like visuals using the PolarPro Mist and Heavy Mist filters, giving your footage a soft, ethereal quality. For advanced cinematic effects, the BaseCamp Morphic filters add a professional touch of blue or warm lens flares in an anamorphic style.

Transporting the complete kit is made simple and secure with the durable EVA case. The bag's design allows for easy handling, even when wearing gloves, making it an ideal travel companion for any filming adventure.
