As a landscape photographer and wildlife photographer my tripod is an essential part of my gear. I take it almost everywhere and it is used in a wide range of environments. Some of these, especially the coast, can be harmful for a tripod in terms of its overall condition and functionality.

To get “the shot” sometimes it is necessary to have my tripod legs deep in sand or the sea and my tripod is not too fond of either of these situations! This is where the Tripod Leg Covers by Kase are very useful and form a protective barrier between my tripod and the elements.

Kase Tripod Leg Covers Review — Testing the Kase Tripod Leg Covers in my YouTube video (see below).

The leg covers are waterproof and wear proof. They are easy to slide onto your tripod legs and are held securely by some drawstrings at their opening. The base of the covers (which contact the ground) are made of thicker material than the rest of the covers which is a sensible decision to increase durability and wear resistance.

I recently tested these covers at the coast and they helped me capture the photograph above. All three of my tripod legs were deep in the sea protected by the leg covers. After capturing my photograph I wasted no time in removing the covers to check the condition of my tripod… I was delighted to find that no seawater and no sand had made their way through - my tripod was clean and dry!

When heading out to take landscape photography images I always take some filters with me, I don’t always use them but they have a permanent spot in my camera bag. Some scenes may not require the use of a filter, but often a scene and the resulting image can be enhanced by the use of appropriate filters. Recently I’ve wanted to reduce the size and weight of the filter kit that I carry with me, I hoped to find some filters which were compact and light but offered high optical quality.

I decided to purchase the Kase Wolverine Magnetic Circular Filters Professional Kit. This small and lightweight kit comes with a carry pouch, polariser, ND filters (3, 6 and 10 stop), adapter ring and a lens cap. The beauty of this kit is that the filters are magnetic - once you attach the adapter ring to your lens the filters simply clip on and are held by magnetic force. This, and the fact they are stackable, makes them very easy to use and saves a bit of time over other filter designs.

Recently I headed out to the coast to try out these filters, what better way to test them than take a few pictures? You can see one of my first images taken with the Kase filters below. I am very impressed with their optical quality, ease of use, and the small compact size of the entire kit. The short version of this story is that they have earned a spot in my camera bag.
