  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Deal on Bright Tangerine Misfit Atom (B&H Deal Zone)

Yeah. That's a must buy at that price. I saw that SmallHD deal earlier, but missed it.

*cough* and it fits in a Cine Filter Crate :)
 
Yeah, I picked one up for getting my rig up on gimbals and light weight setups (when I get there).

Shame you missed the deal on the SmallHD! At least you didn't miss the chance at a plug for *someone's* cine filter crate. ;)

I actually am thinking about getting one of those crates, Phil. I don't have a ton of filters so I'm thinking the smaller crate. Are the filter slots big enough to hold the filter and cover? Or do I need to have them naked so they can fit into their slots? Will the Atom fit in that side area in the smaller crate?

The case is designed to have the filters "naked" for quick changing in the field. Keep the pouches at home :)

That's what I typically have in my Mini case. Cleaning stuff, flashlight, and the Misfit Atom. The Misfit Atom has a rubber "scrunchable" hood you can stuff in there too. If you're using the big carbon fiber eyebrow, you'll want the Pro however.
 
Phil,

Thanks for the reply. Ya, I saw in the images all the filters were without the sleeves, but I guess the ultra-safe-protect-it-all side of me was like, "hey, put them in there with the covers...that makes them even safer! RIGHT! Right?". Thanks for the info about the top flag for the Atom as well.
 
yeah got the 24inch SmallHD for $1600!!! A total steal can't to see what else comes in so happy with these deals keep them coming!!!

I have one of these on order from Duclos. You need to get a UK distributor on the go!

Cheers guys. They're coming. Thanks for the support on this one. I'm using them on a daily basis too, I hope they'll work for you as well!

Thats a slick case and at a decent price. For years now I was looking for a quick filter solution like this, but only found in custom ata flight cases. Phill on exterior locations do you notice it getting dirty fast? Shooting outside with the elements always getting inside the case after every opening might be a pain for me. I also don't bounce between 15 filters so much. So maybe I am over thinking the not used filters getting really dusty. I guess just have the 2nd ac clean it all out end of day. Anyway still a dope case!

It will depend, but the interestingly you won't have the case open that much as you aren't stuffing filters back in pouches. You're in and out in a few seconds most of the time. On the cart I keep the filters in the case, it's small enough to have up top and I lay out the stowed cleaning supplies on the outside. I pretty much only open the case to stash and grab filters. Inspect them, clean them, and off to camera they go. It was designed for speed and the case itself while shut will certainly deal with whatever conditions you're in.

I realize many only have 3, 5, or 6 filters they commonly use. There's plenty of solutions for that and arguably if you only have 3 you don't need "anything". However, if you're on a shoot and have a 6 filter kit you can also have a backup or duplicate kit in the same case for B-Cam or whatever. In my kit I usually have a full range of 0.3-3.0 filters, some optical clears for when you need protection, a polarizer, and a couple FX filters.

Everybody will have a different kit, but my big intention here was designing something that is a true field kit to use on 1-180 day shoots and not be as bulky or as heavy as an ATA case while also being a bit faster to use on set with room for some basic accessories. It's easy to stay organized by labelling the top shelf and that will also help the longevity of the foam inside. We started this project back in January of 2017 and I've been rigorously testing it over that time. Some neat design revisions, actually even removed a "feature" to allow for more accessories. At the end of the day this is a good balanced between holding a set or two or three and some stuff you need while on production.
 
I stupidly made the mistake of of saying I would order it later as I was busy with other things. Then of course forgot about it, went to see if it was still going and found out I had missed the window. So, whoever got it at that price got a steal. I'm jealous.

I'm glad I've never done this before... *cough I totally have cough* Sorry to hear that you missed the train, mate! I actually thought about buying a second one just for a situation like this but I succumbed to more selfish endeavors, such as saving for possible Black Friday deals. :/
