Hi Niel, pleased you have your filters replaced, but have to say a big thank you . . . . . I have taken my situation with Kase to Trading Standards and Advertising Standards in the UK, this was after having conversations with both representatives in the UK and China. The fact that they have replaced your filters has set a precedent so the minimum I would expect is for mine to be replaced too. It is typical of companies to make you jump through hoops to achieve your consumer rights, however have a youTube channel and they will give away whatever, which ultimately the consumer pays for. Thanks again . . .

Ah great stuff, I very much hope everything works out for you! Fair play to you for chasing it up, they are not cheap and you would want them to work straight out of the box and not have to be filming yourself every time you want to use them. I was lucky I guess that I did have the little video clip showing it happen as proof. Do please keep me tuned into how you get on 👍

@@NeilArthurs Cheers, I have 2 sets, so over 1000€ (3 months use). They said that I have to put a filter onto my lens, then video myself banging the lens on the table to show them how hard I have to hit it to make the filter fall off, but I am not prepared to do that. This was after about 9 months of trying to get them to even acknowledge that there could be a problem. As they have no written returns policy the only place to go was Trading Standards who are compiling the case and Advertising Standards know of anomolies with how sponsored KZbinrs have described the product and usage outside of it's capabilities. It is a real shame it has to be like this. . . . . .

oh s*** this was a year ago your video, that makes sense what does it make sense is that you got the same exact ending of today's but that sun was not visible and that sun is always visible words the 10 freeway and it descends and it doesn't erupt that'sa normal beautiful desert Sunset that your video show it but what I experienced tonight was just totaling and awe much more amazing spectacular show that I've never seen before because you didn't see that round son you saw that glow from like coming up from the San Rosa but not the sun you just saw that glow with like like Ray's coming up so it look like exactly what the fire look like from

I bought a pair of these vallerret gloves and was impressed until i found another brand. OTEX XT-801 Photography Gloves half the price and just as good inmho. The customer service was incredible from Otex shipping from Australia to the UK only 6 days with tracking. Vallerret charge you for sending them back for a refund and actually charged me the shipping too! Wasnt impressed with Vallerret service. At the end of the day they are gloves and expensive ones at that, Otex way cheaper.

Been there - not Forty Foot, but having my Kase filter pop off my lens and into the water. I'd have waited for the tide to turn. I adopted Kase Wolverine magnetic filters pretty much as soon as they hit the market, and in the early years the strength of the magnetic grip was simply too weak. I had my CPL drop off countless times simply as I walked around with the camera pointing downwards, leaving me retracing my footsteps to find it, sometimes three or more feet deep in water. But over time, perhaps because of feedback, they clearly made them stronger, and now I find them just fine - **unless you are stacking**, then the outermost one is often rather tenuously attached. By the sound of it you were stacking three filters? I use their CPL+ND in one filters to save on stacking. I haven't tried their newer "Revolution" filters. Some have moved to Maven brand on account of their firmer magnetic grip.

Thanks for sharing mate. It would seem the video has resonated with a few people, I am glad to be able to share the experience as well. Someone recommended the screw in filters in place of the inlay filters, I might get in touch with kase to see if I can replace them perhaps. It was painful when i saw it bouncing into the water. I'll be paying extra attention moving forward that lesson is learned for sure. Cheers mate, I hope you are well!

Hi Neil. Having spent over a year telling Kase that my filters (2 sets) have lost their magnetism after 3 months and fall off, all they have done is fob me off, pass me from pillar to post and ask for videos that are ridiculous. The last one being, "put your filter on your lens and bang the lens on the table until it falls off to demonstrate how hard you have to hit it, " However so many people are willing to tell you that they have a set that works so it must be impossible that mine do not. At least it's a bit more evidence for people to think twice before buying them. Regards.

Neil. I feel your pain. I've had the same problems with Kase filters, in particular, any filters that have a larger diameter than the lens. They're sooooo easy to accidentally knock off. My solution was to buy the magnetic ring that screws onto the lens and attach the filter to it. It'll mean having to buy a ring for each lens but at least it's secured on. Obviously your largest diameter filter won't need one as it sits flush with the lens diameter.

@@PHILI041 hi, first noticed my issue when a filter came off in the wind. Agree with the bigger filter, the problem seem to be worse on the 95mm set. Thought about "sticking" them but seems to defeat the object of them being magnetic. Have gone black to using lens hoods and lens caps. The lens caps stay on and the lens hood does its job whereas a magnetic ring does nothing to help the shot. If anyone would like to read what Kase have said to me about their problem, happy to share, contact via website in profile
