Excellent video Murray, the images and the landscape were both superb.

I have the CP30 F4ii ... any idea what the F stands for? Also worth noting, they have the Atlas (bowl style) and Travel series.

I love my FLM CP30-L4II, great tripod, not heavy and it comes with me on most outings. Its easy enough to strip down and clean out when needed. It was one of my best purchases in 2023!

Nice overview - I love my FLM tripods! Tremendous value for the money.

These long tripods are awful for travel & traversing Landscapes.. besides, most often overpriced.

Extraordinary interview. Intimate and personal and beautifully filmed.

Great video sharing. I am having an issue with a UV magnetic filter, too. The magnetic is not that strong. I will highlight this issue to K&F. What I did was, screw the UV lens onto a step-down ring first, then attach the magnetic CPL or ND 1000 filters on top of the UV filter. This is the only way it holds firmly. I am not sure whether UV filter can overlap by another filter quality.

Very helpful video. I wanted to ask, what kind of step up rings do you use? K&F says they don't suggest using step up rings with their magnetic filters cause it might be some issues.

What aspect ratio did you upload this in? Curious how you managed to get ti to appear vertical in subscription feed and in the video feed rather than shorts

Great video. As you started speaking, I thought to myself, he's South African 😄, like myself.

Thanks for the video Murray; I’ve ordered this in a bundle with the tripod. It was £50 extra on top of the tripod, so a decent enough saving. I’m a bit new to this, and didn’t want to spend too much. Some of these prices are astronomical, like Gitzo stuff, and I can’t/won’t spend that much

great review, I have the sirui M2204 (the older one, which was kitted with this K-30x ball head), its great, but the plate isn't Arca-Swiss, its a proprietary one called a TY plate, a dovetail yes, But NOT an Arca one!

Wow, what an incredible journey! Those views in the Drakensberg are just breathtaking. The cloud inversions and sunrises must have been amazing to witness. Kudos for pushing through the tough hikes-it definitely paid off. Can't wait to see more of your adventures!

Does it do a full vertical hang? I’m trying to avoid buying an L-bracket.

Really like these filters, bought a couple sets one small for my fuji and one larger for everything else.... wish they sold them separately would like the ND grad for the larger set but cant get one on its own. also would love colored filters for B&W film, hard to go back to threading filters on and off after using the magnetic ones.

Incredible, thanks for taking us on the journey!

Looks like bliss!

Great video and photography. Awesome that you toughed out the conditions to et those unbelievable storm clouds, snow and light. New subscriber from NZ

What a waste of time, first three minutes test the patience, I just waited to see how much time will you waste before coming down to business

I went from Vatersay to Berneray in June - by car though! Well done for what you achieved.

Wow. I've been doing some research on Michael recently. I just found this video. Nice job! I would love to have one of his books.

I'm using a Nikon F4 80-200 2.8. Should I buy the n36 or the n44?

They look so easy to use!

Great to hear these are working for you. I've debated magnetic filters many times now, but, cost always has me gun shy. I also tend to put a CPL on and pretty much only use that as a filter choice... so screw on circular are my go-to still. That said, maybe when K&F brings their v2 around I'll be ready to drop some proper money into a magnetic set.

Concerning the stacking and vignetting problem. It's very easy to remove the little bit of vignetting in f.ex. lightroom. But I only have one weekends experience with this filter system, so there is that. I could go up a filter size but then I wont be able to use the sun screen. And I often need that.

Thank you for sharing this! Stunning place, feel like you really captured its essence

Good video and enjoyed the information and your experiences. I have just invested in the K&F system and still waiting to get out and put it to the test. I purchased the package which included the CPL+ND8+ND64+Magnetic Ring+Cap. I then purchased the ND1000 separately making a total of about £117 when using coupon. `i think that is a bargain price when compared to the competition.

Just a quick disclaimer! K&F/Kentfaith did not sponsor this video, had no say in the content, and did not see a draft before public release. These are my honest thoughts after 6 months of use! Drop any questions down here and I'll make sure to try and answer :) Cheers, Murray Edit: I just got my hands on the Canon RF14-35 which is a 77mm thread. I'm using 82mm filters and there is no vignetting with one filter, but with two there is just a smidge only right at 14mm. Zooming in to 14.5/15mm it goes away. Pretty much exactly the performance I was expecting as the lens is known to have heaps of distortion so it was kind of to be expected. I will rarely be stacking filters at 14mm so its pretty much a non-issue for me, and it can always be cropped or cloned out in post! My friend uses 82mm filters on a Nikkor 14-30 and has identical performance.

In an interview Salgado states that "photography is my language" and I believe it is understood world wide. A life in story telling that uniquely stands alone ! Thanks for this video.

Wonderful scenery.

Well done! Such a great film man, I love the peacefulness here.

looks like an awesome trip. glad it all came together. those views at 12:55 made the whole effort worthwhile

What lens is that?

First video of yours I've seen. Absolutely mesmerising man, really like this format of video very kraig adams. But beautiful shots and what a journey, got a sub from me!

Wow, stunning pictures, so glad I found your channel, you have a very good eye for capturing beautiful photos, what a beautiful part of the country that is. Great video 👍🏻

Fantastic work you have done, just perfect in every way, congratulations 👍🏻

It's an absolute crime this doesn't have more views. The Caledonian Forest is one of the most remarkably beautiful habitats on the planet.

Thank you Murray for the very fine and detailed review of the KentFaith K&F Concept Nano X Magnetic Filters. The photos are beautiful and very inspirational. I also admire your fine work in putting together this video review with all the details and information. I am tryig to figure out if I should go with round filters, possibly magnetic or the larger 100mm filters for a Nikon Z 14-24 f2.8 lens for an upcoming trip to the Dolomites in late June. Thanks again for this fine review and all the information. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🌟 🥇👍

As a fellow architect; really nice design 👌🏻 currently working on my own van and also using birch combined with black wood, so your video caught my eye 😜 safe travels!

Thanks for a very helpful revue. I'm seriously thinking of getting some 👍

Artcise is another company (same head) my 52 is 5 years old my 54 head is a month old ,, theyre the toughest HD heads going

Beautiful

Great video. For multi-day hikes, can you pack your tent and sleeping bag in the Action x70, or do you carry them separately?

Great review! Have you noticed any creep at all since you've been using this ball head? I have 4 pretty hefty Canon RF lenses, including the RF 100-500mm and I'm wondering if creep will "creep in" over timr? Thanks!

Great job fellas! There was a really authentic feel to this 🙌🏻

Brilliant video mate. I resonate a lot with what Marc talks about. Particularly the meditation element that photography offers. Nice work once again fella.

Fantastic video mate

What a wonderful collection of images, super stuff Murray.

Hi Murray. Thanks for posting this excellent review of these filters. I have already purchased them myself and was really interested to hear about using them, especially under poor weather conditions. In your conclusion, you mentioned a few things I wanted to comment about. I have the same issue with the UV filters. I have the 77mm set. I am using 62 to 77 mm and 72 to 77mm step-up rings for my lenses. I bought two of the UV filters with the intention of leaving one attached to each lens. However, when I attach a magnetic UV filter to either of these rings, it falls off. I don't think the UV filter is as strong a magnet as the others. I found two solutions. The first is to attach the UV filter after attaching another filter or filters first. It seems to stick much better to another magnetic filter rather than the step-up ring. There other solution is to attach a standard screw-on UV filter to the lens first, then attach the step-up ring. Obviously, you would have to check if you get vignetting with this solution. Regarding identifying the filters in the case, I plan to use a fine-tipped permanent pen to label the dividers to make life easier! Thanks again for this great review. Cheers!
