About UV Filters
UV filters eliminate the ultraviolet light, which we cannot see, but affects our images. One of the first issues to take note of is that the light we as humans see and that is critical to our images' colour capture is around 400-750nm. Anything below is considered UV and anything higher is considered IR.
Most camera's sensors can potentially see a massive spectrum, ranging from 200nm to 900nm, which contains a lot of light that is detrimental to the colour integrity of any photo. For this reason, most cameras have an IR and UV filter that limit the range from around 250nm to 780nm. What remains between this range and the visible range can affect colour, but it is very seldom noticeable in images. It used to be a much bigger problem in the film days when UV filters were considered a must-have accessory. One can't absolutely make the argument that UV filters serve no optical purpose in the digital age, as there are situations in which they do help as they cut out the range between the built-in filter and the visible spectrum; 280-395nm. Their real purpose lies in something much simpler - as a protective element for the lenses that cost us so much money.
In the film days, this was a secondary benefit to the filters, but with the advent of digital sensors and built-in UV filters, their secondary property has become their primary purpose.
All NiSI circular filters ship with a hard plastic storage case. If you are purchasing multiple circular filters, the circular caddy pouch is a great addition for quick, safe and easy transport, storage and access.

We have a no-nonsense approach. If a product breaks due to a manufacturer defect, we will replace it without asking any questions. If we have any reason to believe that the product was put through unreasonably heavy usage, we will have to follow the manufacturer's standard warranty procedure.
Leofoto
The manufacturer offers a 10-year limited warranty on all products and we extend that warranty to our customers. Please read the below very carefully, so you understand your position when something breaks or doesn’t work ideally anymore.
It is critical to understand that this warranty only applies to factory faults and not to standard wear and tear. Tripods are subject to a lot of gray areas in this regard as tripods used outdoors, particularly in sand and sea water, are subjected to extreme wear and tear. We will e.g. replace the affected part of your tripod if a carbon tube snaps or cracks without much pressure applied to it or if the apex breaks. We will not replace your tripod or the affected part if e.g. a joint locks up due to sand or salt build up or if a hinge becomes corroded or stiff/floppy and unserviceable due to corrosion or salt build up.
In sum, if we see that you took good care of your tripod and something went wrong, we will go out of our way to fix or replace it for you. If we see that you dragged it through the mud (literally or metaphorically), then we are unlikely to fix/replace it for you. How you handle your tripod and take care of it, is all the difference between 3- or 20 years of service.
The best of tripods will not last longer than 2/3 years if used regularly in the sea, INCORRECTLY, and never serviced. Always make sure to extend the lowest leg section first, so you keep the joints out of the water/sand. Always rinse with freshwater after use in the sea, wipe down with a wet cloth, leave extended to dry and ENSURE YOU KEEP THE HEAD AND APEX DRY. If your tripod’s joints start feeling sandy/gritty, open them up, give them a proper clean and lubrication and fine-tune the tension on the joints.
If travelling on dirt roads, ensure that your tripod is in its carry-bag when not in use.
Your tripod will not take care of itself – it is up to you to do so. All our tripods ship with an info-sheet on taking care of your tripod. We also offer a full tripod disassembly and service for R1000, including shipping both ways.
