Kickstarter: Alter RFS Rapid Filter System: Hinged Lens Filter Adapter

Quick-release magnetic filter adapters (Photography Premium and Manfrotto XUME) are available on the market. But if you don’t need filters, where do you put them? In your pocket or in your pocket? It can be difficult to recycle or maintain.


Meet Alter. This is a quick filter (RFS) system that allows you to turn lens filters on and off as soon as you need them. It connects to the usual filter wires of your lens, then you can install an ND or CPL filter (the size of the filter wire is 40.5 mm to 105 mm). Yes, it still works with your lens flaps, but won’t work with lenses.


So how does Alter RFS work? Because it is connected to the lens filter cables, you can open a "window" to show the viewfinder if you don't need to use the attached filter. It’s great when you go from the inside out. It also keeps the filter close to the lens at all times. The "window" is held in place by magnets so that it does not open easily.

It should be borne in mind that RFS recordings increase in magnification by more than 18 mm and exceed 30 mm and will not work when the lens is opened.

Features:

• Adjustable friction hinge
• rotate the hinge 270 degrees
• No light radiation
• 360 degree swivel
• Magnetic lock
• Ventilated anodized milled aluminum

Alter RFS is available at a discount through Kickstarter and will sell for $ 79. The scheduled delivery date is September 2019. There are a limited number of Early Birds (nesting birds); so come a little earlier until you're done.

• Single first user - $ 63 (20% savings)
• The first dual user is $ 118 (25% savings).
• Starting trio - $ 165 (30% savings)

And if you need more than 3, add $ 55 for each additional RFS to the amount of your commitment.

Also, instead of using Rising Loops you can allocate an extra $ 10 to get RFS + for every RFS you exchange. In essence, it is an ascending loop. The lens ring has a smaller diameter than the filter rings. This eliminates the need for rising rings and eliminates the need to widen wide-angle lenses. It has the same slim profile as standard RFS, and such an already deep front part that is ideal for photographers using filters of the same size on all lenses.


Alter offers a 30-day quality guarantee, as well as a lifetime warranty against defects and product quality when used throughout the life of the product, under normal shooting conditions and for its intended purpose.

Replace the lens filters with a quick filter system.
The innovative swivel filter adapter was introduced on Kickstarter as the first product of its kind.

1. Alter has developed RFS to solve the problem of using filters for lenses.
2. RFS maintains the quality of the original image, focusing on ease of use and convenience.
3. RFS is full of innovative features and aims to change the way we use filters for lenses.

USA, April 30. We changed the way we use lens filters by announcing the launch of the Kickstarter Fast Filter System (RFS). Thanks to its innovative hinged design, RFS provides a solution to the problem of the nature of the use of filters for lenses and the time required to find a safe place to store them. Whether you’re having fun or professionally recording videos or photos, RFS always has a filter on hand to enhance your creative experience at all times.

The idea of ​​RFS arose two years ago when founder Joshua Kasumovich alternated videos and photos during a mountain expedition. He saw that he repeatedly removed and replaced the neutral density filter, disrupting and slowing down its workflow. Convinced that a better way was needed, he began to formulate the concept of RFS. Jonathan turned to Madonna, a friend and old mechanical engineer who had a workshop in the garage. Since then, they have enthusiastically developed designs, tested prototypes and built their own businesses. "As a result of my frustration with shooting with lenses with filters, I realized the need to address the common problem faced by photographers and videographers around the world." - Joshua Kasumovich.

Approaching minimalist design and innovative technology, RFS effectively overcomes the inconvenience experienced by photographers who use filters in their work. RFS preserves the quality of the original image and contains many functionalities that will improve your photo experience. "Alter's goal over the past two years has been to create a simple, clear, easy-to-use and sustainable product." Jonathan Madonna.
