Tamrac M.A.S. Filter Belt Pack (Black)

Was starting to get a few too many filters than what I could store in my camera bag with them still in their cases. This was especially true of a few that came with step down rings (making for a really thick case). As such I went looking for something to hold my filters without the cases. The case is good and well padded. Each filter has its own slot so no filter is unintentionally touching another one. The pack itself is design for multiple sized filters and as such is a little on the big size for the 58MM I use. I would like it a little smaller so it would be big enough to protect the filters but no so big that I have a hard time reading what filter is what. That being said if you are storing filters on the larger size it will work just fine. The pack itself seams well constructed, The cover has stayed on well, and there is a belt loop. If you have (or anticipating having) a large number of filters than you may want something else. This can store five filters just fine (meeting my needs) and if you need to you can screw two of the same size together and put the pair in a slot, if the filters are thin enough you could get away with this. Overall this product works and meets the hobbyist needs.

I bought this to handier on my Expedition 7x and it is exactly what I expected after reading other reviews. I am able to fit 4 77mm filters in their cases in it. 3 are in square cases and one in a round. The square cases are tall and the flap doesn't come down all the way but there's plenty of bite for the Velcro. I prefer to keep them cased as I am not about to slide them in and out of what could potentially collect dust, dirt, etc. and wear the coatings off or even scratch them in time. I really like the thing it is very handy and will likely order another but I give it 4 stars because it should seal up tight or the flap should be longer to accommodate the taller filter cases.

I bought this to carry some filters in my camera bag, and to eliminate the original hard plastic cases.You could even carry filters in their original cases, but this pack will protect them well either way.It is large for a filter case, but built like a tank. It also can be carried on a strap or even a belt, using the loop in back.The divisions are softly lined, and the dividers are very sturdy, and deep enough for any filter I may carry.If you have the room in your bag, and want to organize at least 5 filters this item will work well.

I very much prefer this filter holder to the traditional "wallet" style holders for a number of reasons. First off, I'm not a person who usually uses filters at all, but there are a number of times when I really wish I had brought along an ND or polarizing filter for an outdoor shot. Grabbing a filter from this pack takes 5 seconds and doesn't interrupt the flow of the shoot like opening up a wallet or fishing a case from a bag does.It can attach to a belt or camera bag strap using the beefy velcro + snap latch on the back, which is cool because most of the time, the filters stay at home anyway. Construction is sturdy canvas, and the padding between compartments is beefy. I leave my most commonly used filters in here with a microfiber cloth to clean them off in between uses.I'd definitely recommend this guy to anyone who needs fast and easy access to filters. Everything about the bag is quality, just like my other Tamrac stuff.

In actual practice, I am just not likely to keep my filters inside of little cases of their own when using this bag. I'm going to need to slide each filter in and out of its section with no other protection. I do it carefully and I'm satisfied that between handling with care and the good coatings on high quality filters, I'm not putting much wear on them. But it would be nice to see a softer lining in the sections than there is. I don't know, maybe that would only hold any grit that got in there, which would be worse.

Not much to say other than it's better than carrying around five filter's in their large OEM plastic cases. I use the Tamrac 5 filter case for CPL's, IR Pass, UV pass, and graduated ND. I use the Tamrac 3 filter case for ND. Between the two cases, I can hold all eight filters with easy access.It's really pretty cool, you can keep it in the bag, attached to the side of a bag, or in a pocket. It's very quick to grab a filter or put one back.All my filters are 77mm, and there is plenty of room to fit them

Use it to transport filters.Pro's:Fits 77mm filter size comfortably.Has velcro and "snaps" - can be attached to belt or camera bag.Has cushioned dividers.Con's:Would have liked to see a cleaning cloth compartment.Would have liked to see the ability to label the compartments, (so that I don't need to lift each one up, to find the one I'm looking for.)I would recommend it to a friend.

In short,It is amazing and do the job... high-quality in everything... most important it takes up to five filters and it is harmless to them...I use it with my Tamrac Expedition 7X and Tamrac Belt...Although it designed to carry 5 filters, still there is room for 3 more filters, and there are two ways to accomplish that :)The 1st way, by joining two filters together and insert them in one pocket. This is a good way but it wont works if you change filters frequently, because you have to dis-attach the joined filters which takes some time... yet, it is good for storing filters in case you don't use them a lot.The 2nd way, which I use more often than the 1st way, is by using the cotton pad that comes inside the filter container/box. I install this pad between the filters, that gives me space for 8-10 filters -- based on the thickness of the filter.I strongly recommend this item, it can be used with the Tamrac Accessory Belt or any other belt...

As I've come to expect with Tamrac products, this is very well made. The case is held closed by a strong Velcro fastener. There is a handle on the top and a fastener on the back through which you can put a belt or camera case strap. The fastener on the back is held in place by a thick Velcro strip and by two press-studs.The case has five well padded slots each of which comfortably holds a 77mm filter. I can't speak for the maximum advertised size of 82mm as I do not have any filters larger than 77mm.In my photography I'm very often swapping over neutral density filters. I've found this to be quite awkward when keeping each filter in its own plastic case but this filter holder makes swapping over filters much easier.A well recommended filter case.

Brilliant little holder for your filters!!! I had some filters that came in a drop down wallet and it drove me insane it was way too big to be carrying around and having to take the filters out the plastic sheets so I brought this tamrac filter case and I can safely have all my filters out of the plastic sheets and straight into this and pick them out as and when!! I may well be back for another when I have some more filters!!

A great addition to those with several large filters. I have several 77mm polariser/ND filters/step-up rings and this pouch is ideal for storing them. Unlike the picture shown with filters stored in their cases, I do not put filter cases into the Tamrac - just the filters themselves. The filter pack is well padded, very secure and strong. As with another review I read, I agree that the belt loop is too heavy duty! Certainly a great way to protect filters.

I was going to buy the Cokin P filter holder but didn't like the reviews and it is twice the price. So I bought a clear plastic rigid box to hold 10 filters in a very small space and all well protected right to the top of the filter. Then I bought this item to hold the filter box. When it arrived I discovered the dividers were stitched in and had to be removed. With them out the box fits perfectly and there is still room for a circular polarising filter. Now I have the option of carrying the filter box in the main camera bag or travel light with only one camera and this holder on my belt. Perfect!

Brought to replace fold over filter pockets as the filters kept falling out of the fold over variety when opening the wallet. This wallet is much better but a gap at the bottom of each pocket can allow a filter to touch as potentially scratch one of its neighbours
