Two low profile universal clamps plus two universal clamps on handles let you mount flat or cylindrical items up to 1/4 inch (6mm) thick into the OMNI Filter’s magnetic filter system. Securely hold your favorite shoot-through items exactly where they give you the effect you’re after while freeing up both hands to work unencumbered as you photograph your subject through your unique vision.
In addition to the four universal clamps, The Universal Expansion Pack with Shapes gives you two more long extension arms to allow you to center even the largest shaped insert over the front of your lens plus
two magnetic bases and an array of shaped small and large inserts to get quickly adjustable, repeatable effects that were previously difficult,
if not impossible, to create.
The 8 shaped inserts range from a long, skinny blue and silver mirror full of Swiss-cheese-like holes of various sizes to reflective grids in silver, purple and gold that can be shot straight through for textures and selectively reduced contrast or at an angle for partial reflection effects
reminiscent of light leaks.
When you start looking for more options, look no further than your local craft store or even the bottom of your purse. Reflective, faceted and translucent items of all colors, shapes and sizes abound that can be held in place with an OMNI System universal clamp. If it’s heavy or flexible, try two, or even three clamps at once to securely hold your found and self-made objects in front of your lens to affect a small portion of your photos
or the entire image.
Whatever unusual look you achieve, the OMNI System leaves your hands free to shoot while it does the work of holding your reflective, diffractive and optical elements exactly where you want them, in front of and to the side of your lens, for unique, fine-tunable creative effects.
Add multiple OMNI wands from our previous OMNI kits and expansion packs to layer faceted crystal and prism effects with reflections.
Visuals subtle and wild await.
