To fill out the set of accessories my girlfriend purchased, I purchased a low-level tripod and another filter set. I’m spoiled, aren’t I?
I purchased an UltraPod. I was a bit skeptical in purchasing this particular tripod, but the reviews were undeniably positive and the price was right. Although small, this tripod has absolutely no problem supporting my camera even with a bracket, flash unit, and a 70-300mm lens. The ball joint allows a wide variety of movement and I’m sure the velcro strap will come in handy.
I also purchased a CPL, FLD, and UV filter set. Admittedly, the FLD lens won’t be too useful considering the camera already handles white balance extremely well. The UV filter will be good for protecting my most-used lens. It is the CPL filter that I am most intrigued with. Working at 90 degrees from the light source, the filter is polarized, allowing me to reduce glare unwanted reflections.
