Los Angeles, CA. 26 May 2023: Transporting valuable filters safely has always been a priority for DPs and camera assistants. An ABS box is secure and perfect for large filter kits, but what if you don’t need quite so many filters? As cameras shrink and DPs and crews are more mobile, another solution is required.
Enter the Revar Cine Filter Cartridge. Designed to transport a single 4 x 5.65" filter safely and securely in first class luxury. Wherever your adventures take you in the world, you can rest assured your filter is protected and accessible at all times.
The patent-pending custom box design features a rugged ABS shell that surrounds your precious filter protecting it from the rigours of production. Small enough to slip into any camera bag, case or jacket pocket, the Revar Cine filter box is an attractive dark grey with a matte finish. When stacked, the Filter Cartridge takes about half the space of a traditional fabric pouch, allowing two filters to fit in the space of one traditional pouch. It is ribbed with a special design to provide extra grip while handling and stacking.

Access to your filter is near-instant. Simply unclip the end of the box and you can slide out the filter in seconds. The angled top lid allows you to grab the filter without touching either side, which greatly reduces the need to clean after removing from the case. The guiderails inside the case keep the front and back of the filter from touching either side of the case, greatly reducing the chances of scratching compared to a normal filter pouch. The Filter Cartridge can be disassembled for thorough cleaning if sand or other debris gets inside the case. Any standard 4mm 4 x 5.65" filter will fit, from companies including Formatt, Schneider, Tiffen, Revar Cine and others. The ease and speed of operation will be especially appreciated by cinematographers shooting solo.
The Revar Cine Filter Cartridge is designed to be stackable for easy storage. There are small locator magnets in the corners that aid alignment when putting two or more filter boxes together. Put the boxes in approximately the right position and the magnets snap them into perfect alignment.

These magnets are for positioning only and not strong enough to secure boxes together when being picked up. This is a deliberate design decision as using magnets alone to hold boxes when carried risks of a box becoming detached and falling from the stack. A stronger physical connection is needed for this and Revar Cine provide an extra strong rubber security band that can be used to bundle multiple boxes together securely.
There are multiple labelling options to identify the filter inside the case including separately available vinyl labels for ND and Diffusion. The top, bottom, sides and grooves have slots for standard width machine labels or gaffers tape.
The Revar Cine Filter Cartridge costs $44.95 US each and is available now for authorized dealers.
