Filter Case for Haida M10 100x100mm & 100x150mm filters

Author: Jenny Cameron

Welcome to my test review of the Haida filter case for their M10 filter series or other branded filters of the same dimensions; either 100x100mm or 100x150mm. Holding up to nine filters including Haida M10 filter holder, adapter ring, cleaning cloth & memory cards.

When I first started using filters I never had a case to keep them in which meant using individual tins or cases they arrived in. As my collection increased this really started to annoy me having to faff around often in cold, wet, windy conditions routing through my rucksack searching for the correct filter, this drove me insane! For me personally, landscape photography is a calming influence. I enjoy taking my time & slowing down from "life", I needed to refine this stressful situation as much as possible. Eventually, I purchased a filter field pouch which stayed with me for a few years as there was no other option available from what I found online here in the UK. It had several filter slots but no space for the holder which meant I had to start adapting & let me tell you sewing is not my fortay. Sure it worked but became very cramped & not ideal.

I've been an Ambassador for Haida filters for almost two years now & always mentioned my frustrations regarding a filter case. To my joy this year they released their M10 filter case. This was music to my ears, just what I've been searching for all these years. One thing I will say about Haida is they listen to their customers & are photographers themselves which provides them with a better understanding of reality in the field.

Which would you rather have?

All the tins & cases clattering around, not knowing what filter is in each tin? Or, the whole lot in one neat accessible filter pouch? All Haida filters have the name of the particular filter etched on the top, making this super easy to simply flick through & make a selection of your choice.

Different ways

It fits onto your rucksack waist belt with a super-strong wide velcro strap & a small clip for added security. Or, if you're like me & don't want the added weight of carrying your rucksack around all the time you can attach it to your trouser belt. Another way, if you don't wear belts you can easily thread a long strap through & wear it loosely across your body. A final option, simply hang it on your tripod & secure with the small clip. It really is very versatile.

Construction

Externally the pouch is made from a strong nylon type fabric making this waterproof, moisture-proof & extremely durable. There are two easy to grip red zippers externally, one for the main compartment where your filters are housed is made from soft fleece fabric, ensuring your filters are kept safe from any scratches or knocks. Within this compartment, there is a small red zipped section where I keep my memory cards. The second external zipper on the front of the pouch is a padded pocket where I keep a large lens cleaning cloth as seen in the video & photos below.

Conclusion

In a nutshell I'm thrilled with everything about this pouch. As always with Haida equipment, quality never fails & well thought out. A great solution for any outdoor photographer at an affordable price.

Purchase direct from Haida's European distributor Haida Germany shop for excellent service.
