The PolarPro Helix Thread Plate 86mm provides the magnetic mounting interface needed to use Helix filters on lenses that have 86mm filter threads. In short, you attach this base plate to your lens and the Helix filter magnetically locks to it.
The Helix MagLock Base Plates are available in a range of thread sizes to match different lenses. These sizes include:
First, thread the Base Plate onto a lens with 86mm filter threads. Next, attach your Helix filter; the MagLock system secures the filter magnetically to the Base Plate. Finally, when you remove the filter, place the included Defender Cap on the Base Plate to protect the lens surface.
Question: Is this Base Plate required to use Helix filters?
Answer: Yes. The Helix MagLock Base Plate serves as the magnetic mounting point and is required to use Helix filters on a lens.
Question: Will this fit my lens?
Answer: Use this 86mm Base Plate if your lens has 86mm filter threads. If your lens uses a different thread size, choose the corresponding Helix Base Plate available in other sizes.
Question: What does the Defender Cap do?
Answer: The included Defender Cap covers and protects the Base Plate and lens surface when no Helix filter is installed, helping prevent dust and scratches.
