Think Tank MindShift Filter Nest, Black

Think Tank MindShift Filter Nest – Holds up to 8 Round Filters (up to 82 mm) with Padded Zippered Pouch

The Think Tank MindShift Filter Nest combines two storage solutions in one compact system. It carries up to eight round filters (up to 82 mm), including space for two variable ND filters kept in an orange divider. The Filter Nest also stores step up/down rings, a cleaning cloth, lens caps, a lens pen and other small accessories.

What fits — organized filter storage

The Filter Nest functions as both a padded exterior pouch and a removable insert. Use the full padded pouch for maximum protection in the field, or remove the insert when you need a lighter, more compact pack. Either way, the Filter Nest keeps your filters and small accessories organized and ready to use.

• Holds up to 8 round filters (fits filters up to 82 mm).
• Includes space for 2 variable ND filters in an orange divider for easy identification.
• Also fits step up/down rings, cleaning cloth, lens caps, lens pen and similar small items.

Key features

• Padded, zippered pouch: The exterior pouch provides protective padding and a zipper closure to shield delicate filters from dust and scratches while you work in the field.
• Removable insert: The insert can be taken out for compact packing or used on its own when you want to minimize bulk during transport.
• Color-coding: The interior color-coding improves organization, lets you identify filters quickly, and removes the need to carry separate plastic cases inside your bag.

Additional features for fast workflow

The Filter Nest includes extras designed to improve speed and convenience during shoots. These features help you access and change filters quickly when setup time matters.

• Belt-mountable: The Filter Nest mounts to a belt to provide quick access to filters while setting up a shot. It is compatible with MindShift r180° Panorama, Horizon and r180° Pro backpacks.
• Grab-handle with SR buckle: Use the grab-handle and SR buckle to hang the Filter Nest from a tripod for rapid filter changes at the rig.
• Front zippered pocket: A dedicated front pocket fits a lens cloth for easy access to cleaning supplies.
