The Schneider 82mm Hollywood Black Magic 1/8 Filtercan be applied to purposely reduce the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles. This can be useful for creating a more flattering result of a subject while highlight as well as mid-tone contrast is softened and glare is reduced. Additionally, a glowing effect around highlights is created which can further enhance a subject's appearance or produce a desired effect while overall sharpness is maintained.

This filter has a grade of 1/8. Grades of 1/4, 1/2, 1, and 2 are also available where this filter type's effect becomes approximately twice as strong with each grade number increase.

Q: 6. I'm going to be using this for a DSLR camera mount for overhead photography. Does anyone have any recomendations for the best piece to use for mounting the camera to the arm?

A: There are several solutions that are available but it depends on budget and features needed. If you want to have the ability to adjust the pan and tilt of the Camera you will have to mount an adjustable head on the 5/8 stud on the C Stand. You can do this with something as simple as a double mafer clamp and a 3/8 rod screwed into the bottom of the head.
