Focus Camera 49mm UV Protective Lens Filter

The Focus Camera 49mm UV Lens Protection Filter is a multi-purpose glass filter that is designed to optimize your photography experience. UV filters block out unwanted ultraviolet light and prevents the UV fogging/haze effect, which can result in inaccurate color and lower the apparent sharpness. This filter is also ideal for protecting your valuable lens from scratches and dust, and it can be kept on the lens at all times, and allows for sharper and clearer photos.

Panasonic HC-VX981K 4K Ultra HD Camcorder

The Panasonic VX981 4K Ultra HD camcorder brings simplicity to the 4K recording experience. It adds in-camera editing solutions that can enable anyone to capture and produce content without complex software. An innovative HDR mode reclaims highlights and shadows often lost by most compact camcorders. For those without a 4K display option, the VX981 offers in-camera downsampling to 1080p displays. Plus the ability to create multi-camera scene picture-in-picture recordings simply by adding a Wi-Fi link to a mobile device camera.

HDR (High Dynamic Range) Movie

By combining two images taken with different exposures, blown highlights and blocked shadows are eliminated. A dedicated HDR button enables quick mode changes.

High-Quality Core Technologies

The remarkable LEICA Dicomar lens produces the subtle nuances and shading LEICA lenses are renowned for. An advanced BSI Sensor supported by a 4K Crystal Engine suppresses distortion to consistently give an accurate rendering of the scene.

Wireless Multi Camera

Built in Wi-Fi links up to three smartphones simultaneously to record picture-in-picture from multiple angles.

HDMI Standard to Micro Cable

Download or record any full HD video to your phone and watch it on your High Definition TV with a full 1080p resolution sound and quality. Features gold plated connectors for the best signal integrity and conductivity.  Supports up to 1080p resolution and HD Dolby 7.1 and DTS-HD Master Audio.  

Wasabi Power Battery and Charger Kit for Panasonic VW-VBT190 Battery

Most modern digital cameras and camcorders are powered by rechargeable lithium ion battery packs instead of AA batteries. This is good news for your wallet since it eliminates the need to continuously purchase expensive batteries. The downside is that there’s no way to recharge you camera’s battery pack if the AC charger gets lost or damaged. Regardless of if you’re a professional or amateur photographer; it’s always a good idea to invest in extra batteries and a charger in case something happens to the ones that come with your device. This Wasabi kit includes an AC charger, two VW-VBT190 packs, a car adapter and a European outlet adapter so you can recharge dead batteries wherever you are.

Charge You Batteries Anywhere, Anytime

This Wasabi charger kit ensures you’ll never be stuck with dead batteries and no means to charge them. The charging unit has a built-in AC plug and the kit also includes a car charger in case you run out of power but don’t have access to a wall outlet. There’s also a European voltage adapter you can use if you’re overseas.

Never Run Out of Batteries

Having a charger that works with traditional outlets as well as a car’s DC plug is great. You’ll almost always have a charging option available to you. But, if you only have one battery for your camera, recharging it still means you’re going to have substantial down time where you can’t take pictures or record video footage. To prevent this situation, this Wasabi kit includes two spare VW-VBT190 batteries you can bring with you so you’ll never have to wait around while your battery recharges.
