ATF produces everything from bags to tripods to lens filters, which provide versatility and flexibility along with enhancing the final outcome of your images or videos.
Below are 8 ATF products that will shoot you from zero to hero, taking your content creation to new heights.
Musketeer Tripod
Although a tripod may sound like a basic addition to a photography kit, they are handier than you might think. A tripod is the most effective way to keep your camera sturdy, which is especially important for macro, astro and close up portrait photography. If there is the slightest shake whilst taking these kinds of images, the result will be sub-par. The great thing about the Musketeer is its huge 3kg payload, built-in bubble level and the impressive 150cm height, offering huge amounts of versatility.
Additionally, the quick release plate allows you to set your shot up quickly and easily and enables fast switching between landscape and portrait shooting. This is a tripod that handles the outside environment really well. It is extremely sturdy, so if you are working on an uneven surface, the tripod adapts and still performs fantastically.
Polarising Filter
If you are already involved in the photography world, then you will know what a filter is and how much they can protect the front element of your lens. But this one is a little different…this is not no ordinary filter.
The polarising filter uses a cross polarization design to reduce reflections from water and reflective surfaces, leading to an improved quality result. They are the perfect companion for landscape and wildlife photographers, providing improved colour tones and cutting out glare and reflections.
They can deepen the blues of the sky, greens in the trees and produce some of the blackest blacks you’ve ever seen, resulting in higher quality images and less time spent on post-production when it comes to colour correcting. The filter comes in a range of thread sizes, so there is an option for everyone.
ATF Sully Backpack
This is easily one of the most versatile backpacks we’ve seen. If you are someone who is maybe a little unorganised with their gear (yes, I am one of those people), this bag is a lifesaver. The main compartment has room for camera with 1-3 lenses, depending on their size, and features handy removable and customizable dividers. With additional storage pockets, laptop/tablet storage and a water-resistant design, you really can’t go wrong with the Sully.
Although the bag is quite large, it boasts a comfortable design and can be easily worn during long shoots or full-day adventures. With a padded back panel, adjustable shoulder straps, a waist belt and an additional sternum strap, you’ll be comfortable all day long.
Cherry Picker
This is another one for all you GoPro shooters out there. The Cherry Picker has the versatility to be used as a grip, extension arm, tripod, or selfie stick, offering a world of possibilities. Whether you’re out shooting solo and want a little happy snap, you’re capturing a time-lapse of the sunset or you’re trying to photograph an object in an awkward or hard-to-reach spot, the Chery Picker has got your back.
It is equipped with a large, textured rubber grip and a waterproof design, so even if you are out in the ocean or abseiling down waterfalls, its still super functional and easy to hold on to. You will effortlessly capture a range of angles and compositions with the Cherry Picker, regardless of whether you are using it as a grip, selfie stick or tripod.

Cleaning Kit
Dust or smudges on your lens is one of the most frustrating things a photographer has to deal with. One tiny fingerprint can so easily ruin a whole shoot, so it is imperative that you are well equipped with reliable cleaning supplies.
This kit includes a lens cleaning pen, dust blower, lens cleaning solution, wet and dry-cleaning wipes and a microfibre cleaning cloth, helping your gear to stay in tip-top condition for every shot.
To make your life even easier, the kit includes a carry case with an access zip, so you can keep all your goodies together in a neat package that offers quick and easy access. The case can also be used to carry your small accessories, like batteries and cables, so you’ll be more organized than ever before!
Memory Card Case
There’s nothing worse than if you’re on a shoot, have filled up the memory card you’re using and a. you don’t have a spare memory card or b. you do have a spare but it takes you 5 minutes of pulling the contents or your bag apart to find it. This is where the Memory Card Case comes in. With dedicated slots for 6 SD cards, 6 microSD cards and 4 compact flash/CFast cards, you can easily carry multiple back-ups with you that will be right there when you need them.
The case is constructed with rugged plastic and is equipped with a rubber gasket around its opening, which creates a water-resistant barrier. It is extremely tough and offers a huge level of protection for when you are storing or out on the go with your memory cards.
