Photo Gloves

The first step is to protect yourself from the elements. ProMaster’s Photo Gloves feature multiple layers of fabric to keep your hands insulated from the cold. The pocket on the back of the hand gives you the option to store an extra memory card close at hand or slip in a handwarmer to keep your hands toasty. You’ll still be able to dial in your settings and finetune your setup with fingertips that fold back and stay back with magnets.

Camera Parka

When you’re in cold, wet weather, you need to keep your gear safe and dry. That’s where the insulated, all-weather Camera Parka from ProMaster comes in. Crafted from a PU-coated nylon outer shell that’s water and wind resistant and cotton batting insulation that provides warmth.

It features two built-in clear windows, so you can see both the back and top of your camera and can operate the controls. Three lens ports are included with this kit to fit a wide variety of lenses. Open the bottom of the parka for easy attachment to a tripod. And, if you’re not wearing gloves, the fleece-lined interior is soft and comfortable against your hands.

Rugged Memory Cards

When you’re out shooting in extreme temperatures, the last thing you want to worry about is if your memory card can keep up. Rugged SD Memory Cards are designed to withstand drastic temperatures and weather conditions, like scorching heat and freezing cold, high humidity, and water-exposure (IP68 rated). With a unique molded design, they’re up to three times stronger than standard SD cards.

A ProMaster 128GB Rugged Cine SD card is partially embedded in a bed of white, crystalline snow.

These cards don’t have common failure points like the lock switch and thin plastic ribs, which improves their durability. The bright red color makes these cards easy to spot if they end up buried in your bag or dropped in the snow. Rugged SD Cards are made for creators who push their gear to the limit. Available in UHS-I V30, UHS-II V60, and UHS-II V90 options, with capacities ranging from 32GB to 512GB.

Circular Polarizing Filters

Creating photography and video content in bright white wintery conditions can prove especially challenging. When you add a Circular Polarizing Filter (CPL) to your lens, it cuts down on glare and reflections off snow and ice surfaces, deepens blue sky tones, and increases contrast in winter landscape photography.

HGX Prime CPL filters take it to the next level with a Repellemax II Anti-static barrier that resists dust, dirt, oil, water and fingerprints, while still transmitting brilliant light to achieve the clearest possible image. Cutting-edge multi-coatings and black rimmed glass pass the clearest light to your sensor.

A Multitool Tripod

Once everything is set up for your shoot – you’ve planned the location and composition, set up your gear, and make it to your destination – the last thing you want to worry about is any vibration in your images. High winds, rocky terrain, and slippery surfaces can all affect how your photography turns out. When you add in a reliable tripod, you gain the stability you need to create the content you want.

The Chronicle Tripod Kit from ProMaster is multiple pieces of gear in one. It’s a full-sized tripod, tabletop tripod, handheld stabilizer, and monopod. You can easily convert from an adaptable phone holder to QR plate slot with the twist of a knob. Three section legs with comfortable twist locks create a stable shooting environment. When you bring the Chronicle along on your next wintery adventure, you’ll know you have all of the tools you’ll need easily at hand.
