We can either provide exchanges in the form of store credit, which can be used sitewide, or we can issue full refunds via the method you originally used for payment. To be eligible for a full refund, the product must be in new, mint condition, including all original, undamaged packaging materials and accessories. Items that are damaged, dirty, dented, scratched, or missing major components may be denied for return. Kolari is not responsible for personal data or items left inside of returned merchandise.

Dawn Temple-Mills –
I love the Kolari Atlas set up, ability to make quick changes using the nd filters in the field. Can’t wait to buy more strengths and try the infrared, fog and others. Everything I have purchased from Kolairvision has been high quality. I will never hesitate to order from this company. When they say strong magnets, they are!! Dawn “Happy Photographer “

I have been using The Atlas system about 6 months for location based outdoor imaging and cinematography. The entire system is really well designed and engineered. All of the filters and adapters are just about the highest quality you could hope to find, from the coatings through to the construction and durability. Strong magnets! These won’t be coming off accidentally, which is how I would prefer they be constructed. The carrying case is very well designed and protective – highly recommended as well.
There is a wide selection of filters available and it is even possible to have custom combinations manufactured if needed. For instance an IR 720 filter combined with a 2 stop ND all in the same frame. There are certain limitations on thicker filters and the custom combos need to be approached on a case-by-case basis. Still, overall it’s excellent to have the custom capability if needed and this type of flexibility is another great feature of this system and part of what makes Kolari such a great resource for photographers.
