UK-based landscape photographer and YouTuber Andy Lock recently switched to the Maven magnetic filter system, a move that completely changed his field workflow. After years of using traditional screw-on filters, he became frustrated with stuck threads, slow setup times, and missed shots—especially in changing outdoor conditions.
This growing frustration led Andy to search for a faster, more intuitive solution. That search brought him to the Maven magnetic filters, known for their color-coded design and quick-snap magnetic mounting system. In his latest vlog, Andy shares how these features not only solved his gear problems but also improved his creative process.
One of the first things Andy highlights is the color-coded rings. These allow photographers to identify filters at a glance—no more guessing or digging through gear bags during a time-sensitive shoot. The magnetic attachment system is another major advantage. It eliminates the need for threading filters on and off, which can be especially problematic in cold or wet environments.
Thanks to the Maven magnetic filter system, Andy now spends less time fumbling with gear and more time focused on capturing compelling images. His setup is faster, cleaner, and far more enjoyable to use in the field.
Whether you’re a landscape shooter, travel photographer, or someone who just wants a more streamlined kit, Andy’s experience shows how Maven’s system can elevate your photography.
