They also sell thin rubber sheets about 6-8 inch diameter at hardware stores or on amazon for help removing jar lids with a better grip that will work in place of the mouse pad and they are more flexible than a mouse pad. The hose clamp would slide right over those rubber sheets.
Now THAT is an amazing suggestion! I'm going to check that out!
Practical tips if threads are not stripped. Good one with the hose clamp, Ryan. Jar opener from kitchenware aisle should also work. Careful use of large mouth vice-grip around rubber band, also. New sponsor: Ace Hardware 😊.
ive seen those before, never tried it though! ace hardware for the sponsor win 😉
In England the “hose clamp” is called a “jubilee clip”.
this made my day 💯
Gr8 tips Ryan thanks for sharing those
You bet! Cheers Steve
Can i use signature edits website raw images on my fiverr gig after editing
Please answer me it's really important for me
😕😕😕
I keep a couple of wide rubber bands in one of the pockets of my fishing/photography vest. They save me routinely when using a CPL filter.
That's a great idea!
I was surprised the first time I had a filter get stuck. The rubber band trick worked, thankfully.
It's funny - I seem to be able to screw mine on MUCH tighter than I can ever screw them OFF haha. Glad u got yours off ;)
genius!
cheers! 👌🏻
This happened to me recently, dam CPL filters are the worse b/c they just spin and are really really thin. The trick that worked for me was to use a wooden spoon and just keep tapping it all around. It loosened the threads from lock. I have moved to magnetic filters LOL
wooden spoon for the win! never heard of that one 😉 haha. magnetic cpls are definitely awesome!
press the sole of your shoe against the filter and turn your lens, it works best with sneaker shoes.
If it happens during a job where you don't have any of those tools at hand, just use the sole of your shoe. It has saved me during several jobs. 😂
WOAH 🤯🤯🤯 I never EVER would have thought of that, but actually in a desperate situation that is so smart! Hopefully u can find somewhere nobody is watching though when u take off your shoe lol
I was wondering why your filters were unscrewing in the opposite direction as usual. Then realized your video is mirrored XD
DANNGIT - stupid selfie mode lol! Yeah u are correct. That or I have custom reverse threaded filters 🖖😄
In most cases, all you have to do is push the filter towards the lens with your fingers while turning it.
I would be careful IF using the back of a knife that folds. If it closes suddenly you might get a bad cut
💯! i would never use a folding knife for this job - im way too clumsy 😂🖖
I wouldn't recommend holding the camera that way on a really stuck filter and putting all the torque on it. I'd rather grab lens for leverage - but that's just me.
Fair point! Definitely the safer method
@@SignatureEdits My very first thought! Hate to see the lens mount get trashed.
But WHY is the video mirrored ?!?
It confuse me to see you more fasten the filter, while it come of the camera ... until I notice the mirrored letters in the background.
So WHY ?!?
I have no idea! The camera must have auto-mirrored because it was in "selfie mode" and then sadly I didn't notice until after I uploaded :( my bad!
Get a filter wrench
definitely handy! this is more of a “what to do when u dont have time to wait for your filter wrench to get delivered” situation ;)
You'd have to be a gorilla to either cross thread or over tighten a filter that can't come off without tooling. If this happens to you with any reputable filter brand then I'll gladly take your equipment from you.
its honestly super easy! if u drop a camera or lens the filter can crack and the threads no longer spin off easily. or the thread is just hard to grip. whole reason for making this is precisely because ive had it happen 3 or 4 times! 😅 but sure, maybe im a gorilla 🦍
