Element Filters today announced its acquisition by Kondor Blue, a leader in professional camera accessories and rigging solutions. The move integrates Element Filters’ unique filtration solutions into the Kondor Blue ecosystem, bringing professional-grade glass to filmmakers on a global scale.

Founded on the principles of accessibility and bringing products to market made by real filmmakers, Element Filters quickly gained a reputation for its precision made FSND filters, as well as the acclaimed Opaline Diffusion series of filtration.

“Our mission at Element Filters was always to put professional-grade glass into the hands of more cinematographers than ever before.” said Tucker Anderson, Founder of Element Filters. “We’re happy that Kondor Blue shares our obsession with build quality, accessibility, and functional design. By joining forces, we’re able to take the filtration we’ve spent years working on and put it into the hands of more filmmakers than ever before.”

The acquisition follows a successful co-branding partnership between the two companies, which saw the Opaline diffusion filters become a staple for users of Kondor Blue’s matte box systems. Under the new structure, Element Filters’ R&D and manufacturing pipelines will be fully integrated into Kondor Blue’s Los Angeles-based operations.

Effective immediately, Element Filters will begin transitioning its product catalog and future releases under the Kondor Blue brand. Customers can expect the same commitment to optical excellence, now backed by Kondor Blue’s robust global distribution and support network.
