Overview

The Benro FR1010 Square Filter Protecting Frame is a purpose-built accessory for photographers who use 100 x 100mm square filters in their landscape, architecture, or hybrid video/photo workflows. Rather than sliding a bare glass or resin filter directly into a holder slot, the FR1010 encases the filter's outer edges in a protective frame that guards against chips, cracks, and deformation caused by repeated insertion and contact with the holder's metal or plastic slots. This is especially valuable for expensive glass ND or graduated filters where edge damage can compromise both the filter and image quality.

Beyond physical protection, the FR1010 serves a light-sealing function by creating a snug fit between the filter edge and the holder slot, blocking stray light that can cause flare or reduce contrast in demanding lighting conditions. A slide-lock mechanism with an integrated safety catch ensures the filter stays firmly in place during setup, repositioning, or shooting in windy conditions. Designed for the Benro FH100M2 series filter holders and compatible with 2mm-thick 100mm square filters, the FR1010 is lightweight, durable, and backed by a 3-year warranty that extends to 5 years with online registration.
