Toshiba ikw 21a polarizing filter

Recommended Posts

I have a Toshiba IKw21a camera - works great but I want to ionstall a plarizing filter to reduce glare from water so that Manatees can be seen. Anyone know how to do this specific to my csmera??

Not sure how well this would work... first of all, I see this is a PTZ camera; realize that the polarization angle will change depending on your angle of view of the water, so you'll only get the full polarization effect in one direction of view, unless you find a way to rotate the filter remotely (it will still help as you move the camera around, but not as much).

 

Remember that a polarizer will reduce light transmission by up to two stops (1/4 the amount of light getting through) so it may adversely affect your image.

 

All that said... you'd probably have to get a piece of polarizing glass (maybe from a pair of sunglasses) and find some way to actually attach it to the front of the lens structure. Or you might see if you can find somewhere that will add a polarizing film to the camera's bubble itself...
