Michael “The Maven” Shiffler is back on Kickstarter with the MAVEN Filters Wave 3 magnetic filter system. MAVEN is known for crafting helpful, field-ready camera accessories that help make shooting smoother without adding complexity. Their magnetic filters are built for fast swaps, better organization, and lasting durability. Founded by filmmaker and educator Michael Shiffler, MAVEN takes a hands-on, problem-solving approach to gear design. Their products often simplify workflows by cutting down setup time, reducing gear clutter, or offering in-camera creative effects. Over time, they have gained a dedicated group of backers thanks to constant updates and direct communication. CineD covered MAVEN’s color-coded magnetic filter launch in 2022. That effort introduced a system that made sorting and swapping filters easier in busy shooting environments. Wave 3 takes things further by adding creative effects, macro tools, astrophotography options, and updates to how things mount and organize.
