At the end of 2020, the filter, strap and bag manufacturer Gobe rebranded itself as Urth. The new name reflects the fact that Urth is a community of creators who are inspired by planet earth and who intend to plant one billion trees by 2032. The company aims to make a positive impact on the planet by manufacturing products from low-impact materials and following sustainable principles.
Urth makes an extensive range of filters, including five different strengths of circular neutral density filter, running from ND4 (2of ND from 2-stops to 10-stops available. As one of Urth’s Filter Plus+ filters, the ND1000 Filter Plus+ is made from German Schott B270 glass rather than the cheaper Japanese Schott glass which has a slightly lower light transmission and is used for the standard Urth range of filters.
