RainGuard, a new player to the lens filter game, has just announced their automatic wiper blades. According to RainGuard Filters, “Most photographers struggle with rain droplets on their filters. We’ve addressed that by placing our patented RainSense Maxx Premium Triple-Blade Wiper Blade on all of our RainSense photography filters. Photographing in the rain or spray from waterfalls is no longer a problem!”
How RainSense works
The RainSense Maxx Premium Triple-Blade Wiper Blade automatically sends out a beam of infrared light. When water droplets fall on the filter, they reflect light back at different angles. That’s when the RainSense Maxx Premium Triple-Blade Wiper Blade leaps into action, wiping every last drop cleanly with its triple-blade NoSmear blades.
No droplets, no blades in your image
Lens filter manufacturers have long sought the Holy Grail of image quality: Having no droplets and no blades appearing in the image. They’ve attempted to do so by water-repelling surfaces and experimented with various wiper blade designs. However, RainGuard has nailed the issue with a two-fold approach.
When RainGuard’s RainSense Maxx Premium Triple-Blade Wiper Blade is employed, the blade swirls circularly at an incredibly high rate, never appearing in your image.
When the wiper blade is still, it can either be easily removed by the photographer. But it goes one step further. All RainGuard RainSense products employ cutting-edge AI which automatically recognizes the blade and blends the image so it does not appear. Although it appears to be somewhat like Spot Removal or Content Aware, it uses its own proprietary AI software to make this magic happen.
RainGuard says that this will be available at all camera stores and auto parts stores near you.
April Fools!
What is the date today?
March 32nd :)
Great photoshop work
Hmmmmm…..what is this Photoshop work you speak of? :D
LOL! Living in NW Oregon, going out to the Columbia River Gorge to photograph waterfalls, I can’t wait to get a set of these RainSense filters. I’ll be camping on Pro Photo Supply’s doorstop waiting for them to arrive.
I applaud your tenacity and await your new drop-free waterfall photos!
Genius, one of those products that make you question why it was never invented before.
And here at Photofocus, we revel in reporting on the bleeding edge of innovation.
Add defrost and I’ll add to cart.
OH PLEASE! YOU ARE NOT GOING TO CATCH ME WITH THIS ONE! I got had twice on April 1st and this one is NOT, I repeat, NOT going to get me. Besides, everyone knows you don’t need to use wiper blades if you just use Rain-X.
