Compare the Haida M10 Master and Professional filter kits: what each includes, who should buy which, and the key trade-offs for landscape photographers.
Quick answer
Choose the Haida M10 Master Kit if you need a full set of ND and graduated ND filters for versatile long-exposure and graduated work. Pick the Professional Kit if you want the core filters and a carrying bag at a lower price, and are willing to add a standard ND0.9 and a graduated ND0.9 later.
What each kit includes
Both kits share the same M10 Filter Holder, four adapter rings (67mm, 72mm, 77mm, 82mm), and a Drop-In Nano-Coating C-POL Filter. The Master Kit adds three Red-Diamond ND filters (ND0.9, ND1.8, ND3.0) and two graduated ND filters (Medium ND0.9 and Reverse Grad ND0.9). The Professional Kit includes the ND3.0 and ND1.8, plus a Medium ND0.9 and a Reverse Grad ND0.9, but omits the standard ND0.9 and includes the M10 Filter Bag instead.
The key trade-off: filter selection vs. bag
The Master Kit gives you the standard ND0.9 (3-stop) and the Medium ND0.9 (3-stop graduated) separately, so you can use both simultaneously. The Professional Kit replaces the standard ND0.9 with the Filter Bag, which is handy for transport but leaves you without a standalone 3-stop ND for non-graduated long exposures. If you already own a 3-stop ND or rarely need one, the Professional Kit saves money. If you want a complete set out of the box, the Master Kit is the better value.
Adapter ring compatibility
Both kits include the same four M10 adapter rings (67mm, 72mm, 77mm, 82mm). If your lenses have different thread sizes, you can buy individual adapter rings like the Haida M10 Adapter Ring 82mm or 67mm separately. The M10 system supports sizes from 37mm to 82mm.
Master vs Professional Kit: trade-offs at a glance
- Standard ND0.9 (3-stop) included: Master Kit: yes. Professional Kit: no. If you frequently use a 3-stop ND for non-graduated shots, the Master Kit saves you buying it separately.
- Filter bag included: Master Kit: no. Professional Kit: yes (M10 Filter Bag). If you need a protective case for your filters, the Professional Kit includes one; otherwise you'll need to buy a bag or pouch separately.
- Price difference: Master Kit catalog price USD 1124.20 (compare at USD 1540.00). Professional Kit catalog price USD 749.40 (compare at USD 1249.00). The Professional Kit is roughly USD 375 less, but you lose the standard ND0.9 and gain the bag. Consider whether that trade-off fits your budget and filter needs.
Product facts
- Haida M10 Adapter Ring 82mm: 82mm front filter thread, fits M10 Filter Holder, available in sizes from 37mm to 82mm. If your lens has an 82mm thread, this adapter lets you use the same M10 holder as the kits, so you can mix and match without buying a new holder.
Haida M10 Adapter Ring 82mm - Haida M10 Master Filter Kit: Kit includes M10 Holder, four adapter rings (67–82mm), Drop-In C-POL, three ND filters (3, 6, 10 stops), and two graduated ND filters (Medium 0.9, Reverse 0.9). You get a full set of square ND and graduated filters in one box, ideal for landscape photographers who want to start shooting long exposures and graduated skies immediately.
