Moment has just introduced the all-new Moment Variable ND Filter (2-5 Stop) with CineBloom, combining CineBloom and Variable ND into one single filter! This combination delivers a dreamy cinematic look and precise light control by combining the typical CineBloom diffusion with a built-in variable ND filter in the 2-5 EV range. The result is softly blurred highlights, softer details and smooth movement without the need for filter layering. Available in 10% or 20% diffusion intensity, it allows you to shoot cinematic-looking shots with character, even in low light conditions.

Designed for use in the field, it offers a unique tracking system that is easily visible even when using the viewfinder, so you always know where you are in the ND range - no guessing or checking between shots. Subtle mechanical resistance at the extreme points provides tactile response, and fixed stops prevent unwanted polarization. The filter is housed in a lightweight, precision-machined aluminum frame with a laser-engraved control ring and distinctive red anodized ring - designed for fast operation and durability in the field.

Filter sizes to choose from are 67, 77 and 82 mm.
