Key features

No Colour Cast

The cinema-grade Full Spectrum (FS) coating delivers low reflectivity and even light transmission, preserving the true colour of every scene.

Minimal Vignetting

Most common filter combinations are integrated into a single piece of glass — fewer stacked layers means vignetting is eliminated at the source.

Low Maintenance

A water- and oil-repellent surface, plus the included microfibre cleaning cloth, means fingerprints and smudges wipe clean instantly, making everyday upkeep effortless.

The integrated circular polarizer helps reduce unwanted reflections and glare from reflective surfaces such as water, glass, and metal while increasing color saturation and contrast for richer, more vibrant visuals. This makes skies appear deeper, foliage more vivid, and overall image quality cleaner and more professional.

In addition to polarization, the filter incorporates a Black Mist 1/4 diffusion effect that subtly softens highlights and creates a cinematic glow around light sources without overly reducing image sharpness. Unlike stronger diffusion filters, the Black Mist 1/4 maintains shadow detail and contrast while adding a refined cinematic atmosphere ideal for portraits, narrative filmmaking, music videos, and creative content production.

The filter also supports expanded exposure control when paired with the optional Tilta VND Adapter, providing filmmakers with additional flexibility for achieving cinematic depth of field and smooth motion blur in bright lighting conditions.

Constructed from durable aluminum and high-quality optical glass, the filter maintains true color rendition for accurate and natural-looking results. Its lightweight silver design balances portability with professional durability for both studio and on-location shooting.
