Tilta Illusion Magnetic Circular Polarizer with ND Filter (5 Stops)

The Tilta Illusion Magnetic Circular Polarizer with 5-Stop ND Filter is a hybrid magnetic filter combining fixed neutral density reduction and polarization control. Designed for the Tilta Illusion ecosystem, it reduces glare, enhances color, and provides 5-stop exposure control with fast magnetic mounting and secure mechanical locking.

The Tilta Illusion Magnetic Circular Polarizer with ND Filter (5-Stop) is a professional hybrid optical filter designed for filmmakers and photographers who need both exposure control and image enhancement in a single compact solution. Built for the Tilta Illusion Magnetic Ecosystem, it combines a circular polarizer with a fixed 5-stop neutral density filter, offering a streamlined workflow for demanding production environments.

The integrated circular polarizer reduces reflections and glare from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass, and polished materials while enhancing color saturation and contrast. This ensures richer, more controlled imagery while preserving natural tonal balance and clarity.

The built-in 5-stop ND layer provides significant exposure reduction, allowing users to shoot with wider apertures or slower shutter speeds even in bright lighting conditions. This makes it ideal for cinematic motion blur, outdoor filming, and maintaining consistent exposure settings in changing environments.

The filter attaches via a magnetic mounting system compatible with Illusion Magnetic Adapter Rings, allowing rapid installation and removal during production. A mechanical locking design reinforces the connection, ensuring stability when stacking filters or working in motion-heavy setups such as handheld rigs or gimbals.

Optically, the filter features true color reproduction with multi-coated glass that minimizes reflections and maintains neutral color accuracy. Its low-profile construction reduces the risk of vignetting, making it suitable for wide-angle lenses and compact camera systems.

When paired with the optional Illusion Magnetic VND Adapter, the filter can be extended into a variable ND system offering 6 to 10 stops of exposure control, further increasing its versatility for extreme lighting conditions.
