Tilta Illusion Magnetic Filter Creator Kit (1-5 Stops VND, CPL)

The Tilta Illusion Magnetic Filter Creator Kit (1–5 Stop VND + CPL) is a compact professional filter system combining a circular polarizer and variable ND control in a magnetic, quick-swap design. Built for the Tilta Illusion ecosystem, it enables fast exposure adjustment, reduced glare, and enhanced color fidelity with secure mechanical locking for reliable production use.

The Tilta Illusion Magnetic Filter Creator Kit is a versatile cinematic filter solution designed for photographers and filmmakers who need fast, reliable control over exposure and reflections. Combining a high-quality circular polarizer with a 1 to 5-stop variable ND system, the kit delivers a streamlined workflow for both still and motion production environments.

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. The filter stays colour-neutral even when stacked with other Illusion magnetic filters.

Minimal vignetting

Most common filter combinations are integrated into a single piece of glass — fewer stacked layers means vignetting is eliminated at the source. The low-profile design also keeps the filter close to the lens, so it stays out of the way even on wide-angle setups.

Low maintenance

A water- and oil-repellent surface plus the included microfibre cloth means fingerprints and smudges wipe clean instantly. That means the filter is ready to go again in moments, even after a demanding shoot in dust or rain.

Built around the Tilta Illusion Magnetic Ecosystem, the system uses a magnetic mounting interface reinforced with a mechanical locking mechanism to ensure filters remain securely attached during demanding shoots. This hybrid design allows users to quickly attach, remove, or stack filters without slowing down production workflows.

The included circular polarizer reduces glare and reflections from surfaces such as water, glass, and metal while improving saturation and maintaining natural color balance. When paired with the VND adapter, the system transforms into a smooth variable ND solution, offering precise exposure control from 1 to 5 stops. This makes it easier to maintain consistent shutter speed and aperture settings in changing lighting conditions.

Optically, the kit features full-spectrum multi-coated glass that minimizes reflections and ensures accurate color reproduction. Its low-profile construction reduces the risk of vignetting, making it suitable for wide-angle lenses and compact camera rigs.

Designed for real-world production environments, the kit includes protective magnetic front and rear covers along with a soft carrying case for safe storage and transport. It supports both 77mm and 82mm lenses via included adapter rings, providing broad compatibility across different camera systems.
