Exceptional filter!

I have always been a big fan of NISI filters and they are always in my pack on international trips. What I like most about this item is you get 5 filters in one with no X'ing in the frame at no point in the rotation. This filter is very smooth to turn and easy to grip when installing or removing. The glass is very clear with no color issues and is amazing for sunny days or extending exposures at sunset. If you are in the market for a cost friendly variable ND filter look no further. You found it!!!

A perfect ND filter, does exactly what you need.

Works perfectly, I never even feel a need to take it off my lens. I don't notice any issues with color or image clarity and shooting outdoors is a breeze. I do wish there was a way to lock it where you set it, but that isn't enough of a critique to take a star off for me.

Great filters

I know these filters are geared towards video but I love capturing Motion with my stills. This filter allows me 1-5 stops extra and so far quality looks great. No ?x? effect.

A perfect ND filter, does exactly what you need.

Explore the versatility and precision of the NiSi 86mm True Color ND-VARIO Pro Nano 1-5 Stops 0.3-1.5 Variable ND Filter, an indispensable tool for photographers and videographers facing dynamic lighting conditions. This advanced variable neutral density filter offers unparalleled control over shutter speed, allowing you to achieve longer exposures or a shallower depth of field with ease. Specifically designed to fit lenses with 86mm front filter threads, it provides an exposure reduction ranging from 1 to 5 stops, with a density of 0.3 to 1.5 that uniformly darkens the entire image. This enables the use of wider apertures or slower shutter speeds than typically possible, enhancing your creative capabilities.

The intuitive design features a front filter ring that rotates smoothly, allowing you to adjust the degree of density effortlessly. This adjustment can be made with or without the included silver lever, giving you the flexibility to predetermine the necessary exposure length for your shot. By manipulating exposure time or aperture, you can control the depth of field and effectively capture motion, adding a dynamic element to your photography or videography.

The transition of density is seamless, ensuring precise exposure adjustments tailored to the specific demands of any scene. The front ring is conveniently marked with numbers indicating different stop values, facilitating easy and repeatable control over density settings. Silver side knurlings on the ring provide a secure grip, making installation and removal straightforward.

For cinema or video camera users, this filter's ability to finely tune the depth of field while maintaining the desired frame rate is invaluable. The True Color feature sets this variable ND filter apart by eliminating the color shift commonly associated with other variable filters, ensuring your images maintain their natural hues.

Crafted from high-definition optical glass, the NiSi 86mm True Color ND-VARIO Pro Nano filter guarantees optimal resolution and image quality. The glass is enhanced with NiSi's Nano coating, which offers a waterproof, oil-proof, and anti-reflective surface to minimize ghosting and reflections. The filter ring, made from high-quality aluminum, is both lightweight and durable, making it a reliable addition to your photography gear.
