Kinefinity PL Lens Mount Adapter II Combo

A cutting-edge solution for filmmakers, the Kinefinity PL Lens Mount Adapter II Combo is designed to enhance the versatility and performance of the MAVO and TERRA camera systems. This newly engineered PL mounting adapter allows seamless integration of PL lenses with the KineMOUNT, ensuring a secure and reliable connection akin to attaching a PL lens directly to a PL mount.

The standout feature of this adapter is its built-in Electronic Neutral Density (e-ND) filter, which leverages advanced liquid crystal materials and electronic control technology. Unlike traditional ND filters that rely on rotating wheels or polarizing mechanisms, the e-ND offers a modern approach to exposure control. It eliminates the need for external ND filters, filter holders, or matte boxes, thereby streamlining your gear setup and making it more compact and lightweight ideal for solo shooters, documentary filmmakers, and those working in challenging environments like the polar regions.

The e-ND filter covers an extensive range from 0.6 to 2.1 (equivalent to 2 to 7 stops), providing smooth and continuous exposure adjustments. This capability ensures that filmmakers can achieve precise exposure control without altering ISO, shutter speed, or lens aperture, thus maintaining the optimal dynamic range and depth of field. The MAVO/TERRA cameras automatically detect and calibrate the e-ND to correct any minor color shifts, ensuring consistent color accuracy across the entire range.

Additionally, the PL mount is equipped with electronic contacts that support the Cooke i/protocol, enabling the display of lens information and enhancing the functionality of compatible lenses. This integration of optics and electronics into a single adapter not only simplifies the shooting process but also reduces the overall cost and storage requirements compared to traditional optical ND filters.

In summary, the Kinefinity PL Lens Mount Adapter II Combo with e-ND is a revolutionary tool that combines precision engineering with cutting-edge technology, offering filmmakers unparalleled control and flexibility in their creative endeavors.
