Lindsey Optics 4x5.65" / 138mm Brilliant2 Variable Neutral Density Filter

Become the master of light manipulation with the Lindsey Optics 4x5.65" / 138mm Brilliant2 Variable Neutral Density Filter, a high-quality, durable, and versatile tool for the discerning photographer or videographer. This professional-grade filter offers an efficient way to change the ND value swiftly as lighting conditions shift, ensuring you can quickly find the perfect ND setting to achieve your desired lens aperture and depth of field.

Crafted with precision, the Brilliant2 Variable ND filter boasts a variable density range of 2-8 stops, providing you with unparalleled control over exposure. With ND values ranging from ND 0.6 (2 Stops) to ND 2.4 (8 Stops), you can effortlessly adjust for neutral color and optimal light transmission by rotating the geared thumb wheels manually or using an optional motor for smooth, repeatable fade effects.

Unlike other variable NDs, the Brilliant2 is designed for ease of use, functioning flawlessly when inserted in either orientation into your matte box, making it fumble-free. This feature is particularly useful for on-the-go adjustments in dynamic shooting environments.

The filter's advanced broadband multi-layer anti-reflection coating is both water-resistant and oil-resistant, ensuring that internal filter-to-filter reflections are minimized. This coating maintains contrast and prevents ghost images, while also making the filter easy to clean and maintain.

With a large 5.1-inch clear aperture, the included Brilliant Pol Circular Polarizers are ideal for use with wide-angle lenses and large diameter zoom lenses. The vertical dimension is masked to prevent stray light from affecting your shot, ensuring that the light reaching your sensor is controlled and consistent.

The unique construction of the Brilliant2 Variable ND Filter features an all-aluminum body and gears, with the main polarizer mounted in a large gear that runs on Delrin rollers for smooth, no-slip rotation. A second polarizer is fixed in position, and the tray mount design allows for quick and easy insertion into 4x5.65" matte boxes.

The Brilliant2 Variable ND cuts both visible and near-infrared light, reducing "IR Pollution" that can affect camera sensors sensitive to infrared, ensuring that your images are clear and true to life.

For those seeking motorized control, the handle includes a standard 1/4-20 thread for mounting a motor, enabling wireless remote control for jib and crane operation, as well as for creating variable depth of field effects.

Designed to fit seamlessly into professional 4x5.65 cine matte boxes, the Brilliant2 Variable ND occupies two slots and is compatible with industry-leading brands such as Arri, Bright Tangerine, Chrosziel, and Vocas, among others.

Elevate your visual storytelling with the Lindsey Optics 4x5.65" / 138mm Brilliant2 Variable Neutral Density Filter, the essential tool for achieving cinematic quality in any lighting scenario.
