If you're seeking to elevate your photography and videography with unparalleled precision and creativity, the Polar Pro Peter McKinnon Chroma VND/PL Filter is your ultimate tool. Developed in collaboration with renowned filmmaker Peter McKinnon, this innovative filter combines a Variable Neutral Density (VND) filter with a Polarizer, designed to reduce glare and reflections while achieving cinematic shutter speeds.
The standout feature of this filter is its adjustable polarizer, which provides a sharp, clean look to your images. It allows you to independently rotate the polarizer, giving you full control over the level of polarization from no effect to full engagement tailored to each scene's needs. This flexibility is crucial for managing reflections on surfaces like water, windows, and vehicles, enabling you to capture your vision with precision.
At the heart of this filter is the all-new Chroma Series Glass, engineered for exceptional color accuracy. This advanced glass formula seamlessly integrates a Polarizer with a Variable ND, ensuring your images maintain true-to-life colors without unwanted color casts. The VND function is perfect for outdoor shooting, allowing you to fine-tune exposure and achieve the desired motion blur by shooting at double frame rates or capturing long exposures.
The filter is available in additional variations, including the VND/PL with 1/4 Black Mist or 1/8 Gold Mist options. The Black Mist variation introduces a subtle diffusion to highlights, creating a soft halation effect while preserving deep black shadows. Meanwhile, the Gold Mist variation adds a warm, golden bloom to highlights, offering a filmic aesthetic that enhances your creative expression.
With the preset stop range, you can avoid cross-polarization, and the haptic feedback feature ensures each VND stop locks securely, making it easier to adjust the polarizer without disturbing the VND setting. The Defender360 provides unmatched protection with a full 360-degree encasement, safeguarding your filter whether it's mounted on your camera or stored in your bag.
