Polar Pro BaseCamp VND Kit

Experience the unparalleled functionality of the BaseCamp VND Kit, a revolutionary tool for the modern filmmaker. This industry-leading matte box system is designed to counterbalance the weight of contemporary camera gear, providing a lightweight solution for on-the-go shooting.

The BaseCamp VND Kit's innovative Variable Neutral Density (VND) configuration is entirely tool-less, enabling you to adapt swiftly to changing lighting conditions without the need to swap filters. This feature makes it an essential accessory for dynamic, run-and-gun filmmakers who need to respond quickly to their environment.

Constructed with durability in mind, each filter in the kit is framed in aluminum, ensuring robustness and resistance to fingerprints and scuffs during handling. Whether you're scaling the heights of El Capitan or capturing aerial footage above Denali, this minimalist matte box is built to withstand extreme conditions.

The kit offers VND filter options 2-5 and 6-9, providing comprehensive light control without the need for filter changes. It's also optimized for drone and gimbal use, thanks to its ultralight configuration - Core + CP Filter + VND.

The BaseCamp VND Kit boasts a 100% tool-free operation, from installation on rails to hood removal. Its aluminum filter frames are permanently built onto each filter, facilitating quick and clean filter swapping.

The 2-stage system accommodates both rectangular (ND/VND) and circular (CP/Diffusion) filters, offering four configurations: ND, CP+ND, CP+VND, and ND+Diffuse.

The kit's core component features an integrated CP slot with easily accessible control, and natively fits 114mm outer-diameter lenses. It can easily adapt to a wide range of lens sizes via clamp rings or thread plates, thanks to its unibody ultralight design and tool-free rail mount.

The kit also includes a snap-on hood attachment, filter lock thread plates, and a highly-flexible elastomer that adapts BaseCamp to 67mm-99mm diameter lenses when using a rail system.

The aerodynamic hood reduces drag by 30%, making it ideal for high-speed gimbal use, while the adjustable carbon fiber flag provides full control over stray light and flare.

The ND filters are made from fused quartz glass with 16 layers of coating on each side, ensuring hyper neutrality through 1100nm to eliminate IR contamination. The built-in frames ensure confident filter swaps and protect from impact.

The circular polarizer, also made from fused quartz glass with 16 layers of coatings, reduces glare and increases color saturation. Its aluminum frame prevents fingerprints and protects from impact.

The kit comes with a 100% toolless rail mount and an ultra-compact case for easy storage and transport. With the BaseCamp VND Kit, you can store your fully rigged system and be ready to shoot in seconds.
