The part I DO like is the ability to remotely change aperture, start/stop recording and pulling focus, all from one source. When I'm filming w/o a 2nd crew member, this is just about a must. What I DONT like is how the wireless sensor fits loosely to the converter, the handgrip clamp does NOT clamp tightly (no matter how tight I've clamped it) and moves when I'm maneuvering my Ronin MX, and that I cannot change aperture. Even though this is a great must-have for a single operator, I STILL want to have ability for all on-camera adjustments. If they change these few aspects, then I'd give it a 5-Star and 100% glowing review.

The Aputure DEC Vari-ND is a wireless remote adapter that allows you to attach Canon EF-mount lenses to MFT-mount cameras. In addition to retaining all the features of previous DEC adapters, it is also equipped with an electronic variable ND filter, ranging from ND8 to ND2048. Multiple steps of light adjustment allow you to shoot with a wide-open aperture in bright light. The DEC Vari-ND expands the capabilities of Canon EF-mount lenses when you shoot with Micro Four Thirds professional cameras.

Built in Electronic Vari-ND Filter, 9 Stops of Light Adjustment
The DEC Vari-ND has a built-in liquid crystal variable ND filter, which can achieve ND8-ND2048. That's a range of 9 stops of adjustable neutral density. When shooting, it not only can reduce the amount of light for longer exposure, but it allows you to shoot motion blur under bright light with the iris wide open. It can also help to achieve cinematographic depth of field, bringing more creativity and flexibility to your films.
No Color Shift, No X Pattern
The DEC Vari-ND has an optical design. It uses industry-standard lens and coating technologies. The high transparency of the crystal lens assembly can reach up to 98%. The adapter produces neutral colors with no shifting that traditional ND filters cause. There is also no polarization, which can sometimes create the "X" pattern on your footage.
Retains All DEC Features
The DEC Vari-ND is compatible with all native Canon EF/EF-S lenses and MFT-mount cameras. With the adapter and its control system, you can wirelessly control focus, aperture and focus with A-B points. It's a smart adapter solution for your Canon glass.
Adjustable via Control Box Buttons
The DEC Vari-ND has a new control box design, with an added wheel on the control box to manually control the intensity of ND and aperture. Now, not only can you control these values wirelessly via the supplied hand grip, but you can control them from the adapter itself.
Smart Plug-In Design, Fit For Flexible Usage
With a simple click, you can choose between the Vari-ND filter or a transparent lens. When you're in dark environments where you don't need ND, your DEC Vari-ND can act simply as a follow focus adapter.
Comes With Safe Case
The DEC Vari-ND is mainly made with copper and aircraft-grade aluminum. The inside is crafted with velvet for optimum stability. The transparent lens cartridge comes with its own ABS case and the entire package comes with an additional impact-proof hard shell case.
