Cuely Variable ND Fader Filter ND2-400 Overview
Key Features
Filter Rotates to Adjust ND Factor
1 to 8 Stop Light Reduction
Eliminates Buying Many ND Filters
Use to Create Blur & Special Effects
Quality Optical Glass
Lightweight Aluminum Frame
Fits Lens Cap Diameters
This MRC HD True-Color Hard-Stop ND2-ND400 VND Filter fits specific filter thread on lenses and features a built-in rotating aluminum ring that controls neutral density ranging from ND2 to ND400 with approximately 1 to 8.6 stops of light reduction. This longer exposure allows the shutter to remain open long enough to record the same amount of light, but will also create movement within the shot. The built-in rotating polarization eliminates having to buy and carry around individual neutral density filters. It fits a separately available lens cap.
This VND filter can be used to create special effects, including capturing the blur of rippling water in a waterfall or the swirling effect of city traffic. Since it allows the use of slower shutter speeds in bright light, it becomes possible to create effects that would normally not be possible without the filter.
Precision Hard Stops
The lens features light reduction within 1 to 8.6 stops, measuring approximately ND2 to ND400. Rather than buying numerous filters and constantly changing them, all you need to do is rotate the filter to your desired stop.
NOTE: The mechanism of variable ND filters is based on the principle of polarization. Using the maximum aperture may result in a black X due to the VND filter's interaction with certain lenses and focal lengths.
Accurate Color Reproduction
This ND filter reproduces accurate, true colors, thus avoiding additional in-camera adjustments or post-production color correction.
Lightweight Aluminum Frame
The optical glass is framed inside an ultraslim aluminum ring for durability in the field. CNC machining on the knurled ring provides a secure grip for easy filter mounting and removal.
Premium HD Optical Glass
The filter's high definition optical glass can effectively reduce glare and reflection to capture vivid colors and manage contrast without losing image sharpness. In addition, it guards against water, dust, oil, fingerprints, and scratches, making it easy to maintain and protected in various environments and conditions.
