Freewell Standard & Bright Day Variable ND Filter Kit Overview

This kit includes two filters designed to cover a comprehensive range of exposure reductions from 2 to 9 stops. The Standard Day Variable ND Filter provides 2 to 5 stops of light reduction, perfect for moderate lighting conditions and creative effects like motion blur and shallow depth of field. The Bright Day Variable ND Filter offers 6 to 9 stops, ideal for managing bright, high-intensity lighting scenarios. This versatility ensures you’re prepared for any environment, from studio settings to outdoor shoots in harsh sunlight.

Precision Adjustment with Hard Stops

A key feature of these filters is the inclusion of hard stops, which prevent over-rotation and ensure that adjustments remain within the filter's functional range. This design eliminates the risk of unwanted artifacts, such as the "X-pattern" common in some variable ND filters, and guarantees consistent performance. The filters also feature demarcated stop values for easy reference and knurled edges for a secure grip, making precise adjustments quick and effortless.

High-Quality Optics

Both filters are constructed from premium Schott B270 optical glass, renowned for its exceptional clarity and color fidelity. This ensures that your images maintain accurate colors and sharp details, even when using strong light reductions. Whether you're capturing stills or video, these high-quality optics provide professional-grade results every time.

Advanced Coating Technology

Each glass surface is multi-coated to minimize internal ghosting and reflections, enhancing overall image quality. The coatings are resistant to oil, dust, and scratches, offering excellent protection and ensuring the filters stay clean and ready for use longer than uncoated alternatives. Additionally, the hydrophobic coating creates an improved beading effect when exposed to water, making cleaning faster and more efficient.
