NiSi V7 Filter Holder — design and usability

The NiSi V7 holder is made of high-quality aluminium and features a matte black frosted finish to minimize reflections. You can mount the included ultra-thin 86 mm True Color CPL in the holder quickly and remove it just as easily. The CPL uses exclusive polarizing film designed to prevent the yellow color cast that can occur with many polarizers.

The CPL rotates 360 degrees and locks in your chosen position with a newly designed locking screw. This locking mechanism is particularly useful when you pair the CPL with graduated ND filters. In addition, an easily accessible adjustment wheel on the back lets you rotate the polarizer even when the holder is full of other filters, so you can fine-tune polarization without disassembling the setup.

Optical coverage and lens compatibility

The V7 holder can be used on lenses with focal lengths as short as 15 mm on full-frame cameras. This means you can attach the holder to wide-angle zooms (for example, a 16–35 mm f/2.8) without risking vignetting, according to the product information. The kit includes adapter rings for 67 mm, 72 mm, 77 mm and 82 mm lens threads to fit a range of lenses.

NiSi IRND and IRGND filters — purpose and effect

NiSi’s Nano IR ND filters reduce light uniformly across the frame, enabling longer exposures or wider apertures in bright conditions. The added infrared protection coating helps to cut infrared light that can cause color shifts, bringing back more natural colors in the image.

NiSi’s IRGND (graduated) filters help when the contrast between highlights and shadows is too great for a single exposure. The medium-edged transition is useful for scenes that include buildings, mountains and elements that protrude into the skyline. The reverse GND is specifically designed for sunrise and sunset scenes: it has a darker center that becomes gradually clearer toward the top while the bottom part is clear, helping to prevent overexposure of the skyline during those challenging light conditions.

Filter pouch — Caddy Pro100 features

The NiSi Caddy Pro100 is designed for the NiSi 100mm system. The pouch will hold 4 x 100x100mm filters and 5 x 100x150mm filters. It features an adjustable cross-body sling strap and can be carried as a shoulder bag, messenger bag or waist bag. You can also mount it on a tripod leg for easy access. The pouch uses a lightweight material to protect your filters from scratches and has a flip-top design that keeps the pouch open while you work.

The pouch can also accommodate a NiSi 100mm V7 holder in the first slot. Placing the V7 holder in that slot reduces the number of available filter slots to eight, which is useful to know when transporting both holder and multiple filters.

Why this kit is useful

This kit combines a versatile holder, a color-accurate polarizer and several ND/GND filters so you can control light, color and dynamic range in outdoor scenes. It suits photographers who want to create long exposures, reduce glare and balance skies with foreground detail. The included pouch and cleaning tools help you protect and maintain your filters on location.

FAQ

Question: Will the V7 holder vignette on wide-angle lenses?
Answer: According to the product information, the NiSi V7 holder can be used with lenses as short as 15 mm on full-frame cameras without vignetting. The kit also includes adapter rings (67, 72, 77, 82 mm) to fit a range of lens thread sizes.

Question: How many filters can the Caddy Pro100 hold when I carry the V7 holder?
Answer: The Caddy Pro100 will hold 4 x 100x100mm and 5 x 100x150mm filters. If you place the V7 holder in the first slot, the available filter slots are reduced to eight, which is noted in the product description.

Question: What is special about the True Color CPL?
Answer: The included True Color CPL is ultra-thin (86 mm) and uses an exclusive polarizing film that prevents the yellow color cast often seen with many CPLs. It mounts quickly in the V7 holder and can be rotated 360° with a locking screw for precise control.

Question: How do the NiSi IRND and IRGND filters affect color and exposure?
Answer: The Nano IR ND filters reduce light uniformly to enable longer exposures and help preserve natural color by adding an infrared protection coating that limits IR light. The IRGND filters help balance scenes with high contrast between sky and foreground; the reverse GND is designed specifically for sunrise and sunset skies with a darker center to prevent skyline overexposure.

Question: What cleaning tools are included in the kit?
Answer: The kit includes a cleaning cloth, NiSi Air Blower and NiSi Clever Cleaner to help keep lenses and filters free from dust and smudges while shooting in the field.
