NiSi Cine Drop-In Filter True Color Variable ND 1-5 Stops

NiSi Cine Drop-In Filter True Color Variable ND 1-5 Stops – True Color 1–5 Stop Exposure Control

Designed for the NiSi Athena lenses, the NiSi Cine Drop-In True Color Variable ND provides stepless exposure control from 1 to 5 stops. The filter uses high-definition optical glass and a nano coating to preserve image quality while resisting water, grease and dirt. You control the density by rotating the marked ring for predictable and repeatable settings.

Key benefits and intended use

This variable neutral density filter helps you reduce exposure to use wider apertures or longer shutter speeds in bright conditions. For cinema and video work, it lets you keep your designated frame rate while fine-tuning depth of field through combined aperture and filter adjustments. The design avoids the color shift often seen in other variable filters, delivering a True Color result.

How the filter is controlled

The density (ND factor) is stepless and adjusted by turning the filter ring. In addition, the ring is visually marked with numbers that represent different stop values to make repeated settings faster and more reliable. These markings help you predetermine the additional exposure length required and return to preferred densities quickly.

Construction and coatings

The filter is made from high-definition optical glass to maintain resolution and image quality. An advanced nano coating repels water, grease and dirt, making the surface easier to clean. Furthermore, the filter ring is made from high-quality aluminum to be both light and strong.

FAQ

Question: Will this filter fit my NiSi Athena lens? Answer: Yes. The NiSi Cine Drop-In True Color Variable ND is designed specifically for NiSi Athena lenses.

Question: How do I change the density? Answer: Rotate the filter ring. The density is stepless, and the ring is visually marked with numbers representing different stop values so you can set and repeat exposures reliably.

Question: Will this filter introduce a color shift or the “X” effect? Answer: The filter is designed to deliver True Color results and to avoid the color shift seen in some other variable filters. It is also specified to have no “X” effect.

Question: How does the nano coating help me on set? Answer: The advanced nano coating repels water, grease and dirt, which makes the filter easier to clean and helps maintain image clarity in challenging conditions.

Question: Can I use this filter for video to control depth of field without changing frame rate? Answer: Yes. By combining aperture adjustments with this variable ND, you can fine-tune depth of field while retaining your designated frame rate, enabling larger apertures or longer shutter speeds under current lighting conditions.
