NiSi Cine Filter Nano IR GND V-Soft 4x5.65"""" 0.6

NiSi Cine Filter Nano IR GND V-Soft 4x5.65" 0.6 – Soft-Edge Graduated IRND for Darkening Bright Skies

The NiSi Nano Vertical Soft-Edge Graduated IRND Filter helps you darken specific areas of a scene, such as bright skies, while keeping the rest of the frame at a normal exposure. It provides a soft-edged transition from dense to clear, making it suitable for scenes that need subtle exposure control without abrupt lines.

How the filter works

The filter is densest at the edge and tapers to clear by the middle. This design creates a soft-edged line of transition between the dense and clear areas, allowing you to reduce brightness in targeted zones while preserving detail elsewhere. Neutral density filtration keeps the image exposure consistent without changing overall coloration.

Design and coatings optimized for digital sensors

This graduated filter is specifically optimized for use with digital sensors. NiSi applies one layer of NiSi Optical Nano Coating to each surface. The coating promotes nearly flat attenuation of visible and infrared light. As a result, the filter aims to minimize color casts, maintain cleaner blacks, and preserve accurate color neutrality when you increase exposure times.

Key features

• Constructed from optical glass for clarity as well as color fidelity.
• Graduated neutral density filter darkens bright areas of an image, such as skies, while leaving the remainder of the frame unaffected.
• Soft-edged line of transition between the dense and clear areas.
• Filter does not affect coloration of the image and is ideal for use with other filters.
• Each surface includes one layer of NiSi Optical Nano Coating that attenuates infrared light as well as visible wavelengths, to maintain color neutrality and suppress color casts due to increased exposure times.
• Constructed from optical glass for clarity.
• Scratch resistance.
• Easy to clean.
• This filter is 4mm thick.
• Leatherette pouch included for storage and transport.

Typical use cases

Use this NiSi Nano Soft-Edge Graduated IRND filter when you need to control bright parts of the frame without affecting the entire exposure. It suits landscape and exterior filming where skies or reflective highlights require attenuation. Because the filter is neutral in color and optimized for digital sensors, it works well in workflows where color fidelity matters.

FAQ

Question: Will this filter change the colors in my footage?
Answer: Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image. Additionally, each surface has a layer of NiSi Optical Nano Coating designed to attenuate infrared as well as visible wavelengths, helping to maintain color neutrality and reduce color casts.

Question: What kind of transition does the V-Soft have and where is it darkest?
Answer: The filter is densest at the edge and tapers to clear by the middle. It features a soft-edged line of transition between the dense and clear areas, which produces a gentle change in exposure ideal for scenes with gradual tonal shifts, such as horizons and skies.

Question: Is this filter suitable when using other filters?
Answer: Yes. The filter does not affect coloration of the image and is described as ideal for use with other filters, allowing you to combine effects without introducing unwanted color shifts.

Question: What accessories come with the filter and how should I store it?
Answer: The filter comes with a leatherette pouch for storage and transport. The filter is described as easy to clean and scratch-resistant, and the pouch helps protect it when not in use.
