The NiSi Cine Filter Rotating CPL True Color 4×5.65" puts a rotatable circular polarizer at your fingertips. A special filter clip includes a dial that turns the polarizer and you can operate it easily with your finger. This design addresses the common issue of a non-rotatable matt box, making the NiSi Rotating Circular Polarizer more convenient to use than many other polarizers.
The filter uses high quality optical glass combined with nitto polarizing film. Together, these materials effectively restrain strong reflections on non-metallic surfaces (polarized light). As a result, the filter reveals the real color of the subject, highlights texture, and improves color saturation. It can also improve the tone of colors in the sky, which helps achieve a more natural and expressive image.
The NiSi Rotating Circular Polarizer can greatly improve effectiveness and efficiency during time-sensitive shoots. Therefore, it serves as a practical accessory for the videographer and cinematographer who need quick, reliable control over reflections and color rendering while working on set or on location.
The filter has a water proof sealing on the edge that effectively prevents the entry of moisture. Both filter surfaces feature a water repellant coating. When water touches the filter, it will bead and drop away on its own, leaving no trace. This waterproof and water-repellent treatment keeps the image clean and clear, makes it harder for dust to adhere, and thereby reduces the need for frequent maintenance.
Because the dial is built into the filter clip and is finger-operable, you can control polarization quickly without disassembling the matte box or using tools. This straightforward operation speeds adjustments during changing light or composition, and it resolves the limitation of matte boxes that do not allow filter rotation.

Question: How do I rotate the polarizer if my matte box cannot rotate filters?
Answer: The NiSi filter includes a special clip with a dial that you turn by finger. This lets you rotate the polarizer without relying on the matte box to turn, so you can adjust polarization quickly on set.
Question: What does the filter do to reflections and colors?
Answer: The combination of optical glass and nitto polarizing film reduces strong reflections on non-metallic surfaces, reveals true colors, enhances texture and increases color saturation, and can improve sky color tones.
Question: Is the filter suitable for shooting in wet or dusty environments?
Answer: Yes. The filter has waterproof edge sealing to keep moisture out, and both surfaces have a water repellant coating that causes water to bead and roll off without leaving marks. The coating also helps keep dust from sticking, which lowers cleaning frequency.
Question: Who benefits most from using this filter?
Answer: Videographers and cinematographers will find this rotating CPL especially useful because it speeds up adjustments during time-sensitive shoots and provides reliable control over reflections and color rendering.
