The NiSi Cine Filter Rotating Enhanced CPL in 6x6 format combines a fingertip-operated rotating clip with a color-enhancing polarizer. It lets you rotate the polarizing element easily by turning a special dial on the clip, which you operate with your finger. This design addresses the common issue of a non-rotatable matte box and makes the filter more convenient during shoots.
The filter clip features a dedicated dial that turns the polarizer. As a result, you can adjust polarization without removing the filter or disassembling your matte box. Consequently, you save time and maintain camera setup continuity during time-sensitive shoots.
The filter uses high quality optical glass combined with nitto polarizing film. This construction effectively reduces strong reflections from non-metallic surfaces by filtering polarized light. As a result, the filter reveals truer object colors, highlights surface texture, and improves color saturation.
The circular polarizer includes an additional coating with nano particles. This coating boosts color vibrancy while aiming to keep skin tones more natural. Therefore, you can expect improved color rendition in scenes where both vivid colors and accurate skin tones matter.
The NiSi Rotating Circular Polarizer has waterproof sealing around the filter edge to help prevent moisture entry during changing weather and shooting environments. In addition, both filter surfaces feature a water-repellent coating. Water that contacts the filter will bead and drop away, leaving no trace, and the coating also makes it harder for dust to adhere. Together, these features reduce cleaning frequency and help maintain image clarity.

Videographers and cinematographers will find this rotating CPL useful when they need to control reflections and enhance colors quickly. Because the rotating dial operates by finger, you can adjust polarization mid-shoot without interrupting camera operation. Moreover, the water-repellent and sealed construction helps when shooting in variable weather conditions.
Question: How do I rotate the polarizer if my matte box cannot rotate?
Answer: Use the special dial on the filter clip. You operate it with your finger to turn the polarizer without needing a rotatable matte box.
Question: Will the filter affect skin tones when enhancing colors?
Answer: The filter has an additional nano-particle coating designed to boost color vibrancy while keeping skin tones more natural, so it enhances colors without significantly altering skin rendition.
Question: How does the filter handle water and dust on set?
Answer: The edge features waterproof sealing to prevent moisture entry, and both surfaces have water-repellent coatings so water beads and drops off, leaving no trace. The coatings also reduce dust adhesion, lowering maintenance needs.
Question: What materials make up the polarizer?
Answer: The polarizer combines high quality optical glass with nitto polarizing film for effective suppression of polarized reflections on non-metallic surfaces.
