The NiSi Filter Circular ND Kit gives you three neutral density filters and a dedicated pouch so you can slow shutter speeds, create motion effects and control reflections. You get a compact set that helps you capture moving water, soft skies and shallower depth of field when you need it.

ND filters reduce the amount of light entering the lens. Consequently, you can use a wider aperture or a slower shutter speed than would normally be possible. As a result, you can convey movement with long exposures, and you can achieve shallower depth of field for portraits or selective focus.
In practice, you can smooth water, blur moving clouds, or keep subject exposure balanced when shooting in bright conditions. Also, combining ND filters with a polarizer helps control reflections and improve color saturation where needed.
The ND8 reduces the light entering the camera by 3 stops. Photographers commonly use the ND8 to capture water in motion — for seascapes, streams and waterfalls. In addition, the ND8 lets you use wider apertures with flash outdoors, which helps separate subject from background while managing bright ambient light.
The ND64+CPL combines a 6-stop neutral density filter with a circular polarizing filter. This combination helps you slow shutter speeds by six stops and also control reflections on shiny surfaces like water. Moreover, the polarizer enhances color saturation in skies and foliage.
The NiSi PRO Nano IR ND64+CPL includes NiSi’s top features: IR coating, Nano coating, SCHOTT optical glass of the highest quality, a slim frame and a top performance circular polarizing filter. These attributes aim to deliver reliable optical performance while keeping the filter profile slim.
The ND1000 is a very dense neutral density filter that reduces light by 10 stops. Photographers often choose it for landscape and travel work when they want a long-exposure, dreamy look. Typical uses include creating smooth water surfaces and soft, streaked clouds in daytime long exposures.
The kit includes a practical pouch designed to carry and protect your circular filters. It can hold up to four filters in any size up to 95mm. You can mount the pouch on a tripod leg for easy access during a shoot. The pouch uses a lightweight material to protect filters without adding significant bulk, and interior slots keep each filter separate to prevent scratching.
This circular ND kit is offered in four thread sizes: 67mm, 72mm, 77mm and 82mm. The product title indicates the shown example is 72mm, but you can choose the size that fits your lens thread.
Question: Which filters are included in the NiSi Circular ND Kit?
Answer: The kit includes three filters: HUC IR ND8 (3-stop), HUC IR ND64+CPL (6-stop plus circular polarizer) and HUC IR ND1000 (10-stop), plus a pouch that holds up to four filters.
Question: How does the ND64+CPL differ from the other filters?
Answer: The ND64+CPL pairs a 6-stop neutral density effect with a circular polarizer, so you can both slow the shutter and reduce reflections or boost color saturation. It also features IR and Nano coatings, SCHOTT optical glass and a slim frame for improved optical performance.
Question: Can the pouch be used in the field and how many filters will it hold?
Answer: Yes. The NiSi circular filter pouch is lightweight, can be mounted on a tripod leg for convenient access and holds up to four circular filters in sizes up to 95mm. Inside, individual slots protect each filter from scratches.
Question: What creative effects can I achieve with these ND filters?
Answer: Use the ND8 to capture motion in water and allow wider apertures with flash outdoors. Use the ND1000 for long daytime exposures to smooth water and blur clouds. The ND64+CPL gives you both long-exposure capability and polarization to control reflections and enhance color.
