NiSi Filter IP-A for iPhone Black Mist 1/4 – Softens highlights and creates a cinematic look

The NiSi Black Mist 1/4 filter for the IP-A system creates a cinematic look by softening highlights and diffusing light. It works with the NiSi IP-A filter holder for iPhone (sold separately) and attaches via a patented quick bayonet mount for secure, repeatable installation.

What the Black Mist 1/4 does

This Black Mist filter reduces strong highlights and lifts shadows to produce a more balanced contrast across the frame. As a result, light sources keep a strong center while developing a pleasing glow around them. The filter also gently diffuses blooming highlights and adds a pastel-like, filmic quality to the light.

Where you can use it

NiSi designed the Black Mist 1/4 for a variety of photographic and video applications. Use it for portraits to soften wrinkles and blemishes and produce a flattering image of your subject. You can also apply the filter in night photography, landscapes, and still life to introduce a cinematic atmosphere and smoother highlight transitions.

How to install and stack filters

If you need to use multiple filters, align the three bayonets on the second round filter with the three holes on the filter clip slot fixed on the IP-A holder. Confirm that the outer bayonets are completely aligned with the round filter clip slot, then turn clockwise to secure the second filter.
