NiSi Filter IRND1000 Pro Nano Huc 67mm

NiSi Filter IRND1000 Pro Nano Huc 67mm – 10-stop neutral density with IR protection

The NiSi IRND1000 Pro Nano Huc 67mm is a 10-stop neutral density (ND) filter designed for filmmakers and photographers who need strong light reduction without changing image color. It uses high-quality optical glass with a nano coating and an added infrared (IR) protection layer to help maintain natural color when shooting long exposures or with wide apertures.

Key benefits

Use this ND1000 filter to uniformly reduce the amount of light entering your lens. As a result, you can dial in slower shutter speeds or wider apertures to capture motion blur, separate subjects from backgrounds, and retain image detail in bright conditions. The IR coating helps reduce color cast caused by infrared light, while the nano coating preserves fine detail and surface performance.

Features and construction

• High-quality optical glass — The filter glass is made to maintain image clarity and to avoid losing detail during exposure adjustments.
• Neutral density 3.0 (ND1000) — Provides a 10-stop reduction in light, allowing for long exposures and large-aperture shooting in bright environments.
• Transmits 0.1% of light — The filter passes a very small fraction of light, corresponding to its 10-stop specification.
• IR coating — An infrared protection layer helps reduce infrared-induced color cast and supports more natural color rendition in challenging light.
• Nano coating — The nano coating preserves image detail and improves surface performance.
• Ultra-thin brass frame (3.5mm) — The frame thickness of only 3.5mm reduces the risk of vignetting and allows use on super wide-angle lenses.
• Matt black superfine frosted frame — The frame finish minimizes reflections and stray light.
• Top smooth finish on the surface — The filter surface is finished to ensure consistent handling and optical performance.

When to use this filter

Apply the NiSi IRND1000 when you need a substantial reduction of light without shifting colors. For example, use it to create motion blur in flowing water, to shoot long exposures during daylight, or to open the aperture for shallow depth of field in bright conditions. Additionally, the ultra-thin brass frame makes it suitable for wide-angle lenses where avoiding vignetting is important.

FAQ

Question: Will this filter cause vignetting on wide-angle lenses?
Answer: The filter uses an ultra-thin brass frame with a thickness of only 3.5mm to reduce the chance of vignetting, making it suitable for use on many super wide-angle lenses.

Question: How strong is the light reduction and what effect does it have?
Answer: The ND1000 (density 3.0) provides a 10-stop reduction and transmits approximately 0.1% of light. This allows for slow shutter speeds and wider apertures in bright conditions, enabling motion blur and creative depth-of-field control.

Question: Will the filter change my image colors?
Answer: The filter is neutral density and is designed not to alter image coloration. In addition, the IR coating helps reduce infrared-induced color cast so colors remain closer to natural.

Question: What do the nano and IR coatings do for my images?
Answer: The nano coating helps preserve fine detail and improves surface performance, while the IR protection layer reduces infrared light passing through the lens to help restore more natural color in exposures that might otherwise show IR color shifts.
