NiSi Filter Swift System VND Kit 95mm

NiSi Filter Swift System VND Kit 95mm – 5–9 Stops Variable ND with True Color

This NiSi Filter Swift System VND Kit in 95mm lets you vary exposure by combining a True Color variable ND and a Swift System ND16. The kit gives a flexible 5–9 stops of neutral density when the two filters are used together. It also includes front protection and a small storage bag to keep the filters safe when not in use.

What the kit contains

• NiSi True Color VND 1–5 stops filter (95mm)
• NiSi Swift System ND16 (4 stops) filter (95mm)
• Front protection
• Small storage bag for the filters

How the filters work together

The NiSi True Color VND provides a stepless 1–5 EV reduction by rotating its front ring. In addition, the NiSi Swift System ND16 gives a fixed 4-stop reduction. When you mount both filters together, you obtain a combined 5–9 stops of neutral density. In practice, you simply push the filters on the adapter or mount—installation is quick and straightforward.

Control and handling

The variable ND controls density by turning the front filter ring. You can rotate the ring with or without the included silver lever. For repeatable settings, the front ring shows visible numbers that represent stop values. Furthermore, the ring has silver side knurlings for secure grip, which makes installation and removal easier during shoots. The VND also features built-in stops at the end positions so you can feel and know where you are during action use.

Compatibility and vignetting

• NiSi True Color VND 1–5 stop filter can be used on lenses down to 16mm focal length (Full Frame) without vignetting.
• NiSi True Color VND 1–5 stop filter combined with NiSi Swift System ND16 (4 stop) can be used on lenses down to 18mm focal length (Full Frame) without vignetting.

Key features

• True Color result that avoids the color shift seen in some variable filters
• No “X” effect
• Optional rotating lever that can be removed

Coatings and construction

NiSi uses an advanced nano coating that repels water, grease and dirt, making the filter easier to clean. The Swift System ND16 includes nano coating, waterproof and antireflective coatings, plus a NEW Multi-Ti Coating that increases scratch resistance and reduces glare. The filter ring is thin to minimize the risk of vignetting on wide-angle lenses, and the ring is made from high-quality aluminum to remain both light and strong.

Practical use for photography and video

This kit suits both photography and video work. For video and cinema users, you can combine aperture adjustments with the filter to fine-tune depth of field while keeping your chosen frame rate. For photographers, the filters let you reduce incoming light so you can use larger apertures or longer shutter speeds than would otherwise be possible under bright conditions.

FAQ

question: What exposure control does this kit provide?

Answer: The variable VND provides 1–5 stops, the Swift ND16 provides 4 stops, and together they deliver a combined 5–9 stops of neutral density.

question: Will I get vignetting on wide-angle lenses?

Answer: You can use the VND alone down to 16mm (Full Frame) without vignetting. When you add the ND16, the combination can be used down to 18mm (Full Frame) without vignetting.

question: How do I change the ND value during shooting?

Answer: Rotate the front ring to change density. You may use the included removable silver lever for easier rotation and repeatable settings. The ring is visually marked with stop numbers and has built-in end stops for quick reference during action shooting.

question: Is the filter durable and easy to maintain?
