The NiSi JetMag Pro VND 1-5 Stops True Color Filter gives photographers and filmmakers adjustable light control from 1 to 5 stops (ND2–ND32). It combines NiSi’s True Color ND-VARIO Pro Nano technology with the fast JetMag Pro magnetic system to speed up workflows while maintaining accurate color and image quality.
Easily adjust exposure by rotating the filter to fine-tune light reduction. The 1–5 stops range lets you dial in motion blur or a shallower depth of field even in bright conditions. You can use it to control shutter speed for silky water or to open aperture for cinematic background separation in both stills and video.
The filter uses NiSi’s True Color technology to reduce unwanted color shifts. As you change the density, the filter maintains consistent, natural tones across the exposure range. This makes it suitable for workflows that require reliable color reproduction for both photography and cinematography.
The JetMag Pro VND doubles as a polarization tool. After you set your desired ND strength using the front ring, rotate the entire filter to adjust the polarization angle. This reduces glare and reflections on water, glass, and other reflective surfaces while keeping your exposure settings intact. Use this to enhance contrast and saturation without adding a separate polarizing filter.
The filter is crafted from high-definition optical glass and coated with NiSi’s Pro Nano Coating. This coating provides waterproof, oil-resistant, and anti-reflective protection to preserve clarity and reduce flare and ghosting. The aerospace-grade aluminum frame is lightweight yet rugged, built for the demands of outdoor and on-set shooting.
The JetMag Pro magnetic mount makes attaching and removing the filter fast and secure. The patented locking mechanism ensures a tight fit and prevents detachment, even when stacking multiple filters. Note: this filter requires the JetMag Pro 82 Adapter Ring to mount to your lens.
The low-profile frame minimizes vignetting, allowing use on wide-angle lenses. The filter is specified to avoid vignetting on lenses as wide as 16mm full-frame, so you can maintain full creative flexibility without darkening the corners of the frame.

question: How do I attach this filter to my lens?
Answer: The filter mounts to the JetMag Pro 82 magnetic system and requires a JetMag Pro 82 Adapter Ring. You can use the direct 82mm adapter or one of the step-up 82MAG adapters listed (77mm-82MAG, 72mm-82MAG, 67mm-82MAG, 62mm-82MAG) to fit your lens.
question: Will the variable ND cause the X pattern at high densities?
Answer: The JetMag Pro VND includes built-in hard stops at 1 and 5 stops and a fluid density transition to prevent over-rotation and to eliminate the X pattern commonly seen in lower-quality variable NDs.
question: Can I use this filter to reduce reflections and glare?
Answer: Yes. After setting the ND strength, rotate the entire filter to adjust the polarization angle. This reduces glare on water, glass, and other reflective surfaces while keeping your exposure settings unchanged.
question: Is the filter durable for outdoor and on-set use?
Answer: The filter is built with high-definition optical glass and NiSi’s Pro Nano Coating for waterproof, oil-resistant, and anti-reflective protection. The aerospace-grade aluminum frame is designed to be lightweight and rugged for field and studio work.
question: What creative applications suit this filter?
Answer: Use it to achieve motion blur, control depth of field in bright light, or quickly adapt exposure for cinematic video. The magnetic mount also speeds up filter changes for efficient production workflows.
