PolarPro Chroma VND/PL 2-5 Stop 67mm — Variable ND plus Polarizer for exposure and glare control
The PolarPro Chroma PMVND/PL 2-5 Stop 67mm combines a variable neutral density filter with a polarizer in one compact unit. Filmmakers and photographers can control exposure and reduce reflections without swapping filters. It helps manage light, cut glare from reflective surfaces, and enhance color saturation for outdoor scenes and landscapes.
Key features and benefits
- 2-5 Stop Variable ND: Adjust light reduction across a 2–5 stop range to handle bright conditions and wide aperture work. This variable control lets you fine-tune exposure without changing camera settings or filters.
- Integrated Polarizer: Reduce glare from water, glass and other reflective surfaces while improving color saturation. The combined design streamlines your setup by offering both ND and polarization in one filter.
- Zero Cross Polarization: Eliminates the "X-pattern" that can appear with some variable ND filters, delivering an even light reduction across the frame for consistent, professional-looking results.
- Durable, Precision Frame: The aerospace-grade aluminum frame provides smooth, precise adjustments and durable performance in a variety of shooting conditions.
- ChromaSeries Glass: PolarPro’s premium, multi-coated optical glass is designed for maximum sharpness and color accuracy, maintaining image quality while applying ND and polarizing effects.
- Easy-to-Use Markings: Clear stop markings let you quickly set and repeat ND and polarization positions, helping you work faster on location and maintain consistency between shots.
Use cases
- Outdoor photography and filmmaking where bright light requires exposure control.
- Landscape work that benefits from reduced reflections and richer color saturation.
- Wide aperture shooting where controlling light without altering depth of field is important.
- Any situation where combining ND and polarization in one filter simplifies your workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Is this filter suitable for both stills and video?
Answer: Yes. The filter is described as useful for both filmmaking and photography, making it suitable for stills and video work where exposure control and polarization are needed.
Question: What does "2-5 stop" mean for my shooting?
Answer: The 2-5 stop designation indicates the variable ND range available on the filter, allowing you to reduce incoming light across that range to manage bright conditions and wide aperture shooting.
Question: Will I see an X-pattern when using this filter?
Answer: The filter features Zero Cross Polarization, which is designed to eliminate the "X-pattern" that can occur with some variable ND filters, providing more even light reduction.
Question: What comes with the filter for protection and cleaning?
Answer: The package includes a case and a microfiber cleaning cloth, offering basic protection and a cloth for maintaining the filter’s optical surfaces.
