PolarPro Chroma VND/PL 2-5 Stop 77mm – Variable ND with Integrated Polarizer for Exposure and Reflection Control

The PolarPro Chroma PMVND/PL 2-5 Stop 77mm combines a variable neutral density (ND) filter with a polarizer in a single, compact filter. It lets photographers and filmmakers control exposure and reduce glare without switching filters. Use it for outdoor shoots where you need both light reduction and polarization in one tool.

Why choose this filter?

The Chroma PMVND/PL saves time on set by merging two functions into one. Consequently, you can adjust exposure and manage reflections quickly. Moreover, it works for both stills and video, helping you maintain consistent image quality across different shooting scenarios.

Key features and benefits

• 2-5 Stop Variable ND: Adjust light exposure between 2 and 5 stops to handle bright conditions and wide-aperture work while keeping consistent results.
• Integrated Polarizer: Reduce glare from reflective surfaces such as water and glass, and enhance color saturation for more vibrant outdoor scenes.
• Zero Cross Polarization: Prevent the “X-pattern” that sometimes appears with other ND filters, ensuring even light reduction across the frame.
• Durable, Precision Frame: The aerospace-grade aluminum frame provides smooth, precise adjustments and reliable durability for varied environments.
• ChromaSeries Glass: PolarPro’s premium, multi-coated optical glass promotes maximum sharpness and accurate color rendition without sacrificing image quality.
• Easy-to-Use Markings: Clear stop markings allow fast and precise adjustment of both ND and polarization settings, so you can capture the desired exposure quickly.

Typical use cases

Use this filter when you need to reduce light while also controlling reflections. For example, it suits landscape work where glare from water or wet surfaces reduces contrast, and it suits outdoor video where maintaining shutter and aperture settings matters. Because it combines two tools, it simplifies setups for shoots that demand mobility and speed.
