PolarPro CineBlack Filter Helix MagLock

PolarPro CineBlack Filter Helix MagLock – 1/2 Strength Black Mist for Cinematic Highlight Rolloff

PolarPro introduces the CineBlack Filter designed to deliver smooth, cinematic imagery while preserving deep shadow depth. The Helix MagLock version provides the CineBlack effect in a MagLock-compatible format and ships with protective storage.

Key features and visual effect

The CineBlack Filter uses a 1/2 strength black mist to alter how highlights and contrast render. As a result, you get a softer, more cinematic highlight rolloff and reduced sharp digital contrast between bright and dark areas. At the same time, the filter preserves deep shadow detail to maintain image depth.

Use CineBlack for both video and still photography. Whether you shoot motion or capture single frames, the filter brings a clean cinematic look to your images and footage. Additionally, CineBlack emulates the look of Kodak cinema film and comes with a custom color preset pack to help you refine the final image in post-production.

Design and availability

The CineBlack Filter debuts across multiple formats so you can match it to your workflow and lenses. PolarPro offers CineBlack in common thread sizes, larger formats, and a Helix MagLock form factor for modular mounting systems.
