PolarPro CineGold Filter Helix MagLock

PolarPro CineGold Filter Helix MagLock – Porta-inspired warm tones with gold-mist diffusion

The PolarPro CineGold Helix MagLock delivers a Porta-inspired cinematic look in a screw-in MagLock filter format. It reproduces the vintage aesthetic associated with Kodak Portra 400 film, adding warm mids, soft contrast and pastel rolloff directly at the lens. Filmmakers and photographers can use it to create consistent, film-like color and mood in-camera.

Key visual qualities

The CineGold emphasizes warm midtones and a soft contrast profile that echoes Portra aesthetics. Additionally, it introduces a 1/2 strength gold-mist diffusion that produces an organic bloom in highlights. This diffusion becomes especially noticeable during golden hour and in backlit settings, where highlights develop a gentle, cinematic glow.

LUT and preset bundle included

Every CineGold purchase ships with a custom LUT/preset collection. The bundle contains four ready-to-use color grades that complement the filter and speed up your workflow. The included grades are:

• Portra 400 Cine
• Golden Hour
• Dream Chrome
• Gold Fade

These LUTs and presets work alongside the filter to give you consistent looks straight out of the box, reducing time spent matching color in post.

The CineGold combines precision glass with a weather-sealed aluminum frame. PolarPro uses Chroma glass made in Germany to ensure optical clarity. Multiple coatings protect the glass and help maintain image quality in the field.

Use cases and benefits

For example, apply the filter when shooting portraits, narrative scenes or landscape sequences to achieve warmer skin tones and smoother highlight rolloff. Moreover, pair the filter with the included LUTs to achieve consistently graded footage faster.
