PolarPro Helix ND64 (6-Stop) / PL Filter – 6-Stop Light Reduction with Polarization

The PolarPro Helix ND64 (6-Stop) / PL Filter combines neutral density and polarization in a single hybrid filter. It reduces incoming light by 6 stops while providing polarization to minimize glare and manage reflections. Use it for both photo and video to control exposure in bright outdoor environments.

Why use this hybrid ND/PL filter?

This filter lets you achieve long exposures, control motion blur, and retain detail in high-contrast scenes. Furthermore, the polarization helps reduce glare from water, glass, and other reflective surfaces, so you capture richer, more controlled visuals in challenging light.
