The PolarPro Helix ND64 (6-Stop) Filter gives photographers and filmmakers strong light reduction while maintaining perfect color accuracy for both photo and video. It combines neutral density control with the Helix Magnetic System to speed up filter changes in fast-paced shooting environments.
With 6 stops of light reduction, this ND filter lets you slow down shutter speeds even in bright outdoor conditions. As a result, you can capture long exposures and smooth motion blur in water, clouds, and other moving subjects. It also helps you control depth of field to achieve a more cinematic look.
The Helix Magnetic System provides quick and secure attachment to your setup. This system allows for fast filter swaps on set or during dynamic shoots, improving workflow and reducing downtime when lighting or composition changes rapidly. Note that Helix Base Plates are required for use with the Helix system.
PolarPro uses premium optical glass to deliver sharp images with true-to-life colors and minimal distortion. The filter mounts in a lightweight, durable frame that is built to withstand demanding conditions while remaining easy to handle and transport. These qualities make the Helix ND64 suitable for landscape work and outdoor motion-blur techniques.
