This filter aims to help you focus on composition and motion without repeatedly changing camera settings.

Who this filter is for

Whether you are a professional or an enthusiast, the PMVND Edition II is designed to suit both photography and filmmaking needs. Use it for landscape shoots in strong sunlight, cinematic shallow-depth sequences, or situations where maintaining a consistent exposure is essential.

Key features and how they help you

• 2-5 Stop Light Control: Dial between 2 and 5 stops to manage exposure in bright environments, making it suitable for outdoor shoots or when working with wide apertures.
• Defender360 Protection: The filter ships with a fully enclosed, hard cover and a soft case to protect it from dust, scratches, and impacts, so it stays ready for travel and field use.
• Zero Cross Polarization: The filter reduces the risk of the “X-pattern” seen with some variable ND filters, helping you achieve even light reduction across the frame.
• Precision Machined Frame: Built with an aerospace aluminum frame for durability and smooth operation, engineered to withstand professional use.
• CinemaSeries Glass: Uses PolarPro’s premium multi-coated glass designed for sharpness and color neutrality, helping maintain accurate colors in your images and footage.
• Easy Adjustment: Machined indicator markings on the filter make it simple to track settings and repeat results consistently.

Practical use cases

In bright conditions, you can quickly reduce light without changing aperture or shutter speed. For cinematic shallow-depth shots, the filter lets you keep a wide aperture while controlling exposure. When filming motion or fast-moving scenes, you can maintain consistent exposure across takes simply by adjusting the filter.
