Who this filter is for

This ND8 (3 stop) filter suits creators who need reliable neutral density control for both video and photography. Use it when you want to reduce incoming light by three stops, retain accurate colors, and avoid reflections and flares that can degrade image quality.

Key features and benefits

• Pure fused quartz glass: Constructed from 99.9% pure fused quartz to provide high clarity and consistent color rendering, helping you capture sharp, true-to-life images.
• Neutral density control: ND8 (3 stop) strength reduces light by three stops, giving you control over exposure for motion blur, wider apertures in bright light, or maintaining shutter speed.
• Advanced multi-coating: PolarPro’s multi-coated surfaces reduce reflections, flares, and ghosting, which supports consistent image quality in challenging light.
• Durable aerospace-grade brass frame: The frame uses aerospace-grade brass for robustness and a premium feel. The knurled design makes attachment and removal easier on set.
• Scratch-resistant coating: A protective coating helps guard the optical surface against everyday wear, maintaining performance over time.
• Hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings: Water and oil repellent finishes make the filter easier to clean and more resistant to fingerprints, which is useful in rugged field conditions.
• Protective case included: The filter ships with a custom protective case to keep it safe during transport and storage.

Typical use cases

Use the PolarPro QuartzLine ND8 when filming cinematic sequences outdoors, shooting long-exposure landscapes, or when you need to reduce light to achieve a shallower depth of field in bright conditions. The filter supports both video workflows and still photography where accurate color and clarity matter.
