The Kippertie REVOLVA L/PL is an advanced adapter that converts from native L-mount to industry standard PL, while incorporating an integrated ND filter system with bio-grade optics. The rotating filter cartridge offers four filter positions and allows quick switching between different ND or diffusion levels - directly between lens and camera.
Revolva L/PL functions as both a reliable adapter and a built-in ND system. Combining these two important functions in one unit minimizes the need for external filter holders, while making workflow faster and more efficient. The result is a compact solution with professional optical performance and accurate color balance.
The Revolva L/PL is designed to fit all L-mount cameras that have sufficient space above the lens mount - including the new Blackmagic Pyxis. Most modern PL lenses are compatible, and the included smart fitment tool makes it easy to verify the correct fit before mounting.
Each Revolva filter cartridge contains a four-position rotating filter for ND or diffusion, providing fast and precise control over exposure directly at the lens mount. The filters are of high optical quality and are designed to minimize color shifts and maintain sharpness in professional film productions.
Included is a sturdy universal support bracket that allows the PL mount to connect directly to a base plate or other support via 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads. Owners of the Blackmagic Pyxis can choose a special support that matches the height of the camera body, allowing mounting on the same base plate as the camera for maximum stability.
The grip-friendly PL ring can be complemented with a pair of interchangeable grip tabs, which can be placed in several different positions depending on user preference. This modular design makes it easy to adapt the adder to different rigs and working styles.
