NiSi Cine Drop-In Filter Clear Streak – Creates prominent horizontal streaks from point light sources

The NiSi Cine Drop-In Filter Clear Streak is designed specifically for NiSi ATHENA lenses. It creates prominent, elongated streaks that are symmetric and extend horizontally from point light sources within a scene. Use it when you need controlled, cinematic streaks from highlights while working with Athena drop-in filter lenses.

Design and build

The filter is crafted from high-grade optical glass and encased in a robust yet lightweight aluminum frame. It’s built to endure the rigors of the field while delivering impeccable cinematic quality. The construction balances optical performance with practical durability for regular on-set use.

Fit and compatibility

NiSi designed this drop-in filter to fit snugly in the Athena lenses’ drop-in filter slot. Consequently, it integrates with the lens as an extension of the optical system rather than as an external accessory. It is compatible with NiSi ATHENA Full Frame Primes that include a Drop-In Filter Slot.

Portability and handling

To support mobility, the NiSi ATHENA Drop-In Filters come with a convenient carry case. The case makes transport simple and helps keep the filter accessible when you move between locations, ensuring it’s ready when inspiration strikes.
