PolarPro Arctic CP Benjamin Hardman Helix MagLock

PolarPro Arctic CP Benjamin Hardman Helix MagLock – 45% light transmission for improved polarization in low light

PolarPro Arctic CP is a high-quality polarizing filter developed in collaboration with renowned photographer Benjamin Hardman. It has been tested under extreme conditions in Greenland and is specifically designed for filmmakers and photographers working in cold and demanding environments. With a light transmission of 45%, this filter provides improved exposure in low light, making it an excellent choice for capturing clear and detailed images even on cloudy days or in snowy landscapes.

Features & Benefits

• 45% light transmission – Arctic CP allows 45% of incoming light to pass through, making it half a stop brighter than traditional polarizers. This results in improved exposure in low light conditions, ideal for photography without adjusting other camera settings.
• Chroma Polarization Technology – With this technology, the filter ensures that color reproduction remains true to life without color shifts, so your images retain their natural tones even when polarizing reflections and glare.
• 110° short stroke rotation – The short stroke rotation allows for quick and precise adjustments, enabling you to find the perfect polarization point up to five times faster than with long stroke polarizers. This enhances workflow in changing light conditions.
• Glove-friendly grip – With an oversized and textured ring, you get a secure and tactile grip, which is especially useful in cold temperatures. This makes it easy to adjust polarization even when wearing gloves or mittens.
• Thin, hood-compatible frame – The low profile of the frame ensures that the filter is compatible with most lens hoods, allowing you to polarize without blocking the wide-angle area or sacrificing sun protection.
• Available sizes – Arctic CP is available in several sizes and mounting options to fit various lenses: 49mm, 67mm, 77mm, 82mm, 86Cmm, 95Cmm, as well as a Helix MagLock mounting option.

Practical Applications and Workflow Benefits

Use the Arctic CP filter when you need clearer skies, reduced reflections, or better contrast in snowy and cloudy scenes. Since the filter allows more light, you can maintain faster shutter speeds or lower ISO settings without losing the benefits of polarization. The glove-friendly grip and short stroke rotation allow you to quickly adapt to changing conditions on site.
