NiSi Filter Swift System VND / Black Mist Kit 95mm

NiSi Filter Swift System VND / Black Mist Kit 95mm – VND, ND16 and Black Mist for variable exposure and soft diffusion

This NiSi Swift System kit bundles a variable neutral density (VND) filter, a Swift ND16 (4-stop) and a Swift Black Mist 1/4, plus the Swift adapter ring, a front protection and a compact storage bag. The components attach with a push-on system for fast setup and flexible combinations.

What the kit contains

• 1 × NiSi True Color VND 1-5 stops filter
• 1 × NiSi Filter Swift System ND16 (4 stop) filter
• 1 × NiSi Filter Swift System Black Mist 1/4
• 1 × NiSi Swift adapter ring
• 1 × front protection
• 1 × small bag to store your filters in

Quick setup and stacking options

Attach filters quickly by pushing them on. You can use the ND16 and Black Mist as stand-alone filters, or mount them with the Swift adapter ring. You can also add the NiSi True Color VND 1-5 stops to the setup.

When you combine the NiSi True Color VND 1-5 stop filter with the NiSi Swift System ND16 (4 stop) filter, you achieve an effective variable ND range of 5–9 stops. Additionally, you may place the NiSi Swift System Black Mist 1/4 in front of that combination, or directly on the VND 1-5 stop filter for diffusion.

Compatibility and vignetting guidance

NiSi provides specific guidance for wide-angle use to avoid vignetting when combining filters. Follow these compatibility points:

• The NiSi True Color VND 1-5 stop filter can be used on lenses down to 16mm focal length (Full Frame) without vignetting.
• The NiSi True Color VND 1-5 stop filter in combination with the NiSi Swift System ND16 (4 stop) filter can be used on lenses down to 18mm focal length (Full Frame) without vignetting.
• The NiSi True Color VND 1-5 stop filter in combination with the NiSi Swift System ND16 (4 stop) filter and NiSi Swift System Black Mist 1/4 can be used on lenses down to 20mm focal length (Full Frame) without vignetting.

NiSi True Color VND 1-5 Stops — key features

This variable neutral density filter offers 1 to 5 EV of exposure reduction with a stepless ND factor controlled by turning the filter. The density is easy to adjust by rotating the front filter ring, and you can use the included silver lever or remove it if you prefer.

The VND includes built-in stops at the end positions so you know the filter’s limits during action use. For repeatable settings, the front ring is visually marked with numbers corresponding to different stop values. Silver side knurlings give a secure grip for installation and removal.

For video and cinema work, you can combine aperture changes with this VND to fine-tune depth of field while maintaining your chosen frame rate. The filter uses an advanced nano coating that repels water, grease and dirt, making cleaning easier. A thin aluminum filter ring reduces the risk of vignetting on wide-angle lenses while keeping the filter light and durable.

• True Color result that avoids color shift seen in other variable filters
• No “X” effect
• Optional rotating lever that can be removed

NiSi Filter Swift System ND16 (4 stops) — features

The Swift System ND16 provides 4 stops of full spectrum neutral density. It gives true color transmittance and benefits from nano coating that is waterproof and antireflective. The ND16 also features a NEW Multi-Ti Coating that increases scratch resistance and improves anti-glare performance.

NiSi Filter Swift System Black Mist 1/4 — features

The Swift System Black Mist 1/4 creates a soft, pastel-like quality of light and includes an extra layer of black specks. It preserves more image detail compared to traditional diffusion filters while producing the diffusion effect. The surface also has nano coating for waterproof and antireflective protection.

NiSi Swift adapter ring

The Swift adapter ring is designed for use with the Swift Black Mist and Swift ND16 when you are not using the NiSi True Color VND 1-5 stops filter. Use the adapter ring to mount the Swift System filters securely and to keep the push-on workflow simple.

Use cases and practical notes

Photographers and videographers can use this kit to control exposure precisely and to shape the look of highlights and skin tones with soft diffusion. The VND allows larger apertures or longer shutter speeds under brighter conditions. The Swift System filters attach quickly for fast changes on set or in the field.

FAQ

question: How do I attach the Swift System filters?
Answer: The filters push on for quick mounting. Use the Swift adapter ring when you fit the Swift ND16 or Swift Black Mist without the NiSi True Color VND 1-5 stops filter.

question: Can I stack the filters and get more ND strength?
Answer: Yes. Combining the NiSi True Color VND 1-5 stops with the NiSi Swift System ND16 (4 stop) gives an effective 5–9 stop range. You can also add the Black Mist 1/4 in front of that combination or place it directly on the VND filter.

question: Will these combinations vignette on wide-angle lenses?
Answer: NiSi lists compatibility. The VND alone is usable down to 16mm (Full Frame) without vignetting. VND plus ND16 is usable down to 18mm, and the combination with Black Mist is usable down to 20mm (Full Frame).

question: Is the VND lever required for operation and can it be removed?
Answer: The silver lever helps you predetermine density changes, but it is optional and can be removed if you prefer to control the front ring directly.
