The NiSi Cinema 4 x 5.65” (12mm) Variable Neutral Density 0.3-1.5 (1-5 Stops) Filter is a variable natural density filter with the range of 0.3-1.5 or 1-5 stops. It darkens the entire image, allowing a cinematographer to shoot with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed. The degree of density is easily controlled by rotating the gear or combining a large lens motor to control the density.  The aluminum and glass filter is 12mm thick and occupies two filter slots in a compatible 4 x 5.65″ matte box or can be used without a matte box. It offers 1 to 5 stops of neutral-color light reduction and features NiSi’s optical glass.  The gear features stop marks to identify the density.

The NiSi Cinema 4 x 5.65” (12mm) Variable Neutral Density 0.3-1.5 (1-5 Stops) Filter includes a 15mm support rod to mount the lens motor and soft case.

Please note the matte box and lens motor in the images are to demonstrate the use and are not included.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Amelia ★★★★★

I was skeptical about variable NDs after some bad experiences, but this one doesn’t introduce any color cast through the whole 5-stop range, and the hard stop at each end makes dialing in the right density effortless.

Jacob ★★★★★

Switching between 1 and 5 stops is incredibly smooth with this filter—no color shift that I can see. It handles highlights beautifully even in tricky midday sun, and the 12mm width works perfectly with my wide lens.

Benjamin ★★★★★

The 0.3-1.5 range gives me exactly the flexibility I need for outdoor shoots, and the rotation is smooth enough to fine-tune exposure mid-take without knocking the rig. I’ve had no color shift even at the full 5-stop setting, which is rare for a variable ND this size.
