Featuring a new standard 95mm clamp on backing that can be mounted directly onto compatible classic cinema lenses such as ARRI Ultra Primes, Leica Summicron-C, etc., as well as adaptable to more accessible DSLR and Mirrorless Lenses, to support all video creators. Our new circular filter design is more cost efficient due to its lighter weight and smaller size, weighing only 1/4th of a traditional 4x5.65 filter. As Light as One 4x5.65 Filter Inherited from the film industry, the cartridge filter design replaces the conventional screw-on filter system and can be quickly installed with a single press. The system supports a variety of special effect circular filters, such as star patterns, multi-colored streaks, anamorphic flares, black and white pro mists, and other lens effects that can fully support all aspects of your creative vision for modern video production. Featuring a newly designed Variable ND module (optional), developed in close collaboration with top tier optical manufacturers, the VND module accommodates multiple configurations, the lightest being only 130g. Using new PL + CPL technology, the VND module can produce accurate colors even at its maximum density. The Variable ND can be gradually adjusted, allowing you to keep consistent exposure when lighting conditions change unexpectedly. The module has built-in hard stops between ND 0.3 ~ ND 2.7 to ensure no risk of an X-Pattern Cross Shadow. Features New Insert Style Filter Design Light weight and more efficient than screw-in filters. More user-friendly for video production. 4x5.65 Ready For Front Filter Mounting 4×5.65 stackable filter trays and holder are available for purchase, if multiple filters are needed. Ready To Mount Special FX Filters Various filter manufacturers have set off to develop for this new standard of filter system, such as Vaxis, Nisi, etc. Vaxis has already developed an anamorphic flare filter, black pro-mist, pro-mist, NDs, etc. Pair The VND Module With Nano Motor When you choose Kit B, you are able to use the included Nucleus Nano Motor Adapter to secure a Nucleus Nano motor directly to the VND module in order to adjust the density wirelessly.
