NiSi 4 x 5.65" Nano IRND 2.1 Filter (7-Stop)
Key Features
  • 128x Filter Factor, 7-Stop
  • Darkens Entire Image
  • Allows Reduced Shutter Speed
  • Allows Wider Aperture
The NiSi 4 x 5.65" Nano IRND 2.1 Filter is an ND filter with a 128x filter factor that provides a 7-stop exposure reduction. Its 2.1 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required. By slowing your exposure time or increasing your aperture, you are able to control depth of field and convey movement more easily. Neutral density filters are intended to not affect the coloration of the image and are ideal for pairing with other filters.

NiSi Nano Overview

The NiSi 4 x 5.65" Nano IRND 2.1 Filter is an ND filter with a 128x filter factor that provides a 7-stop exposure reduction. Its 2.1 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required. By slowing your exposure time or increasing your aperture, you are able to control depth of field and convey movement more easily. Neutral density filters are intended to not affect the coloration of the image and are ideal for pairing with other filters.

The design of this filter has been optimized for use with digital sensors and to promote nearly flat attenuation of visible and infrared light. Due to imaging sensors' greater susceptibility to infrared light, compared to traditional film, color casts can occur when photographing darker subjects that require increased exposure times. To provide a high level of neutrality across the visible and infrared spectrums in order to eliminate color casts and ensure cleaner, truer blacks when using the NiSi 4 x 5.65" Nano IRND 2.1 Filter, one layer of NiSi Optical Nano Coating is applied to each of this filter's surfaces.

This NiSi 4 x 5.65" Nano IRND 2.1 Filter is constructed from optical glass for clarity as well as color fidelity, and measures 4mm thick.

NiSi Nano Reviews

Chipped after 3 months.

Save your money and buy something better. These filters chipped after only being on a handful of shoots. The lack of a sandwich style design means the IR coating will come off first.

Great value

This filter went beyond my expectations given its price point. Until now, i have been using variable ND filters on my SLR lenses on a Red Raven cinema camera. The variable filters were handy, but anything past 3 or so stops and I would see major colour oddities. Mainly in the shadow regions, a hint of blue. I wanted a filter that would work in daylight, at various FPS and this comes pretty close. If I'm shooting 120fps, it barely cuts it in the sun, and in the clouds its too dark. Otherwise it looks great. I will hopefully be investing in a kit to cover all my bases in the future.

Great filter.  Fits nicely in the iKan mini-matte.

I use this (and other NiSi IRND filters) in an iKan mini matte box.

very nice glass

Fits tightly in the Tilta mini-matte box and gives an excellent image - and increased the control over the lighting.

Does this fits Tilta 4 x 5.65" Stackable Filter Tray Holder (BH #TIMBT16SFH)?
Asked by: Jaime J
According to Tilta, the Mirage-system supports 2mm and 4mm filters like this Nano IRND 2.1 filter. The issue with your question, however, is that the stackable filter tray holder is not the device you need to hold the filter. You need TIMBT16SFT (stackable filter tray) AND TIMBT16SFH (stackable filter tray HOLDER) to work with the Mirage matte box.
