The 138mm Brilliant Rota-Pol Circular Polarizer from Lindsey Optics is mounted in a geared rotating filter tray using one stage in 4 x 5.65" matte boxes. Rotation of the polarizer can be done by spinning either of the two geared thumb wheels by hand, or with a motor mounted on the 1/4"-20 thread in the handle. The mechanical design includes an all-aluminum main gear in which the filter is mounted. The main gear is supported by internal Delrin rollers for smooth, no-slip rotation. The main gear is driven by aluminum thumb wheels that have standard 0.8 pitch gear teeth for use with motorized wireless remote systems. In matte boxes with a rotating stage, the Rota-Pol is quick to insert and once installed, is fast and easy to adjust, by hand or with a motor.

Lindsey Optics Brilliant-Pol Reviews
Great Polarizer
By RS
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2025-05-31
Minimal/close to no color cast, housing is a bit rattly compared to other similar Rota-Polas and filter shifts position a little with hard movement. Overall very decent.

There are 2 differents pola made by Lindsey Optics.
One with 1 stop (SKU: L-4565-1STOP-ROTAPOL) and the other one with 1,5 stop (L-4565-138-ROTAPOL).
This one is 1,5 stop.
For the 1,0 stop loss you have to go on the Lindsey Optics web site.
Same price by the way....
The B&H description is not accurate.
