Tilta MB-T16-VND Overview

Reduce the exposure of your image without touching the iris, ISO, or shutter speed by using the 95mm Variable ND Filter for Mirage Matte Box from Tilta. It slides into the Mirage, or it can be clamped directly onto a 95mm lens with the Lightweight Filter Clamp-On Adapter (available separately).

The Variable ND reduces the exposure by 1 to 9 stops, enabling you to keep the iris wide open for a shallow depth of field, abide by the 180° rule regarding shutter speed, and optimize your ISO to boost dynamic range. Rotate the VND, either by hand or via an optional wireless motor, to find the density that blocks the maximum amount of extraneous light, freeing the other elements of the camera to pursue a specific artistic effect.

Color Fidelity throughout Entire Range
This variable ND filter is designed to have a minimal impact on the color of the light that reaches your sensor.
For the Mirage Matte Box
This variable ND slides snugly into the Tilta Mirage, ensuring that a lens with a 95mm front diameter is perfectly covered. Alternatively, it can be clamped directly onto the lens via the Lightweight Filter Clamp-On Adapter (available separately).
Compatible with the Wireless Motor
The module that controls the VND rotation is compatible with the Tilta Wireless Motor (available separately), enabling camera operators to remotely control the variable ND's rotation to find its desired effect.
The Physics of Variable Neutral Density Filters
Variable NDs consist of two polarized layers that block increasingly more light the closer to perpendicular they are to one another. This ND has hard stops before reaching the maximum and minimum settings to prevent unwanted X-pattern interference and reduce autofocus and light metering issues caused by the polarized layers.

Tilta MB-T16-VND Reviews

I prefer the Vaxis IRND filters

By David
Rated 2 out of 5
Date: 2026-08-03

While I like the convenience of a variable ND filter, this one produces a strong red cast in the shadows and blacks. This is not uncommon with VND filters, and the red contamination can be very hard to clean up in post in a color grade. The individual Vaxis IRND filters don't have the red contamination problem. Individual NDs are less convenient than a VND filter, but worth the effort.

Huge Upgrade for my FX30

By Charles

This Variable ND Filter works great for any situation. I mostly use it with my FX30. It's like having an internal VND which is a huge upgrade for the FX30 camera. Quickly being able to change the ND value has proven to be an invaluable commodity while shooting on the fly. Color shift seems to be minimal. I have yet to get any type of complaint from any editor/colorist. (Color shifts are inevitable with any filter, but this filter's shift is negligible from 1-stop all the way to 9-stops.)

No, The Tilta MB-T12 mattebox would not work with Titlta Mirage filters. The following matte box model supports the Mirage matte box filters. https://bhpho.to/3tbs4W8
