NiSi True Color Variable ND 1-5 Stops Overview

Enjoy finer exposure control with minimal color shift by adding an 82mm True Color ND-VARIO Pro Nano 1 to 5-Stop Variable ND Filter from NiSi to your kit. These filters are designed to reduce exposure while maintaining "True Color" with minimal color shift. Their 1 to 5-stop ND range has hard stops at each end that will ensure the "X" effect will not appear in your images. Being able to seamlessly adjust exposure will ensure the images are being captured at their best quality.

The filter is made of high-definition optical glass and features NiSi Nano coating that offers anti-reflective properties to reduce flare and ghosting. Also, the filter is water- and oil-resistant to make it easy to clean and shoot in inclement weather. The lens comes with a removable rotating lever for easier operation. The larger, 86mm front filter thread allows an additional filter to be stacked on front of this filter with only a minimal chance of vignetting when used with wide-angle lenses. It is recommended that this filter is used on 35mm (full-frame equivalent, 28mm for APS-C) or longer focal length lenses.

Does the filter have a threaded front element to allow for additional filter be threaded on the front?
Asked by: Jose
The NiSi 82mm True Color ND-VARIO Pro Nano 1-5 Stop Variable Neutral Density Filter has 86mm front threads. The 86mm front filter thread is larger than the rear thread to reduce the chance of vignetting on wide-angle lenses. It is recommended that this filter is used on 35mm or longer focal lengths lenses.

Can I combine this with a Nisi circular polarizer? which should be in front (which determines size i need)?
Asked by: John
The CPL for the True Color 1-5 ND-Vario Swift filter is NITVNDSTPL82. It's friction based and attaches directly in front of the nd-vario filter without having to thread it into place. It's very easy to attach and detach and minimizes vignetting better than a standard threaded lens. Search NITVNDSTPL82 on B&H for the NiSi Swift True Color Pro Nano CPL for True Color VND and Swift System (82mm).

when the 6-9 ND comes out, can it be COMBINED with the 1-5 (=14)? with threads or friction: will i need 86mm to put with 82 1-5?
Asked by: John
The NiSi True Color ND-Vario 1-5 stop is part of the Swift system. It has a variable ND between 1 to 5 stops. You can purchase an additional solid 4 stop ND filter that slides onto the front of the ND-Vario which converts it to a 5-9 stop ND-Vario and can easily be removed via the friction based system. The add-on filters like the 4 stop do not have filter threads. The base ND-Vario 1-5 does have front filter threads that are one size larger. For example, an 82mm ND-Vario filter has an 86mm front filter thread. I hope this answers your question.

Round screw on filters like the NiSi True Color ND-VARIO Pro Nano 1 to 5-Stop Variable ND Filter are supported by the Tilta Marage Matte-Box when using the correct ring attachment. The following ring will support 82mm screw on filters. However, a much better choice is the Tilta VND which is made for the Mirage Matte-box.
