Variable ND Filter

A neutral density (ND) filter reduces light to control exposure, and a variable ND (VND) filter simplifies this process by allowing you to adjust the light reduction with a simple twist. The ProMaster Basis VND filter offers light reduction from 2 to 8 f-stops and can be adjusted to any point between. In both photography and videography, limiting light is essential for creative control. For instance, in still photography, a VND filter enables slower shutter speeds to create motion blur, like blurring water to suggest movement. In videography, where shutter speed is often fixed, a VND filter allows the use of a large aperture for shallow depth of field in bright conditions while maintaining proper exposure. Additionally, all ProMaster Basis filters feature the same filter thread on both sides, ensuring compatibility with lens caps and other filters. These filters are not only optically excellent but also affordable, offering outstanding value for photographers and videographers alike.

Edward ★★★★★

I was skeptical about a variable ND at this price, but the 2 to 8 stop range covers everything from golden hour to midday without me swapping filters. Twisting the ring is smooth and clicks feel precise, so no accidental shifts mid-shot. It’s now a permanent part of my kit.

Aurora ★★★★★

The stepless adjustment on this filter is so smooth and precise, I easily dialed in the exact exposure for a bright midday beach video without any color cast. It’s sturdy and the 2-8 stop range covers everything I need for run-and-gun shooting.

Evelyn W. ★★★★★

Was adjusting exposure mid-shot without swapping filters, and this one let me dial from 2 to 8 stops smoothly. No weird color cast even at the darkest setting. Exactly what I needed for run-and-gun filming.
