The Most Flexible Neutral Density Filter

The NiSi True Color Variable ND provides the convenience of a filter that can be used in multiple situations, an all-in-one filter.

Its primary purpose is to reduce the amount of light entering the camera. While a fixed ND reduces a fixed amount of light, this variable ND can reduce the light from 1 to 5 stops, making it the perfect ND for various shooting conditions and scenes.

Easily adjust the filter to control the amount of light entering the camera by rotating the filter's front ring without affecting the image's color or sharpness.

The True Color Variable ND is perfect for photographers shooting in situations where there is changing or shifting light, and control of the shutter speed for longer exposures or shallower depth of field is a priority. For video production, the frictionless rotating elements ensure that desired frame rates or depth of field can be easily and quickly adjusted without any vibration or shake being introduced into the videos.

The Benefit of True Color

We designed the NiSi True Color VARIO-ND to produce true-to-life, accurate colors with no noticeable color shifting or color cast often seen with other Variable ND filters.

The need for post-processing time for color correction is reduced, with white balance and color temperature appearing truly neutral - ensuring the best possible image quality for both video and still photography!

Design That Makes a Difference

The knurled edges of the lightweight, machined aluminum frame of the NiSi True Color VARIO-ND allow for improved gripping, ease of removal, and installation.

The True Color Variable ND features a removable stainless steel control handle that allows quick and smooth density adjustments during filming. In addition, the control handle ensures fingers don't accidentally end up in the shot as the density changes.

Markings on the outside of the thin aluminum frame accurately display density variations. When rotating the front element throughout its full density range, a tactile "hard" stop can be felt at 1 and 5 stops for feedback for exposure or aperture settings when shooting. The hard stops also prevent the front element from being rotated too far in either direction, providing more accurate control to minimize over or under-exposure of your imagery.

NO Vignetting

Variable ND filters are technically two individual polarising filters, with the front element being able to be rotated independently of the back. The design of variable ND filters means that vignetting can often be seen as the two elements act as two stacked circular filters.

The NiSi True Color VARIO-ND filter has been designed with a larger front filter thread - and this combined with the thin aluminum frame ensures no vignetting can be seen on ultra-wide or longer telephoto lenses!

Nano Coating

The glass elements of the NiSi True Color VARIO-ND are manufactured from the highest quality optical glass, offering incredible sharpness, clarity, resolution, and aberration-free imagery. The NiSi Nano Coating provides a waterproof, smudge-proof, anti-reflective layer and easy to clean. It helps to ensure optimal overall image quality, ease of cleaning and longevity of your filter investment.

What does a variable ND filter do?

A variable neutral density filter blocks the quantity of light coming through the camera. Since it is variable, you can quickly and easily rotate the front ring to dial in the right exposure from 1 to 5 stops. Variable ND filters are the perfect tool for photographers wanting to get more out of long exposures and for videographers wanting to control the light when shooting.

Why use a variable ND filter?

For photographers and videographers, an ND Vario filter lets you quickly adjust the exposure without switching filters since multiple stops are already built in. Using a variable ND filter, you’ll be better able to capture scenes where the light is shifting. A variable ND filter can also help you save money as you won’t need to buy separate filters with different strengths.

Which variable ND filter should I buy?

NiSi variable neutral density filters should be on your gear list. They're available in various sizes and compatible with a vast array of cameras and lenses, so there's sure to be one that's right for you. In addition, NiSi ND Vario filters have a mid-point price range, providing excellent value for money for such a high-quality product. Visit our shop to browse our variable ND filters.

NO Vignetting

Should I buy a fixed or variable ND filter?

If you’re a landscape photographer, you may prefer a fixed ND filter that is more suitable for shooting wide-angle images. If you’re a videographer, photojournalist or travel photographer, a variable neutral density filter may be more appealing because of its speed, flexibility and convenience. You’ll be able to achieve shots you wouldn’t normally be able to get. A variable ND filter gives you more bang for your buck as you can avoid buying multiple fixed ND filters at different strengths. If you're unsure which type of ND filter best suits your needs, contact NiSi for advice.
