Make your exposure control effortless with Unicorn Films’ Tiffen Variable ND Filter, a professional‑grade, adjustable neutral density designed for both photography and cinematography. By rotating the precision‑machined outer ring, you can vary the light reduction from roughly 2 to 8 stops, replacing an entire ND kit with one filter. This flexibility is ideal for maintaining a consistent shutter speed or aperture while adapting quickly to changing light conditions.
Built with Tiffen’s industry‑trusted ColorCore process, the Variable ND ensures high optical quality, exceptional neutrality, and minimal image degradation. The two‑polarizer design delivers smooth density adjustment, allowing natural control for everything from subtle exposure tweaks to dramatic motion‑blur effects. For video shooters, it makes it simple to hold a 180° shutter relative to frame rate while working in bright outdoor environments, resulting in fluid, cinematic motion.
The slim profile helps reduce vignetting on wide lenses, while the robust metal housing and fluid rotation provide reliable handling during frequent adjustments. Front threads allow easy mounting of lens caps or select accessory filters, giving you more rigging flexibility on set. This makes it a perfect fit for mirrorless and DSLR kits, cinema rigs, and even lightweight gimbals where compact, efficient setups are essential.
In still photography, the Tiffen Variable ND excels for long exposures think silky waterfalls, blurred traffic trails, or smooth ocean textures even under harsh midday sunlight. For portrait and fashion work outdoors, it enables shooting at wider apertures to keep backgrounds beautifully defocused without overexposing the shot.
Book your Tiffen Variable ND Filter from Unicorn Films and get a professionally inspected unit, step‑up rings for multiple lens sizes, and on‑set support tips for achieving flawless exposure control every time.
