The PolarPro Recon Variable ND Matte Box System Director's Kitfrom PolarPro Recon Variable ND Matte Box System Director's Kitwas engineered to eliminate the hassle of lugging around a full-size matte box while still providing the speed and versatility needed when out filming in varying lighting conditions. Powerful light control and unrivaled setup time at just a fraction of the footprint, this director's kit revolutionizes the space between a full-size matte box, standalone variable neutral density filter, mist filter, and blue streak filter.

Compact Matte Box System    Aero Hood Matte Box with Shade    3 to 6+ Stop Variable ND Filter    1/4 Mist and BlueMorphic Effect Filters    Compatible with Recon Stage 2 Filters    82mm Thread Base

Featuring an aluminum lever lock, the Aero Hood is slotted to reduce wind drag when shooting on aerial or vehicle rigs. The carbon fiber flag can be adjusted to block different light angles for reduced lens flare.

The 82mm base acts as a mounting point for Stage 2 filters and the Aero Hood, creating an ultra-minimal matte box setup.

This filter provides 3 to 6 stops of neutral density with no cross-polarization. When used with lenses with focal lengths beyond 35mm, maximum density of up to 7.5 stops may be achieved. It provides haptic feedback for precise results.

Compatible with both the VND base and the 82mm Thread Base, the Recon Stage 2 filters are designed to allow fast filter swaps, without worrying about filter threading or touching any glass.

This mist filter smooths highlights and gives a subtle bloom to light sources. The filter has 1/4 diffusion strength.

This filter creates stunning anamorphic-style blue streak cinematic effects, most effective on bright point of light sources, like car headlights.

The Defender caps offer 360° protection. The front cap slides over the variable ND or threaded base to protect the filter and any additional Stage 2 filters when the Aero Hood is not attached.
