This 4 x 5.65" SmallRig Cine ND Filter 4x5.65 1-Stopfrom SmallRig Cine ND Filter 4x5.65 1-Stopis an ND0.3 neutral density filter that produces a 1 f-stop exposure reduction, making it possible to reduce shutter speed for added blur when shooting still images, or for finer control over frame rate when shooting video. In addition, shooting at a wider aperture to reduce depth of field helps isolate the image subject from the background. This filter is compatible with any 4 x 5.65" matte box or filter holder that has a filter slot for 4mm-thick filters.

Made with high-clarity, high-transmission B270 optical glass, this filter is precisely ground and polished for use with lenses of various focal lengths without compromising image sharpness. The filter is coated on both sides with multilayer nano-coating to reduce lens flare and optimize light transmission. The coatings are also mildewproof and water resistant, toughened to prevent stains, and easy to clean, making the filter ideal for use in harsh environments.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Are the filters IRND?

A: SmallRig VND Filter Set for Star-Trail and Revo-Arcane Matte Boxes is not an IRND filter. It's a set of two CPL filters that create a singular variable neutral density filter with 1 to 8 stops of light control.

Q: 2. Will these filters work with Smallrig's Mini Matte boxes (the older models)? If not what VNDs would work with those matte boxes?

A: No, the SmallRig VND Filter Set for Star-Trail and Revo-Arcane Matte Boxes is designed specifically for the Star-Trail and Revo-Arcane Matte Boxes. There does not appear to be a VND for the SmallRig Mini Matte Box but you may be able to use a circular VND with the matte box.

Q: 3. does this already come with the frame or I have to purchase the frame separately?

A: You will need to purchase the frame separately.

Q: 4. I have a 6x6 Scrim Jim how do I tell if it is the old or new version? And will this fit if I have the old version?

A: Great question, William. The old version of Scrim Jim used 3/4" thick framing and the frames connected to each other using a tension fit. The new version (Scrim Jim Cine) uses a thicker 1" frame and connects using a positive locking system. The new system also has corners that are NOT built into the frame, like they were in the original version. The sizing of diffusion silks are not the same for the new version, as we standardized the sizing to what is common in the industry for the Scrim Jim Cine lineup.

Q: 5. Is the 1-1/4 stop fabric thick enough to beam a small source light into it, and not have a hotspot? I'd like to use an Astra 6X at around 4ft away to result in a large even light source

A: That should be a good distance to get a even light onto the diffuser and not have a hotspot.

Q: 6. Will the variable ND be affected if the linear polariser is NOT perpendicular to the circular one? (I.e the linear Pol is positioned on a tilt as is the case with the Bright Tangerine Misfit Atom Pola+ tilt adaptor). Thanks!

A: Yes positioning the filter at an angle will affect your results.

Q: 7. are the 4x4 plain diffusion cloths seamless?

A: Yes, the Westcott Scrim Jim Cine 1/4-Stop Diffuser Fabric (4 x 4') comes with a seamless fabric.

Q: 8. Will this fit the classic less robust "non-cine" 6x6 scrim jim?

A: No, this Scrim Jim fabric is only for the Scrim Jim Cine frame.

Q: 9. Curious when is grid cloth better than plain cloth? Understand the difference but seeking the why. Thanks.

A: Grid cloth diffuses the light while making it more directional versus standard diffusion which simply spreads the light as needed.

Q: 10. I don't understand the amount of stops reduced, is it variable from 1 to 1/4?

A: This fabric is not variable, it reduces 1.25 stops of light.
