This Schneider 8.455" Rain Deflector Filteris designed for use in motorized, motion-picture camera rain deflector systems that utilize a 8.455" diameter, 0.125"-thick, clear filter.

When placed within a compatible rain defector system that is positioned in front of a motion-picture camera lens, the Schneider 8.455" Rain Deflector Filter can be rotated at high speeds. This high-speed rotation creates a centrifugal, vacuum effect which immediately removes rain or snow that comes into contact with the filter's front surface. Film or video footage can then be obtained under inclement weather without having to stop the motion-picture camera for periodic cleaning of the lens in use.

Constructed from water white optical glass for clarity and color fidelity, this filter is unmounted for use in third-party or custom mounting rings and is laminated for shatter-resistance.

Q: 8. What's the difference between the Linear and Circular versions of 4 x 5.65 please? Do they both require a matte box with a rotating filter tray?

A: Here Linear and Circular refer to the type of Polarizing film in the filter. The confusing Circular term actually has nothing to do with the shape of the filter. It can be round or rectangular, it does not matter. A Linear Polarizer is be used in cameras without auto focus or auto exposure. A Circular Polarizer is to be use in today's digital cameras with their auto focus and auto exposure. You will need a filter holder/matte box with a rotating 4 x 5.56 to use this size Polarizer. However, we recommend that instead of a rectangular Polarizer filter, using a round one for it is much more practical, i.e., easier to use.

Q: 9. Does rotating the filter change it’s effect?

A: Yes, you insert the filter in a holder and rotate the holder to achieve the desired effect, ie; removing reflections from glass or water as well as saturating colors, etc...
