Featuring an aluminum frame with small built-in magnets, the Kolari Vision UV/IR Cut Hot Mirror Filter for Canon RFfrom Kolari Vision UV/IR Cut Hot Mirror Filter for Canon RFsecures magnetically to the camera lens mount, and your lens then mounts on top. The filter sits securely between the camera and lens. It's compatible with the Canon EOS R, R5, R6, and RP. Specifically for the Canon RP camera, a mag mount accessory is included. The Canon RP doesn't have the steel elements necessary to support the magnetic attachment of this filter. The mag mount has adhesive strips that provide a solution.

The filter is designed to normalize your camera when it has either a full spectrum or two-spectrum modification. In either case, it allows light to pass normally to the sensor, so you can shoot normal photos.

The filter can only be used with a modified camera. A spectrum-modified camera is one in which the camera's native low-pass filter was removed in order to support certain IR filters for IR photography. If you have such a camera, this hot mirror filter will let you take normal photos without having to make any changes to the spectrum modification. The filter blocks IR light and some UV light, the same way the native low-pass filter that was removed from the camera during modification would have. The filter requires no exposure compensation.

The filter material is glass. A small removal tool is included but not required. The compact tool looks like a guitar pick and is included just in case, as the filter can easily be removed by hand. This clip-in filter can also be used in combination with the optional Kolari Canon RF to EF Drop-In Filter Adapter, which secures to the camera and holds a drop-in filter. When the clip-in filter is used together with the drop-in filter adapter, you can use two filters at the same time.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this work with the Canon R5c?

A: Yes, the Kolari Vision Magnetic Clip-In ND Filter for Canon RF-Mount Cameras (3-Stop) is compatible with the Canon EOS R5 C Mirrorless Cinema Camera. The Kolari Vision Mag Mount for Magnetic Clip-in Filter (Canon EOS R5, R6, R6ii, R3, R) would be recommended for this, BH #KOMMPCR563 (https://bhpho.to/3u9AAb3). Though the filters will work in the R5C without it, the mag mount is highly recommended for best functionality, additional strength, and protecting the baseplate from scratches.

Q: 4. would it achieve any result on a normal camera? (not full spectrum)

A: A full spectrum modification is required to be made to your camera. This entails manually removing the camera's low-pass filter and replacing it with a clear filter. Once that's done, this filter will work as intended. (Kolari Vision can make the modification for you at a cost if you send in your camera to them.) It will not work without removing the low pass filter.

Q: 5. Why is this not available in filter size 46mm when all other Kolari Vision lens filters are?

A: Kolari Vision does not list the reason, but checking the Kolari Vision IR Chrome Lens Filter does not come in 46mm size. You can get a larger size and use a step up ring. Like this filter, https://bhpho.to/3HlbjMQ and one of these step up rings, https://bhpho.to/3OdE1Uu.
