Featuring an aluminum frame with small built-in magnets, the Kolari Vision IR Hotspot Filter for Canon RF Camerasfrom Kolari Vision IR Hotspot Filter for Canon RF Camerassecures 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.

Designed for full-spectrum modified or IR-dedicated cameras, this HSK filter removes hotspots that may result in IR photography. A hotspot is like a small circle in the middle of the image, appearing as if caused by reverse vignetting. Hotspots happen when you use lenses that don't prevent them, lenses that aren't necessarily ideal for IR photography. This filter enhances such lenses to remove hotspots. It achieves this by using very specific IR coating combined with a 4-stop ND factor.

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.

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.)
