About This Item
You can now elevate your photography skills with the Peter McKinnon Chroma Helix Maglock VND/PL Filter, a revolutionary product that combines the benefits of a Variable Neutral Density (VND) filter and a Polarizer. This innovative filter, designed in collaboration with renowned photographer Peter McKinnon, is crafted to reduce glare and reflections, while also adjusting shutter speeds to cinematic levels.The adjustable polarizer in this filter provides a sharp, clean look to your images, while the VND feature allows you to dial in precise exposure for outdoor shooting. The filter is equipped with our latest Chroma Glass, a unique feature that enables us to integrate a Polarizer into the Variable ND, resulting in extremely neutral color accuracy.The VND/PL filter also comes with additional variations such as the 1/4 Black Mist or 1/8 Gold Mist, which add a subtle diffusion to surrounding highlights. The built-in polarizer in the Chroma Glass element of McKinnon's staple filter, the VND, rotates independently from the VND, enabling you to adjust from no polarization to full polarization.One of the key features of this filter is the Independent Polarization, which allows you to custom tune your polarization to each scene. Whether you want it disengaged from the image or fully engaged for maximum glare reduction, the creative control is in your hands.The Chroma Series Glass, a new glass formula, produces unrivaled color accuracy and allows us to combine a Polarizer with a Variable ND into a single filter. The VND/PL filter allows you to fine-tune your custom level of polarization, ranging from fully off to maximum polarization.The VND/PL | Black Mist and VND/PL | Gold Mist are 3-in-1 setups that combine a Polarizer, VND, and 1/4 Black or Gold Mist into a single filter element. This eliminates the need for stacking multiple filters to craft a unique look, while retaining deep black shadows or creating a warming effect on highlights.The filter also features a Preset Stop Range to prevent cross-polarization, and Haptic Feedback that locks in your VND stops and makes it easier to rotate the polarizer without moving the VND. The Defender360, a full 360-degree encasement, provides unmatched protection for your filter, whether it's on-camera or stowed away in your bag.With the Peter McKinnon Chroma Helix Maglock VND/PL Filter, you no longer need to stack multiple filters. This 6-in-1 filter combination offers a lower profile, faster setup speed, and filter swaps, reducing bag weight and freeing up more carry space..
