The adjustable Freewell filter combines variable ND (VND) and a Mist diffusion effect in one, giving you fast exposure control and a softer, cinematic look without swapping filters. The 2–5 stop range (ND4–ND32) and Hard Stop system help you set darkening reliably and without the risk of cross polarization, while Pure High Definition optical glass with 18-layer coatings improves durability and image quality.
Freewell VND Mist is a practical solution for both video and photography when you need to smoothly regulate the amount of light while also giving your shots a softer, more cinematic character. Variable neutral density makes it easier to maintain proper exposure in changing lighting conditions—from overcast skies to typical sunlight—without having to switch fixed ND filters.
The integrated Mist layer gently softens the image and subtly diffuses light around its sources, creating more pleasing highlights without a significant loss of detail. It’s suitable for creative portraits, outdoor shooting, and everyday video production.
Key benefits:
- 2-in-1: variable ND + Mist diffusion in a single filter
- Hard Stop for quick, consistent adjustment across 2–5 stops
- Minimizes the risk of cross polarization, common with standard VND filters
- No significant vignetting when used with lenses of 16 mm and wider
- Pure High Definition optical glass and 18-layer coatings for increased resistance to dust, scratches, and fingerprints
