PolarPro Chroma VND/PL Helix

Yes, the Helix system requires a specific Helix Base Plate to attach to your lens. The filter itself is magnetic and will not mount directly to standard lens threads without that base.

The MagLock system is designed to be secure and reliable. It provides a strong magnetic connection that stays in place during movement, but allows you to swap filters instantly without the hassle of screwing and unscrewing them.

The Chroma glass formula is specifically engineered to prevent color shifts, maintaining accurate color reproduction. Additionally, the filter includes preset stop ranges to prevent the 'X' pattern or cross-polarization artifacts often found in cheaper variable ND filters.

Yes, the unit features independent controls. You can rotate the polarizer to manage reflections and glare separately from the variable ND ring, which controls the amount of light entering your lens.

This filter offers a 2-5 stop range, which is the most versatile range for typical daylight shooting conditions, allowing you to maintain a shallow depth of field or proper shutter speeds without overexposing your footage.

The filter comes with its own front and rear 'Defender' caps designed specifically for the Helix system. Standard screw-on lens caps will not work with this magnetic mounting system.
