Product Information

Full details

The Freewell 77mm M2 Series ND1000 Filter is designed for photographers and videographers seeking to achieve long-exposure effects and manage bright shooting conditions. Its key benefit is the ability to drastically reduce light by 10 f-stops, enabling creative milky-water effects and sharper images in harsh sunlight. A potential caveat is the need to adapt to its magnetic mounting system, which requires a blank frame installation first.

FAQs

What does ND1000 mean?

ND1000 indicates that the Neutral Density filter reduces the amount of light entering the lens by 10 f-stops, effectively blocking 99.9% of light. This is a very strong filter for extremely bright conditions or very long exposures.

How do I install the magnetic blank frame?

The Blank Magnetic Frame screws onto the front filter thread of your 77mm lens just like a traditional screw-on filter. Once installed, it stays on your lens to allow for quick magnetic filter changes.

Can I use this filter with other filter systems?

This filter is part of Freewell's M2 Series magnetic system and is designed to work with the corresponding Freewell magnetic blank frames. It is not directly compatible with standard screw-on filter threads without the blank frame.

Is this filter suitable for video recording?

Yes, this filter is excellent for video recording in bright conditions, allowing you to maintain a desired shutter speed for cinematic motion blur without overexposing your footage.

How does this filter affect image color?

The filter is designed with high-quality German optics and multi-layer coatings to minimize color cast and preserve color accuracy. It helps in capturing more realistic colors by allowing proper exposure.

What is included in the box?

The box typically includes the Freewell 77mm ND1000 filter, a Blank Magnetic Frame, a lens cap with holder, a cleaning cloth, and a protective filter pouch.

How resistant is the filter to damage?

The filter features multi-layer coatings that make it resistant to scratches, water, dust, and oil, enhancing its durability for outdoor photography.

Troubleshooting

Filter not attaching magnetically

Ensure the Blank Magnetic Frame is securely screwed onto the lens and that no debris is obstructing the magnetic surfaces of both the frame and the filter.

Image shows vignetting at wide angles

While designed for 77mm lenses, extreme wide-angle lenses may experience slight vignetting. Test on your specific lens setup. The magnetic frame itself is designed to be slim.

Color cast in images

High-quality German optics and multi-layer coatings minimize color cast. Ensure the filter is clean. If a slight cast persists, it can typically be corrected in post-processing.

Filter detached during use

Confirm the magnetic connection is strong and that the filter was fully seated onto the Blank Magnetic Frame. Ensure the frame is properly threaded onto the lens.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables creative long-exposure photography in daylight.

  • Helps achieve more natural colors and better exposure control.

Cons

  • Requires an initial installation of the magnetic blank frame.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Before using the magnetic filters, screw the provided Blank Magnetic Frame onto your 77mm camera lens. Once the frame is securely attached, you can magnetically snap the ND1000 filter onto it. This magnetic mounting allows for a swift 1-second swap.

Compatibility: This filter is designed for 77mm lenses. The M2 Series magnetic system ensures compatibility with other Freewell M2 magnetic filters.

Care: Clean the filter surface gently using the provided microfiber cleaning cloth to remove fingerprints or dust. Avoid using abrasive materials or chemical cleaners. The multi-layer coatings offer resistance to water, dust, and oil, but prolonged exposure should be wiped clean promptly. Store the filter in its protective pouch when not in use to prevent scratches.
