Freewell Sherpa Series True Color Variable ND 1-5 Stop Filter (Mist)

This filter includes a 'Mist Effect' which provides a subtle diffusion for softer highlights and reduced contrast, in addition to the standard variable ND light control.

No, this filter requires specific Freewell Sherpa cases or Genius Rigs due to its magnetic mounting system.

Simply rotate the outer ring of the filter. The markings on the filter indicate the approximate ND stop range from 1 to 5.

The mist effect is designed to be subtle and primarily affects contrast and highlights, not overall image sharpness in a detrimental way. It aims for a pleasing, diffused look.

No, the mist effect is a fixed characteristic of this particular filter. The adjustability is only for the ND 1-5 stop range.

The magnetic attachment is strong and designed for secure, quick changes. However, avoid excessive force or impact to maintain its integrity.

Please refer to Freewell's official website or your point of purchase for specific warranty details, as these can vary.

Ensure the magnetic mounting surfaces on both the filter and the case/rig are clean and free of debris. Verify that you are using a compatible Freewell Sherpa case or Genius Rig.

While designed for smartphone use, extreme wide-angle lenses on some phones might show slight vignetting at the filter's maximum ND setting. Try adjusting the ND level or cropping slightly in post-production.

Ensure the ND level is correctly set for the ambient light conditions. For videography, your camera's auto-exposure settings might need to be manually overridden for consistent results.
