Product Information

Full details

The SmallRig CINE 4 x 5.65 inch ND1.8 filter is an essential tool for professional cinematographers and photographers seeking precise exposure management in bright environments. By providing a fixed 6-stop reduction, it enables the use of wider apertures and slower shutter speeds without overexposing your image, though users should note it is designed specifically for matte box systems rather than direct lens mounting.

FAQs

Does this filter cause a color cast?

No, the filter is made from high-clarity B270 glass with multi-layer coatings designed for high color accuracy and minimal color shift.

Can I use this with a 82mm lens?

This filter is not a screw-on type. You must use it within a 4 x 5.65 inch matte box or filter holder system.

Is the filter glass fragile?

While made of durable optical glass, it should be handled with care and stored in a protective case to prevent impact damage.

How many stops of light does the ND1.8 reduce?

The ND1.8 filter provides exactly 6 stops of light reduction.

Can I stack this filter with others?

Yes, provided your matte box has additional slots available, though stacking filters can sometimes lead to slight image degradation or reflections.

Troubleshooting

Filter is stuck in the matte box tray.

Ensure the tray locking mechanism is fully disengaged and check for debris or grit stuck in the tray guides.

Smudges or oil marks are difficult to remove.

Apply a small amount of dedicated optical lens cleaning fluid to a microfiber cloth and wipe in a circular motion; do not apply fluid directly to the glass.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To use this filter, ensure your matte box supports 4 x 5.65 inch rectangular filters. The filter should be inserted gently into the tray slot to avoid scratching the edges. When not in use, always store the filter in a protective, padded pouch to prevent cracks or surface damage. To clean, use a high-quality optical lens cleaning solution and a clean microfiber cloth. Always brush off any loose dust particles before wiping to prevent micro-scratches on the glass surface.
