NiSi 498382 Cinema 4x5.65" Hard-Edge ND 0.9 Filter - Graduated Neutral Density

The NiSi Cinema 4x5.65" Hard-Edge ND 0.9 Filter is engineered for professional cinematography and videography where precise exposure balancing is essential. By reducing light transmission by 3 stops across the upper portion of the frame with a sharply defined transition line, this filter allows filmmakers to tame bright skies and high-contrast scenes without affecting exposure in the lower half of the image. This is particularly valuable when shooting exteriors where the dynamic range of a scene exceeds what a digital cinema camera can capture in a single exposure.

Built from optical glass with dual-sided nano coating, the filter maintains exceptional image sharpness and color fidelity while resisting the environmental hazards common on film sets—water droplets, oily fingerprints, and surface scratches. The nano coating also incorporates infrared light control, reducing IR pollution that can produce unwanted color shifts on digital sensors, especially when using higher-density ND filtration. The industry-standard 4x5.65-inch format slides into virtually any professional cinema matte box, making it a seamless addition to an existing filter workflow for narrative, documentary, and commercial production.
