Key Features
TRUE COLOR AND SWIFT MOUNTING SYSTEM: The NiSi True Color Variable ND Filter reduces light from 1 to 5 stops, providing precise exposure control with no color shifts. This 82mm ND filter threads onto your lens like a traditional filter, offering a secure base for mounting additional Swift filters via its pressure-fit design. This system allows creative professionals to easily achieve dynamic effects, whether using the VND filter alone or combining it with other Swift filters.
ND16 FILTER: The ND16 Neutral Density Filter delivers 4 stops of light reduction and can be stacked seamlessly with the Variable ND Filter for 6 to 9 stops of control. It can also be used independently with the Swift Adapter Ring included. This 82mm variable ND filter ensures smooth and consistent exposure, making it a versatile addition to your camera accessories and a thoughtful gift for photographers.
BLACK MIST 1/4 FILTER FOR ARTISTIC IMAGERY: The Black Mist 1/4 Filter diffuses harsh shadows, reduces reflections, and minimizes lens flare, creating a soft, cinematic glow. This black mist filter 82mm enhances light distribution for natural, professional-quality results in photography and videography, making it an indispensable part of the Nisi variable ND filter system. This Nisi mist kit is an ideal photographer gift seeking aesthetic and cinematic shots.
SWIFT ADAPTER RING (INCLUDED): The included 82mm Swift Adapter Ring enables the use of 82mm Swift filters independently of the Variable ND Filter. This adapter screws onto your lens and securely mounts Swift filters via a pressure-fit mechanism, offering flexibility for photographers and videographers who want to achieve creative effects without relying on the VND. Its durable design ensures smooth transitions for any creative setup.
NO VIGNETTING: The NiSi Swift system eliminates vignetting when stacking filters, ensuring clear and consistent image quality even at wide focal lengths. With one filter stacked on the True Color 1-5 Stop VND, you’ll experience no vignetting at 18mm, and with two filters stacked, you’ll have no vignetting at 20mm. However, vignetting may occur at wider focal lengths. This feature makes the 82mm variable ND filter ideal for both photography and videography without compromising on clarity.

- Includes an ND16 Neutral Density Filter that offers 4 stops of light reduction, useful for bright conditions or extending shutter speeds.
- The ND16 filter can be seamlessly stacked with the VND filter for an extended range of 6 to 9 stops of light control.
- Comes with a Black Mist 1/4 Filter that diffuses harsh shadows, reduces reflections, and minimizes lens flare for a cinematic look.
- The Black Mist filter enhances light distribution for natural, professional-quality results in both photography and videography.
- Includes an 82mm Swift Adapter Ring, enabling the use of Swift filters independently of the Variable ND Filter for enhanced flexibility.
- The NiSi Swift system is designed to eliminate vignetting when stacking filters, maintaining clear image quality even at wide focal lengths.
- Guarantees no vignetting at 18mm with one filter stacked on the VND, and no vignetting at 20mm with two filters stacked.
👎 Cons
- While vignetting is minimized, it "may occur at wider focal lengths" when stacking two filters, potentially limiting ultra-wide lens use.
- The pressure-fit design for mounting additional Swift filters, while convenient, might be less secure than a threaded system in some situations.
- The kit is designed for 82mm lenses, requiring adapter rings for use with lenses of smaller filter thread sizes.
- The "True Color" claim is an advantage, but some users may still perform color correction in post-production.
- The Black Mist filter's effect, while artistic, might not be desired for all types of photography or videography, especially for clinical sharpness.
