Tilta Circular Polarizer 95mm Mirage Matte Box Filter

The Tilta 95mm Circular Polarizer is a purpose-built filter for the Tilta Mirage matte box system — not a general-purpose 95mm threaded filter, but a component engineered to integrate precisely with the Mirage's filter stage mechanism. Circular polarizers work by filtering light waves vibrating in a specific orientation, reducing or eliminating reflections from non-metallic surfaces like glass, water, and wet pavement, while simultaneously enhancing color saturation in sky and foliage. In cinematography, this translates to outdoor shots with richer blues, greener vegetation, and controlled window reflections — results that are difficult to achieve convincingly in post-production. The multi-coated glass minimizes internal reflections within the filter itself, preventing the ghosting artifacts that uncoated polarizing elements can introduce in high-contrast lighting.

The frame uses aluminum alloy and stainless steel — a construction specification that prioritizes long-term dimensional stability over weight reduction. On a professional rig, filters are inserted and removed repeatedly across a production day; a frame that maintains its tolerances ensures continued precise fit in the matte box stage without light leakage. The filter rotates within the Mirage stage for polarization angle adjustment, following standard circular polarizer workflow without requiring matte box removal. For Tilta Mirage users, this is the first-party polarizer designed alongside the system — and the fitment precision reflects that. For everyone else, the system-exclusive design makes this a single-platform accessory.
