Elevate your photography and videography with the NiSi SWIFT FS ND16, a 4-stop neutral density filter designed for the NiSi SWIFT circular filter system. This filter allows for slower shutter speeds and wider apertures, ensuring every shot approaches perfection by creating a natural sense of motion in videos and enabling extended exposures in photography. Crafted from high-quality optical glass and featuring full-spectrum neutrality, the SWIFT FS ND16 delivers exceptional image quality. Its 1.2 density reduces light by 4 stops. Experience true color accuracy with Full Spectrum Neutral Density technology, maintaining color fidelity across the entire light spectrum (including infrared and ultraviolet) and eliminating color casts. Designed for the NiSi SWIFT system, the thread-less, friction-mounting mechanism provides a secure connection for on-the-go creators, outperforming magnetic systems prone to dislodgment. The SWIFT FS ND16 requires a base (such as a SWIFT adapter ring or SWIFT Variable ND) for attachment and allows for easy filter interchangeability and stacking. Key Features: * Compatibility: Designed for NiSi SWIFT bases – choose either the 77mm NiSi SWIFT Variable ND or 77mm SWIFT Adapters (each sold separately). Cannot attach directly to a lens. * SWIFT Mounting: Robust pressure-mounting ensures a reliable hold and effortless filter switching. Press on for a secure, ready-to-go attachment without unreliable magnets. * Neutral Density: The 1.2 density (ND16) reduces light by 4 stops, lengthening shutter speed for a natural sense of motion in filming. * Full Spectrum Color: Safeguards against discoloration across the light spectrum, including infrared and ultraviolet, ensuring authentic, true-to-life color in any shooting conditions. * Nano Coating: NiSi's Pro Nano multi-coating makes this filter waterproof, scratch-resistant, and anti-reflective for long-lasting performance and easy cleaning of fingerprints, dust, and smudges. * Additional Stops for VND: Enhance NiSi True Color VND 1-5 stops by adding the FS ND16 for up to 9 stops density, providing additional darkness in brighter conditions.
