New: NiSi Swift - the expandable and flexible Vario-ND Filter System

The Transcontinenta Group, distributor NiSi Benelux, introduces the new Swift system. The new NiSi Swift filter system is specially designed for mobile video and photo content creators.  By stacking a number of round filters, up to 15 different combinations can be created.

 

This means you can place a four-stop ND filter on top of the Vario ND 1-5-stop filter, giving you a 1-9-stop VND. You can then place a Black Mist or UV IR Cut filter on top of this. The filters click together easily and quickly. You don't have to worry about vignetting with this system, so you can mix and match to explore creative possibilities.

 

How does the NiSi Swift filter system work?

The new NiSi Swift filter system is based on the existing NiSi True Color variable ND 1-5 stop filters, onto which other filters can be pressed. This is done easily and quickly, using friction on the filter mount. Up to four filters can thus be combined at the same time. The filter series consists of three new filters; a 4-stop ND filter, a Black Mist 1/4 and a UV IR CUT filter, plus an adapter that allows you, the photographer, to use one of the other filters as well, without the variable ND 1-5-stop filter.

 

Which NiSi Swift filters are available?

• NiSi Swift Variable ND 1-5 stop
  Enables slower shutter speeds in filming up to 1-5 stops. The filter comes with NiSi's popular True Colour technology that counteracts colour shifts often seen with variable filters. The filter has a slim design and can be used with a 16mm lens without vignetting.

• NiSi Swift ND 4 Stop
  Reduces shutter speed by 4 stops and combined with the variable ND 1-5 stops, the filmmaker/photographer gets a variable ND filter of 5-9 stop. The filter has NiSi's new Multi Ti coating, making it more resistant to scratching and also better anti-reflective.

• NiSi Swift Black Mist 1/4
  This filter adds dimension and character to shots. Highlights are given a soft diffusion, while shadows retain their hue and blackness. This filter reduces contrast, softens wrinkles, smoothes out blemishes and creates a soft, pastel-like light quality.

• NiSi Swift UV IR CUT
  This NiSi filter is designed to give colour balance to cameras that do not have an IR filter, such as BMPCC or Red cameras when working with ND filters. This filter suppresses both UV rays below 390nm, and IR rays above 700mn.

  The filters are available in 67, 72, 77, 82 and 95 mm and come in three different kits, depending on user preference.
