SmallRig CINE 4 x 5.65″ ND0.9 (3 Stops) Filter – Advanced Light Control for Cinematic Expression

Developed for Professional Cinematic Applications

The Foto Crown Provides SmallRig CINE 4 x 5.65″ ND0.9 (3 Stops) Filter is specifically designed for filmmakers and content creators who require precision exposure control in dynamic shooting environments. With the ability to reduce light by three full stops, this neutral density filter allows for greater flexibility in camera settings, helping cinematographers preserve image detail and achieve the desired creative effect. Whether working with natural daylight or high-output studio lights, this filter provides the exposure balance essential for cinematic storytelling.

Engineered for Controlled Depth and Motion

Cinematographers often need to shoot at wider apertures to achieve a shallow depth of field or at slower shutter speeds to introduce cinematic motion blur. In bright lighting conditions, this can lead to overexposure if not managed properly. The SmallRig ND0.9 filter solves this challenge by reducing the amount of light entering the lens, enabling the creative use of aperture and shutter without compromising exposure. This flexibility allows for greater artistic control over the visual style of a scene.

Reliable Performance Across Varied Lighting Conditions

From direct sunlight to high-contrast interiors, lighting conditions on set can shift unexpectedly. The SmallRig CINE ND0.9 filter ensures stable, reliable performance in all environments. Thanks to its multi-coated surface, reflections, glare, and flare are effectively suppressed, allowing for consistent image quality across multiple lighting scenarios. The filter’s coatings also help reduce ghosting, especially when working with strong backlighting or wide-angle lenses, keeping highlights and shadows well-balanced.

Durable and Protective Construction for Field Use

A multi-layer nano-coating provides resistance to scratches, fingerprints, moisture, and dust, helping maintain a clean surface during extended use. This protective layer makes the filter suitable for both indoor and outdoor shoots, especially in fast-paced or remote locations where conditions are less controlled.

Seamless Compatibility with Industry-Standard Matte Boxes

The filter’s 4 x 5.65″ rectangular format is widely accepted as the industry standard in professional cinematography. This ensures compatibility with a broad range of matte boxes used in film and broadcast production. Integration into your setup is simple, allowing for quick filter changes during live shoots or multi-camera setups. The standard sizing also supports stacking with other filters, such as polarizers or diffusion, to achieve layered effects or correct for multiple exposure challenges.

Ideal for Narrative, Commercial, and Documentary Workflows

The versatility of the SmallRig ND0.9 filter makes it suitable for a variety of production styles and genres. In narrative filmmaking, it allows directors of photography to achieve consistent exposure while preserving mood and visual intent. In commercial and advertising shoots, the filter helps maintain crisp, balanced imagery that supports brand storytelling. For documentary and run-and-gun setups, it ensures exposure control remains consistent, even as lighting conditions change rapidly throughout the day.

Precision Craftsmanship for Consistent Results

The SmallRig CINE ND0.9 filter reflects a commitment to quality and precision that professionals depend on. This precision reduces distortion and prevents color shift, even when paired with wide-angle lenses or used in combination with other filters. As a result, the filter delivers uniform results across scenes, cameras, and lenses, maintaining a coherent visual identity throughout your project.

Designed for Modern Camera Systems

Today’s camera sensors are more sensitive and dynamic than ever, requiring filters that match their performance capabilities. Its high transmission quality ensures minimal impact on image sharpness, and its robust build makes it a dependable addition to any professional cinematographer’s toolkit. As creative demands evolve, this filter remains a reliable and essential component in managing light and exposure effectively.
