Product Overview

The NiSi Cinema 4x5.65" Nano IRND Vertical Soft-Edge Graduated 0.9 Filter (3 Stop) is a graduated neutral density filter that darkens bright areas of an image, such as skies while leaving the remainder of the frame unaffected. The Vertical GND is designed specifically for the NiSi C4 Cinema Holder and the GND can be shifted up and down to selectively target the brighter part of the scene.

The camera is different from the human eye. The dynamic range of the human eye is quite wide allowing us to see detail in bright and dim areas simultaneously. While modern cameras have made significant advances in range, they are still not able to match what we can see with our own eyes. They have trouble holding detail in scenes with a wide range of tones. To compensate for this, we can use ND Grads (short for Graduated Neutral Density Filter) to selectively darken an area of the frame, such as bright skies, while allowing for a normal, unaffected exposure in the other regions of the image. The NiSi Nano IRND Soft-Edge Graduated filters are characterised by a soft transition (they change from light to dark more gradually) and are used when the transition between light and dark areas is not so clear. A classic example is a shot in a mountainous area. The NiSi Cinema Range of IRND filters is constructed from optical glass for clarity with no loss in sharpness.

Dual-Sided Nano Coating & Infrared Light Control

Made from a single piece of optical glass, each filter features NiSi's exclusive Dual-sided Nano coating technology with infrared light pollution control.

Scratch, Oil & Water Resistant

The nano-coating creates a protective layer over the glass, making it scratch-resistant and easy to clean.

Ultra-Low Color Shifting

Superior colour control compared to other leading competitors.

Anti-Reflective Coating

NiSi's nano-coating reduces glares and reflections to deliver a 6K digital image with no loss in clarity.

Smooth Graduated Transition

The NiSi Nano Soft IRND Grad has a smoothly graduated transition with no apparent transition between the darkest part of the filter on the top and the bottom which is clear. This filter is perfect for situations where there you have an uneven horizon, such as a mountain or cityscape.

The NiSi Vertical GND is compatible with the NiSi C4 Cinema Holder. A leatherette pouch is included for storage and transport. Also available is a larger filter case to organise and keep multiple filters at once.

FAQs

What is the advantage of using a graduated neutral density filter like the NiSi Cinema 4x5.65" Nano IRND?

The primary advantage of using a graduated neutral density filter, such as the NiSi Cinema 4x5.65" Nano IRND, is its ability to balance exposure in high-contrast scenes. This filter darkens only specific areas of the image, allowing you to retain detail in both bright and dark regions. For instance, when photographing a landscape with a bright sky and darker foreground, this filter helps to prevent overexposure of the sky while keeping the foreground properly exposed.

How does the soft-edge design of this filter benefit my photography?

The soft-edge design of the NiSi Cinema Graduated filter provides a gradual transition between the dark and clear areas of the filter. This is particularly beneficial when shooting scenes with uneven horizons, such as mountains or cityscapes, where a hard transition might look unnatural. The smooth gradient allows for a more seamless blend, making your images appear more realistic and visually appealing.

Can I use this filter with other brands of filter holders?

The NiSi Cinema 4x5.65" Nano IRND Vertical Soft-Edge Graduated filter is specifically designed for use with the NiSi C4 Cinema Holder. While it may physically fit into other holders that accommodate 4x5.65" filters, optimal performance and usability are guaranteed when used with the dedicated NiSi holder. Using it with other brands may lead to issues such as improper alignment or difficulty in adjustments.

What specific types of scenes or conditions are best suited for this filter?

This filter is ideal for outdoor photography, particularly in landscape settings where the sky is significantly brighter than the foreground. It excels in situations like sunrise or sunset photography, where the dynamic range is extensive. Additionally, it is beneficial for shooting cityscapes, seascapes, or any scene with a pronounced horizon that requires careful exposure management.

How does the Dual-Sided Nano Coating improve the performance of this filter?

The Dual-Sided Nano Coating on the NiSi filter provides several advantages. It enhances clarity and reduces glare and reflections, ensuring that your images remain sharp and free from distracting artefacts. Furthermore, this coating offers superior scratch resistance, oil and water repellence, which makes cleaning easier and maintains the filter's performance over time, even in challenging shooting environments.

What is the significance of infrared light control in this filter?

Infrared light control is essential in photography as it helps to prevent unwanted colour shifts that can occur due to infrared pollution, particularly in digital sensors. The NiSi Cinema filter's infrared light control ensures that the colours captured in your images remain accurate and true to life, which is especially important for high-resolution video and photography work where colour fidelity is critical.

Is this filter suitable for video production as well as still photography?

Yes, the NiSi Cinema 4x5.65" Nano IRND filter is designed with video production in mind as well as still photography. The smooth graduated transition and high optical quality make it an excellent choice for filmmakers looking to achieve balanced exposures in dynamic scenes. Its anti-reflective coating and clarity ensure that the final footage maintains a high level of detail and colour accuracy.
