Features:

True 6-Stop Light Reduction for Precision Exposure Control

The NiSi HUC PRO Nano IRND Filter is engineered with a precise 1.8 optical density, translating to an exact 6-stop reduction in the amount of light entering the lens. This level of control is critical for photographers and videographers who want to slow their shutter speeds to create stunning long exposure effects or maintain wide-open apertures in bright daylight without overexposing their shots. Whether capturing the ethereal flow of waterfalls, smoothing ocean waves, or adding dynamic motion blur to bustling city scenes, this 6-stop ND filter allows for unparalleled creative flexibility in varying lighting conditions.

Advanced Infrared (IR) Suppression for Accurate Color Reproduction

Unlike many basic ND filters that struggle with color shifts during long exposures, the NiSi HUC PRO Nano IRND Filter features an integrated infrared suppression coating. This advanced layer specifically blocks infrared pollution that often causes unwanted reddish or magenta color casts, especially during extended exposure times. The result is consistently neutral and accurate color reproduction across the entire frame, giving professionals the confidence that their final image will reflect the true colors of the scene without heavy post-processing corrections.

High-Definition Optical Glass for Maximum Sharpness and Clarity

Built with premium high-definition optical glass, the NiSi HUC PRO Nano IRND Filter maintains exceptional image clarity, sharpness, and contrast, even when working with high-resolution sensors and lenses. Inferior glass can degrade an image subtly but significantly, reducing detail and introducing optical aberrations. NiSi’s use of the highest quality materials ensures that every shot remains crisp, vibrant, and distortion-free, preserving the integrity of your original vision and the technical performance of your equipment.

Nano Multi-Coating for Superior Resistance Against Water, Oil, and Dust

To ensure maximum durability and ease of use, the filter incorporates NiSi’s specialized Nano Multi-Coating on both surfaces. This coating not only reduces reflections and surface glare but also actively repels water, oil, dust, and fingerprints. Photographers working in unpredictable environments—whether by the ocean, in humid forests, or dusty deserts—will appreciate how easily the filter stays clean and maintains peak optical performance with minimal maintenance, even during intense shoots.

Ultra-Slim Aluminum Frame to Eliminate Vignetting

A common problem when using filters with wide-angle lenses is vignetting, where dark corners appear in the frame. To combat this, the NiSi HUC PRO Nano IRND Filter is housed in an ultra-slim, precision-machined aluminum alloy frame that ensures minimal thickness without sacrificing durability. This design effectively eliminates vignetting, even on ultra-wide lenses, ensuring full-frame coverage and professional-grade results across a broad range of focal lengths.

Knurled Edge Ring for Easy Handling in Any Conditions

Attention to detail extends to usability, with a thoughtfully designed knurled edge around the filter ring. This textured surface provides a secure grip, allowing users to quickly and easily screw the filter on and off, even when wearing gloves or working in wet, cold, or fast-moving environments. Whether changing filters rapidly on a shoot or making fine adjustments in tricky conditions, this ergonomic feature saves time and frustration.

Front Threaded Design for Stacking Filters Without Compromise

Flexibility is key when working with creative setups, and the NiSi HUC PRO Nano IRND Filter includes a front-threaded design that allows for the stacking of additional filters, such as circular polarizers or UV protection filters. This capability enables photographers to build complex optical systems without the bulk or risk of vignetting, making it an ideal tool for those who need versatile solutions without compromising image quality or frame edges.

Optimized for High-Resolution Digital Sensors

Modern digital sensors, especially those in high-resolution cameras, are incredibly sensitive to minor optical flaws and infrared pollution. The NiSi HUC PRO Nano IRND Filter has been carefully designed to meet the demands of these sensors, ensuring that every shot achieves perfect sharpness, true-to-life color, and consistent exposure. Professionals using the latest camera systems can trust that their sensor’s full potential is matched by the quality of this filter.

Available in a Wide Range of Sizes for Broad Compatibility

The NiSi HUC PRO Nano IRND Filter is available in an extensive selection of sizes ranging from 40.5mm to 95mm, ensuring compatibility with virtually any professional or enthusiast-grade lens. Whether shooting with compact primes, standard zooms, or large cinema lenses, there’s a perfectly fitting version ready to elevate your photography and videography results with zero compromise on performance or ease of use.
