PolarPro Helix VND Kit in More Detail
Designed for content creators and videographers, the Helix MagLock™ Filter System offers a revolutionary solution to the process of threading filters on and off lenses. With a unique magnetic + quarter-turn locking mechanism, this system from experts PolarPro, ensures a secure connection, with lightning-fast installation and removal of filters without compromising their stability during busy shooting sessions.
You can trust that these filters will remain firmly in place until you decide to remove them from your lens. The Helix MagLock™ Filter System comes with brass thread bases in various sizes, including optional 67mm Thread Plate and 72mm Thread Plate sizes, along with the 77mm and 82mm included in this Helix VND Kit. This provides versatile coverage for your entire lens collection.
Industry-Leading VND Colour Reproduction and Accuracy
The variable neutral density filter employs PolarPro’s most advanced glass technology to date, resulting in razor-sharp optics with zero colour shift in all lighting conditions. All of the Helix components are made with a brass construction for smooth connections and a rubber trim ring is integrated into each filter for ergonomic grip.
How to use the Helix MagLock Filter System
Firstly position the correctly sized base plate to your lens, by simply threading it on securely. To add a filter, align the tan Filter push-tabs with the tan lines on the Base Plate. Once aligned, the Filter will magnetise and snap to the Base Plate, and when seated, rotate the filter clockwise until it locks into place. That’s it, you’re ready to shoot knowing that your filters are securely locked in place.
