Reduce the exposure of your image without touching the iris, ISO, or shutter speed by using the 95mm Variable ND Filter for Mirage Matte Box from Tilta. It slides into the Mirage, or it can be clamped directly onto a 95mm lens with the Lightweight Filter Clamp-On Adapter (available separately).

The Variable ND reduces the exposure by 1 to 9 stops, enabling you to keep the iris wide open for a shallow depth of field, abide by the 180° rule regarding shutter speed, and optimize your ISO to boost dynamic range. Rotate the VND, either by hand or via an optional wireless motor, to find the density that blocks the maximum amount of extraneous light, freeing the other elements of the camera to pursue a specific artistic effect.

Variable Neutral Density Filter    Designed for Mirage Matte Box    Wireless Control via Optional Motor    Fits Lenses with 95mm Front Diameter    Reduces Exposure by 1 to 9 Stops    Enables Iris to Remain Wide Open    Maintain Depth of Field as Light Changes    Can Use Lightweight Clamp-On Adapter

This variable ND filter is designed to have a minimal impact on the color of the light that reaches your sensor.

This variable ND slides snugly into the Tilta Mirage, ensuring that a lens with a 95mm front diameter is perfectly covered. Alternatively, it can be clamped directly onto the lens via the Lightweight Filter Clamp-On Adapter (available separately).

The module that controls the VND rotation is compatible with the Tilta Wireless Motor (available separately), enabling camera operators to remotely control the variable ND's rotation to find its desired effect.

Variable NDs consist of two polarized layers that block increasingly more light the closer to perpendicular they are to one another. This ND has hard stops before reaching the maximum and minimum settings to prevent unwanted X-pattern interference and reduce autofocus and light metering issues caused by the polarized layers.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this fit on the Meike FF cine primes? They have an 82mm thread, 90mm front diameter.

A: Yes, the Tilta Mini Matte Box includes a 82mm adapter ring that will connect to the inner 82mm filter thread of the Meike FF Prime Cine lenses.

Q: 2. I know the canon ef-s 17-55mm has a 77mm thread. Would it be fine with that lens?

A: Since the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens has a 77mm filter thread, you can use the Tiltaing Mini Matte Box's 77mm adapter ring to make the two compatible.

Q: 3. will this work on the Voigtlander 17.5 mm f/0.95 lens?

A: Yes it can with adapter B&H # TIMBT1558

Q: 4. All of my lenses are 67mm diameter. So if I use the 67mm adapter that comes with this to attach the matte box will I still be able to use my 67mm circular filters that I bought like my VND?

A: Yes, you will be able to. Just put the filter on the lens, and then the matte box over it.

Q: 5. I'm considering getting this for use with my Panasonic UX-90. Is there enough clearance over the matte box for the overhang of the built-in mic/handle?

A: We are not aware of this being able to work with the UX90. The only option for a hood we are aware of is the one it comes with. Using screw on filters is the better option over a matte box. The camera is not designed for a matte box.

Q: 6. Would this matte box fit on the Sigma T1.5 FF High-speed prime cine lenses?

A: Most of the lenses in that series will work. However, there are a few wide angle lenses that have an outer diameter larger than 95mm. If the outer diameter is larger than 95mm, it will not be compatible with the Tiltaing Mini Matte Box.

Q: 7. If I use a 77mm VND, do I have to rotate the filter to adjust stops or does does the included 77mm adapter rotate as well? I figure it'd be easier to rotate the adapter with the little nob it has.

A: This is not designed to work with a Variable ND filter.

Q: 8. Is it possible to have a variable ND filter in front of the lens and behind the mattebox? Perhaps using adapters and/or step up and down rings

A: Yes it is possible. You will have to consider the size of the lens, the filter and the matte box adapter rings.

Q: 9. Can you use 77mm circular filters with this matte box? (I'm concerned about the double reflection when a 4x5.65 filter is used). Thank you.

A: Yes you can but it may still result in double reflections. it depends on the type of filter the coating and the position of light sources.

Q: 10. Is there an option to mount a round filter stage in the back?

A: This support one 4 x 5.65" Filter. It may be possible to attach a filter to the lens itself with a filter thread, but that is not recommended and may not be possible with thicker filters.
