FREEWELL

FREEWELL 82mm Hybrid Variable ND/CPL Filter 3-7 Stop

SKU CH-B7ZC-PBZT5

An 82mm hybrid filter combining 3-7 stop variable neutral density with a circular polariser for exposure control and glare reduction in bright conditions

  • Precise exposure control with 3-7 stops of variable neutral density
  • Reduces reflections and glare via integrated circular polarizer
  • Smooth rotation mechanism for quick light and polarization adjustments
  • Premium optical glass with anti-reflective coatings ensures natural colour reproduction
  • Covers moderately bright to extremely bright conditions from ND8 to ND128

Threaded 82 mm Hybrid Filter

The Freewell 82mm Hybrid Variable ND/CPL Filter combines variable neutral density and circular polarisation in a single threaded mount. It provides 3 to 7 stops of light reduction for precise exposure control in bright conditions. The integrated CPL cuts reflections from water, glass and shiny surfaces while boosting colour saturation. This design suits photographers and filmmakers who want to carry fewer filters on location.

Replaces Separate ND and CPL Filters

Instead of stacking a variable ND and a polariser, this hybrid unit handles both tasks, reducing vignetting risk and speeding up lens changes. The jump is worth it when you regularly shoot video or long exposures in changing light and need to adjust density and polarisation quickly. It is not for buyers who only need fixed-stop NDs or who prefer a dedicated CPL for maximum polarisation efficiency.

Variable ND Range Practical Limits

The 3 to 7 stop range covers moderately bright to extremely bright scenes but cannot replace a darker fixed ND for very long daylight exposures. At the strongest settings some cross-polarisation artefacts may appear on ultra-wide lenses. The threaded 82 mm mount fits only lenses with that exact filter thread; it does not work with smaller or larger diameters without step rings.

Questions about this item

Will the 82mm thread fit my lens?

The filter has an 82mm thread so it mounts directly on any lens with an 82mm front diameter; check your lens barrel or cap for the matching Ø82 marking.

How do I set the ND and CPL together without cross-polarisation?

Rotate the outer ring to choose the 3-7 stop density (ND8-ND128) then turn the whole filter in its thread to dial the polariser angle; do not force the rings past their stops.

When should I replace the glass or coatings?

Replace the filter if the optical glass chips, the anti-reflective coating peels, or the rotation mechanism develops grit that cannot be cleaned with a blower and microfibre cloth.
