Camera filter Freewell Mini 5 Pro ND4/PL – Neutral Density 4-stop with Polarizer

Freewell Mini 5 Pro ND4/PL is a combined optical filter for the Mini 5 Pro platform that integrates a 4-stop neutral density (ND4) layer with a circular polarizer. The filter reduces incoming light to allow slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright scenes while the polarizer element reduces reflections from non-metallic surfaces and increases color contrast. It is engineered to provide consistent exposure control and improved clarity for both video and still photography when shooting landscapes, water scenes, or other high-contrast environments.

Advantages

The integrated ND4 and polarizer design reduces the need for multiple filters, enabling quicker setup and fewer changes during shooting. Using a 4-stop neutral density layer allows for cinematic motion blur and greater control of depth of field under strong light. The polarizer minimizes glare and enhances sky and foliage saturation without affecting overall color balance. Optical coatings and precise machining maintain image sharpness and reduce unwanted reflections on the filter surface.

Suitable for

• Outdoor video production in bright daylight
• Landscape and nature photography with reflective surfaces
• Long-exposure shots to create motion blur in water and clouds
• Shots requiring reduced glare and improved color saturation

Key specifications

• Optical type: Combined neutral density (4-stop) and circular polarizer
• Light reduction: 4 stops (approximately ND4)
• Filter function: Exposure control and polarization for glare reduction
• Compatible mount: Designed for lenses with the Mini 5 Pro filter mount
• Construction: Multi-coated optical glass with metal housing for secure fit

How to use

Attach the Freewell Mini 5 Pro ND4/PL to a lens compatible with the Mini 5 Pro filter mount and ensure it is securely seated. For video, set frame rate and shutter speed according to the desired motion blur and use the ND4 to avoid overexposure in bright conditions. Rotate the polarizer element while observing through the viewfinder or on the monitor to reduce reflections and achieve the preferred color contrast. Check exposure and white balance after mounting the filter and make any necessary adjustments to ISO, aperture, or shutter speed.

Использование и советы

If shooting panoramas or stitched images, verify uniform polarization across frames to avoid visible transitions in skies or reflections. Clean the filter surface with an appropriate lens cloth to preserve optical performance.
