KANI Variable ND + CPL Filter Series
The KANI Variable ND + CPL Filter Series combines the functions of a Variable ND filter and a Circular Polarizing filter into a single versatile filter system.
Designed for photographers and videographers, this filter allows smooth exposure control together with reflection and polarization adjustment, making it ideal for landscape photography, travel photography, cinematic video shooting, and outdoor content creation.
The Variable ND function allows users to adjust light reduction depending on shooting conditions without changing filters.
This is especially useful in environments where lighting changes continuously, such as outdoor video shooting, travel photography, waterfalls, rivers, beaches, and landscape scenes.
The integrated CPL function helps reduce reflections from water surfaces, wet ground, glass, and shiny objects while enhancing sky contrast and color saturation.
Blue skies become deeper, clouds appear clearer, and green foliage or autumn colors become more vibrant and natural.
The effect adjustment is controlled by rotating both the front filter frame and the detachable adjustment knob.
This dual-control structure allows smooth operation and flexible control of both ND and polarization effects.
The ND2-400 model provides an adjustable light reduction range from 1 stop to 8 2/3 stops, making it highly practical for video production and long exposure photography.
It is especially useful for creators who want flexible exposure control without carrying multiple ND filters.
Due to the characteristics of Variable ND filters, when used with ultra wide-angle or wide-angle lenses, X-pattern unevenness or slight blue color shifts may appear depending on the adjustment position.
Because of the filter frame thickness and optical structure, this series is mainly recommended for standard to telephoto lenses, beginner users, and video shooting applications.
Available Models
- VND2-64 + CPL
- VND2-64 + CPL (Pink Frame)
- VND2-400 + CPL
