CineBloom Variable ND Filters
Bundle & Save
Our CineBloom VND delivers a dreamy film look with precise light control. It combines our signature CineBloom diffusion with a built-in 2–5 stop Variable ND — giving you bloomed highlights, softened detail, and smooth motion blur without stacking filters. Available in 10% or 20% strengths, it lets you shoot cinematic footage with character, even in bright conditions.
Designed for going places, it features our unique Viewfinder-Visible Stops, so you always know where you are in the range — no guesswork, no checking between shots. A subtle detent at each end gives tactile feedback, while hard stops prevent cross-polarization. Housed in a lightweight, machined aluminum frame with a laser-etched Control Dial and our signature red anodized ring, this filter is made to work fast and hold up in the field.

CineBloom Variable ND Filters

CineBloom VND gives you the signature look of our #1 selling CineBloom filter combined with the precise exposure control of our classic VND, all in one low profile package. You used to stack filters to get this look, now you don’t have to.

BLOOMS HIGHLIGHTS
Harsh light becomes soft halos that glow. Bright spots roll off naturally instead of clipping hard.
SOFTENS DETAIL
Reduces hyper-sharpness, especially in skin and backgrounds. Smooth contrast and texture that resembles the look and feel of film.
TRUE TO LIFE COLOR
Other VNDs can tint your footage, ours doesn’t. Thanks to premium coatings, colors stay true-to-life with no cross-polarization.
2-5 STOPS OF EXPOSURE CONTROL
A built-in 2–5 stop ND lets you fine tune brightness just by rotating.
WORKS WITH CAMERAS & PHONES
Our filters work with standard camera lens thread sizes. If you want to shoot with these filters on your phone you will need our 67mm Filter Mount. To put a CPL on your Moment Lens you will need our 67mm Lens Filter Mount.
TWO DIFFUSION STRENGTHS
Choose your level of glow. 10% (half) gives you a natural, everyday diffusion. 20% (full) adds a noticeable softness and stylized bloom.

The Right Glass
Engineered for the Details
Unique Character
Easy to Grip & Stack
Each filter uses the right glass for the character you need. UV filters that are clear, CPLs that reflect, VNDs that don’t mess with your shot…even CineBloom, with glass that responds to our unique coatings.
We obsess over every detail. Years of refinement mean smoother rotations, firmer stops, and ongoing improvements because our quest for a better filter never ends.
We created a proprietary formula to get the right look for each of our filters. our classic filters – UV, CPL, VND – give you a crisp look that doesn’t get in the way. our specialty filters – CineBloom, CineBloom VND, CineFlare – provide a unique character you can’t find anywhere else.
We want our filters to be easier to use, no matter the conditions. easy to stack multiple filters, easy grip and rotate, and even easy to use with standard lens caps. Using a filter shouldn’t be hard.
I’m absolutely obsessed with this filters halation effect. It makes the sun look so beautiful around people and scenery without making things too hazy. I was worried 20% would be a bit too much but the dreamy effect is just right! You’re able to still keep images beautifully sharp, while giving subjects a bit of a more dreamy look. I’ve been so impressed and look forward to trying other moment filters.
Both the 10% and 20% CineBloom VNDs are excellent! I've been using mist filters for many years now and the CineBloom highlight bloom effect is by far the most beautiful and unique in terms of character! I pair these with my vintage lenses and it helps me create images that are truly something special! These filters are really the best of both worlds with the bloom effect and VND combined into one, no longer do I have to stack filters, I have everything I need in one high-quality filter! I highly recommend these filters to anyone wanting to create images that stand out above the rest!
For my daily walk around camera this provides a more filmic look glaring highlights without giving up too much grain or sharpness to my eye. I’ll probably grab a couple more for other lenses!
First of all, I love box - it is very reliable, the filter fits tightly. Main - quality of product and result. Images looks more cinematographic.
Love how it adds a dreamy look to my film photos!
Prefer this over the tiffen BPM. Makes images and video making more cinematic.

The filter has a nice non-digital film effect but the thread makes it hard to screw on and off my lens. I thought I had broken the filter as I heard a crack when unscrewing it but I think it just struggles to align with the metal thread on my lens. Not the first one to point this out.

I made some photos with my canon m50 with yongnuo 50mm 1.8 (75mm ff equiv)
(no editing because I unsubscribed from Adobe) and not film because I'm broke, but all that aside I liked how my digital photos came out, diffusion filters are so sick! I only shoot film recently but this filter drastically improved my perception of my digital photos.
I also shot some video with this filter on the same lens and it's pretty cool!

Admittedly I got a bit excited when I ordered the 20% strength, I probs should have gotten the 10% because man the lighting gets blown was out with massive amounts of halation. But I'm not even mad, the effect is really gorgeous. Paired with some Kodachrome recipes in my Fuji XT3 I am getting as close as I can to a classic film look. I'll probably be buying the 10% at some point for more low key bloom though, because during the day or bright scenes the bloom can get in the way of the overall image.

Definitely made my highlights diffuse and pretty as heck! I didn't really know if I *needed* this filter, or what I'd even do with it, but I took it to this dog shoot I set up, and I'm pretty happy with the results!

At this point in time only used during daytime and very happy. 10% filter seems not to effect AF but have the impression it makes auto iso a bit difficult. Not a big issue, as long as you know it or don't use auto iso.

Adds that dreamy look to your photos and videos. Definitely removes that phone camera look and makes your footage look a lot more professional
Best filter and cinematic to make photos and footage less digital
