Which Moment Lens Filter Is Right for Me?

1. 

Best For: Dreamy portraits, film-like looks, and bloomed light.

Offered in 10% and 20% strengths, the Moment CineBloom Diffusion Filter is one of those rare pieces of gear that quietly changes everything for your camera. It takes the digital edge off your footage or photos and adds this soft, dreamy glow that feels ~just right~ especially when you’re chasing that film look without actually shooting analog.

We’ve used it in everything from golden hour portraits to moody travel edits, and it never disappoints. Light blooms in a natural way, skin tones feel smoother, and the whole image takes on a kind of warmth that’s hard to replicate in post.

The build quality is stellar. The aerospace-grade metal ring is slim but sturdy, and you can easily stack it under a VND if you’re shooting video and want that extra motion blur (or, hey, just use our CineBloom VND filter!). The glass itself is legit: Japanese-made with a layer of fine black particulates that gives it its signature look.

If you’ve ever looked at a scene and wished it had just a little more "vibe", this is the filter to reach for. It’s been our go-to for years, and it’s not leaving the kit anytime soon.

• Available for camera lenses in sizes 37mm - 82mm.
• Available for iPhone devices 15 & later with QuickLock technology.

2. Moment Variable ND Filters

Best For: Filmmakers for cinematic motion or basic exposure control.

Most variable ND filters feel like a compromise, especially the cheap ones on Amazon. Too chunky. Too flimsy. Too pricey for what you get. But this version feels like it was made by people who actually shoot, not just spec it out in a lab.

The flared geometry is ingenue's. You don’t have to crane your neck or take your eye off the scene to see what stop you’re on. The various hard stops on the end are a lifesaver and gives plenty of light options in various settings; it removes the guessing games and that dreaded X-pattern in your skyline shots.

But what's wild is how lightweight this VND filter is. You expect something this capable to feel heavy on the front of your camera, but it disappears on your lens, even when stacked. And yes, you can stack it! Mix and match stops to dial in your exposure like a film shooter switching stocks mid-roll, or pair it with our signature CPL or CineBloom filter.

• Available for camera lenses in sizes 37mm - 82mm.
• Available for iPhone devices 15 & later with QuickLock technology.

3. CineBloom VND Filter

BestFor: Getting that dreamy film look with built-in precise light control.

The CineBloom VND is a combination of 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. This one also comes in 10% or 20% strengths, giving you the flexibility to shoot in super bright conditions with zero flaws.

Designed for taking with you wherever you go, this filter features our unique viewfinder visible stops, so you always know where you are in the range (this means zero guesswork by lessening the check-work between shots). There's a subtle detent at each end gives tactile feedback, while hard stops prevent cross-polarization. The filter comes housed in a lightweight, machined aluminum frame for extra ruggedness and a laser-etched Control Dial and our signature red anodized ring.

It's a delicious combination of two of our best-sellers in one single unit.

• Available for camera lenses in sizes 37mm - 82mm.
• Not available for mobile phones... yet ;)

4. CineClear UV Filters

Best For: Protection for your camera lens.

If you’re the kind of person who stresses over keeping your lens clean (same), the CineClear UV Protection Filter is one of those small upgrades that makes a big difference. It’s basically peace of mind in filter form like keeping dust, scratches, and greasy fingerprints off your glass without messing with your image quality.

Made with ultra-clear German Schott B270 glass (fancy way to say it's made from quality materials) and coated with 16 layers of anti-reflection goodness. This way there's haze, no weird flares, just normal-looking images and great added protection.

It’s also built to play nice with the rest of your gear. Stack it with your other filters or pop a lens cap on top without an issue. If you’re shooting outdoors, hiking with your camera slung over your shoulder, or just want to keep your kit in good shape, this UV option is a great mini investment.

• Available for camera lenses in sizes 37mm - 82mm.
• Available for iPhone devices 15 & later with QuickLock technology.

5. AntiGlare CPL Filter

Best For: Vibrant colors, cleaner landscapes, and reduced reflections.

The Moment AntiGlare CPL Filter is like sunglasses for your lens — but better. If you’ve ever tried shooting through a windshield, over water, or just in blinding midday sun, you know how reflections can kill a shot. This thing fixes that. It dials back glare, deepens skies, and makes colors pop without feeling overprocessed. The perfect little tool that's a silent killer.

The glass is feud silica which is something you’d expect in way pricier filters. It's coated 16 times over for clarity, durability, and color accuracy that feels honest. Just like all our other filters mentioned, it's smooth but precise and easy to adjust on the go, even with cold hands or while hiking up a ridgeline.

Ans duh, it stacks perfectly with Moment’s other filters, which is a nice bonus.

• Available for camera lenses in sizes 37mm - 82mm.
• Available for iPhone devices 15 & later with QuickLock technology.

6. Moment CineFlare Streak Filters

Best For: Stylized anamorphic-like flares.

It's like anamorphic flares but in filter form (skip the price tag of a big lens!). Just twist it on and you’re ready to roll. Available in blue for that sci-fi edge or gold for a warm, nostalgic glow, the CineFlare adds fun, cinematic flair to your footage while keeping the rest of your image sharp.

No matte if the light’s coming from a side window or overhead neon, you can adjust the angle just the way you like it in a 360 degree tilt for extra creative flair. This is a more fun and stylized lens — lesser on the practical side — but an awesome way to get fun effects without fake softwares or expensive lenses.

• Available for camera lenses in sizes 37mm - 82mm.
• Not available for mobile phones.

7.  Filter Mounts & Adapters

Lens filter adapters are one of those simple, underrated tools that make life a lot easier if you shoot with more than one lens.

Say you’ve got a favorite filter — like the VND or CPL— but your lenses all have different thread sizes. Instead of buying the same filter over and over in different sizes, you just grab an adapter ring (we unfortunately don't sell any on our site). All you gotta do is screw the adapter onto your lens like you would any normal filter, then attach your filter to the adapter. That’s it. The most common setup is using a larger filter on a smaller lens, which is perfect if you’ve invested in a higher-end filter and want to use it across your kit.

You can find these adapters at most photography stores or popular online retailers like Amazon, B&H Photo, and Adorama. They come in tons sizes to fit nearly any lens and filter combination.

How To Attach Filters To Your Phone

If you want to attach filters to your phone, we offer two simple options. A 37mm filter covers one lens, while a 67mm filter covers all three lenses and the microphone. If you’re using Moment lenses, we also have a 67mm Lens Filter Mount.

The Moment 67mm Snap-On Filter adapter easily clicks onto your phone case, letting you use filters across all three lenses. It’s designed to avoid vignetting (those weird dark edges) on ultra-wide shots and works with your phone’s microphone. You can also use it with other mobile accessories to build your perfect setup.

QuickLock Filters for iPhone 15 & 16

For iPhone 15 or 16, our QuickLock filter attaches directly to your case without needing extra adapters — making it the easiest way to add filters without any hassle.

Truth be told — these are our favorite filters for the iPhone. It's the simplest way get better results without too many more added accessories. You can check out the full lineup here.
