The NiSi Swift system is the cutting edge of circular video filter technology. It builds on the the success of NiSi's1-5 True Colour VND, widely regarded as the best VND in the world, and offers a new filter mounting system that is optically superior, faster and easier to use and on average 30% cheaper than NiSi's previous offering.
How it WorksThe Swift system uses the1-5 True Colour VNDas a foundation, which screws into the lens thread like any conventional filter. A variety of other popular filters can then be connected via a low-friction system that just pops onto the main filter to create up to 15 configurations. Each component is available individually or as part of a kit and is available in sizes 67, 72, 77, 82 and 95mm. Foundation
1-5 True Colour VND – The world's best VND
Stackable Add-ons
ND16 True Colour(4-stop / 1.2) – Convert the 1-5 VND to 5-9 VND
Black Mist 1/4 – Add cinematic atmosphere and bloom highlights
IR Cut – IR Cut filter for BMPCC and RED users
Use the add-ons without the 1-5 VND foundation
Adapter Rings – To mount Swift filters without 1-5 VND in low light
Adapter Ring for Low Light – What if you're shooting in low light and don't want to use the 1-5 VND as a foundation? The Swift system offers affordable adapter rings that then serve as the foundation that the other filters can clip onto. New Optical Tech – The New ND16 features all of the latest tech that has made NiSi's 1-5 True Colour VND the best in the world. A lot of this tech comes form NiSi's R&D to develop the ultimate full spectrum ND filters for cinema (still unreleased). It ensures that you can darken your exposure by up to 9-stops with class-leading colour, contrast and detail performance. The IR-Cut filter has the most layers in any NiSi filter ever made - a total of 38, to ensure the best possible colour capture for RED and Blackmagic users.

he NiSi True Colour ND-VARIO Pro Nano 1.0 - 5.0 stop Variable ND is the latest revision of NiSi's best selling filter; the older 1.5 - 5.0 stop ND Vario and it features several improvements over its predecessor. (Dec 2021 Launch) IMPROVEMENTS
True Colour Tech - NiSi have brought in the help of Japanese optical specialists to further refine the colour accuracy of this filter, which was already widely regarded as excellent.
Wider Density Range - Although only half a stop (improved from 1.5-5.0 to 1.0-5.0), this can buy you an extra 1 minutes of shooting time when the ambient light is fading before having to take the filter off.
Density Markings - The new filter has the stops marked on the side of the filter to assist users with exposure calculations.
Filter Cap - The filter now ships with an included filter cap, so you can put away your camera without having to remove the filter, but knowing that your filter won't damage in transport or storage.
Handling Pin - The steel pin used for turning the filter is now packed separately instead of mounted to the filter so you can choose whether to use it or not from the start.
More pronounced knurling for easier installation and removal.
Storage Pouch - The filter still comes with a hard plastic case, but also with a rigid canvas pouch that looks better than the plastic case.
The 0.3 to 1.5 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing wider apertures or slower shutter speeds than usually possible. The degree of density is easily controlled by rotating the front filter ring with or without the included silver lever, helping you predetermine the additional exposure length required. By slowing your exposure time or increasing your aperture, you can control the depth of field and convey movement more easily. The transition of density occurs smoothly which allows the photographer or videographer to adjust exposure length to the exact amount required for a given scene. For easier, repeatable control over density settings, the front ring is visually marked with numbers representing the different stop values. The ring features silver side knurlings for a secure grip and easy installation and removal. For those using this filter with cinema or video cameras, combined adjustments of aperture and this filter allow fine adjustments of the depth of field while retaining the designated frame rate. The Variable ND offers True Color that avoids colour shift seen in other Variable filters. The NiSi True Color ND-VARIO Pro Nano 1-5stops Variable ND is made from high-definition optical glass for the best resolution and quality. The glass is coated using the NiSi Nano coating providing a waterproof, oil-proof and anti-reflective coating to avoid ghosting and reflections. The filter ring is made from high-quality aluminium creating a very light and strong filter.
