CineBloom Variable ND Filters, 82mm / 10%
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.
Our Review
Moment CineBloom Variable ND Filter (10% Diffusion) — Professional Video Polish Without a Post-Processing Workflow
The gist: A 2–5-stop Variable ND with subtle 10% CineBloom diffusion for content creators and videographers who need a polished, cinematic look in-camera — without spending hours adding film grain and glow in post.
- In-camera cinematic finish: 10% diffusion softens the clinical digital sharpness of modern sensors in-camera, so your footage starts from a premium aesthetic baseline without heavy post-editing.
- Exposure control built in: 2–5 stop ND range handles bright outdoor shooting, achieving proper motion blur shutter speeds for silky B-roll and product footage without overexposing.
- On-lens stop readout: ND stop markings are visible through the viewfinder on an angled surface, so you can check and adjust exposure on the fly during fast-paced shoots without stopping down to inspect the filter.
- Available in 67/77/82mm: Covers the common thread sizes for mirrorless and DSLR prime and zoom lenses used in branded and editorial content work.
PetaPixel reported on the CineBloom VND at launch, noting the 10% option delivers a “subtle, natural glow” suited for content where the production quality should be felt rather than seen — ideal for brand videos, talking heads, and social content where over-filtered footage looks cheap.
Best for: Video content creators and marketing videographers who want a polished in-camera look for branded content, social media, and client videos without intensive post-production. Skip it if: You shoot primarily stills or use lenses shorter than 16mm, or if you want a more dramatic film look (the 20% diffusion is more visible on screen).
