VND QuickLock Filter, iPhone 18 Pro Max / 2-5 Stops II
$90
Our QuickLock™ Variable ND (VND) II filter takes everything you love about the I and makes it more robust, with a sealed optical path that keeps dust off the glass combined with a stronger locking mechanism. It gives you the precise exposure control you need to create a moody, cinematic feel with natural motion blur, smooth transitions, and soft depth. It brings a moody, cinematic feel to bright scenes, making your shots look more crafted and less digital. The low-profile Control Dial makes fine adjustments fast and tactile, while built-in stops prevent cross-polarization for a smoother, more cinematic result. Unlike most mobile VNDs, ours delivers contrast-rich footage with no color shift so skin tones stay natural and blacks stay deep. It features our QuickLock™ mount system for fast and secure mounting to Moment Cases. Please note these filters ONLY work with a Moment Case iPhone 15 and newer.
Our Review
Moment VND QuickLock Filter (iPhone 18 Pro Max) — camera-quality video for your side hustle, no DSLR required
The gist: If you're monetizing video skills on the side — client reels, course content, LinkedIn video — this filter gets your iPhone 18 Pro Max footage looking professionally graded in minutes.
- Fast, no-fuss mount: Locks onto a Moment case in one step, so filming a quick client demo doesn't require a full camera setup.
- 2-5 stops of adjustable ND: Dials in the right exposure for cinematic motion blur whether you're shooting indoors under office light or outside at midday.
- Built to survive daily carry: Aerospace-grade aluminum housing holds up to being packed alongside a laptop in a work bag.
- No color-shift or X-pattern artifacts: Built-in hard stops keep footage clean and consistent, which matters when the output is going in front of a client.
9to5mac's hands-on review praised the filter's optical-quality glass and laser-etched dial, ranking it above bulkier cage-based filter rigs for solo creators.
Best for: remote professionals and freelancers building a video-based income stream who already shoot on iPhone. Skip it if: you don't own a Moment case or your work doesn't involve video. Runs ~$90 — check the current price before buying.
