Shortstache EveryDay Mist 1/4 Polarizing Filter, 52mm
PolarPro teamed up with Garrett King, aka Shortstache, to create a unique filter combo that embodies his signature photo aesthetic - a Polarizer + Black Mist. Deemed as the “Everyday Filter”, it’s one that combines two sought after effects and one that can stay loaded on your lens. The Circular Polarizer aspect gives the image a sharp clean look, while the subtle mist diffusion adds a slight blooming to the highlights, bringing back a hint of filmic character. Each filter is finished in a Shortstache favored tone of matte green to match his production style and subtly add to your rig’s appearance.

PolarPro Shortstache EveryDay Mist 1/4 Polarizing Filter — One Filter That Elevates Your On-Camera Content
The gist: A 2-in-1 circular polarizer and 1/4 Black Mist filter co-designed with photographer Garrett King, giving content creators and remote workers a single filter that improves video and photo quality for personal branding and professional shoots.
- Polarizer reduces on-screen distractions: Cuts reflections from glass backgrounds, laptop screens, and wet surfaces — a practical benefit for creators shooting in offices, studios, or cafes where reflective surfaces appear in frame.
- 1/4 Black Mist for portrait appeal: The subtle diffusion softens harsh highlights and skin tones slightly without the heavy glow of stronger mist filters — flattering for talking-head and portrait-style content without post-processing.
- Leave-it-on convenience: PolarPro designed this as a permanent filter — no removing it for indoor shots and replacing it for outdoor ones, making it time-efficient for creators with fast-paced shoot schedules.
- Collab quality glass: Built to PolarPro’s professional filter standards, with a scratch-resistant and coating-quality glass element that matches a creator’s investment in their lens glass.
Moment’s review described the Shortstache Everyday as a filter that “combines two sought-after effects” into one, saving both money and bag space compared to carrying separate polarizer and mist filters.
Best for: Content creators, personal brand photographers, and videographers who shoot outdoors or near reflective surfaces and want consistently elevated image quality with minimal setup. Skip it if: You primarily shoot indoors under controlled lighting, where a circular polarizer and mist filter provide minimal benefit. Runs ~$60–$110 depending on size — check the current price before buying.
