CineBloom Variable ND Filters - Open Box, 82mm / 10%

$135.3

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 — polished client video without the filter stack

The gist: A two-in-one variable ND and diffusion filter that gives freelance videographers cinematic light control and a soft, professional look in a single piece of glass — faster to set up, easier to justify to clients.

  • 2–5 stop variable ND in one filter: Eliminate the need to swap between multiple fixed NDs during a shoot day, reducing downtime and potential missed moments.
  • Hard stops block cross-polarization: The machined alloy frame prevents the dark vignetting artifact that plagues cheaper variable ND filters — every frame is usable for client delivery.
  • 10% or 20% diffusion strength: The 10% keeps skin tones polished and professional; the 20% adds atmosphere and reduces hyper-sharpness for social-media-ready content.
  • Laser-etched control dial: Indexed stops are visible through the viewfinder, supporting repeatable setups across a multi-camera shoot.

According to Moment’s guide, the 10% strength produces “polished, blended softness” suited to professional work, while maintaining sharpness for footage that holds up at full resolution.

Best for: Freelance video creators and content studios who want to ship a consistent look without heavy post-processing. Skip it if: your work requires strict ND-only control without any diffusion (e.g. scientific or technical video). Runs ~$100–$140 depending on size — check the current price before buying.
