Variable ND Filters Plus+ - 49mm / ND2-32 (1-5 Stop), 49mm / ND8-128 (3-7 Stop)

$74

Urth Variable Neutral Density Filters (VND Filters) block out 1 to 5 f-stops or 3 to 7 f-stops of light so you can use wider apertures in low variable light for shallower depth of field effects, and slower shutter speeds for long exposure effects without overexposing your images. Videographers can use our ND2-32 and ND8-128 Variable ND Filter Plus+ to create more cinematic effects in bright and changing light.

The Plus+ range features 20 layers of nano-coating providing easier cleaning and better protection against water, oil, and scratches. These layers also provide a higher maximum light transmission and a more consistent transmission curve for truer light reduction.

Urth Variable ND Filter Plus+ ND8-128 — Outdoor Creator’s Tool for Bright-Light Shoots

The gist: A 3–7 stop variable ND filter that solves the overexposure problem for content creators shooting in bright outdoor environments — one filter replaces a stack of fixed NDs in your kit bag.

  • Heavy light blocking for bright conditions: 3–7 stops handles direct sunlight, open-sky interviews, and noon exterior shoots that would blow out a lighter ND filter.
  • 180-degree shutter rule compliance: Dial in the right exposure for cinematic 24–30fps video even on the brightest shooting days — no overexposed garbage frames to cut around.
  • 20-layer nano-coated optics: German SCHOTT glass with hydrophobic, oil-resistant coating means faster cleanup between takes and longer filter lifespan in a working creator’s kit.
  • Lifetime warranty: Urth’s lifetime warranty on the Plus+ line makes this a one-time equipment investment.

B&H Photo highlights the Plus+ coating’s “higher maximum light transmission and more consistent transmission curve” compared to standard VND filters — essential when color grading professional client videos or brand content.

Best for: Content creators, YouTubers, and freelance videographers regularly shooting in bright outdoor locations who need reliable color-accurate footage. Skip it if: Your shoots are mostly indoors or in controlled lighting — a fixed ND or the lighter ND2-32 would suit better. Check the current price before buying.
