Variable ND Filters Plus+ - 49mm / ND2-32 (1-5 Stop), 62mm / ND2-32 (1-5 Stop)
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.
Our Review
Urth Variable ND Filter Plus+ ND2-32 — The Content Creator’s One-Filter Solution
The gist: A precision 1–5 stop variable ND filter that lets remote-working video creators maintain cinematic shutter speeds outdoors without switching filters mid-shoot — built for efficiency, not just quality.
- Variable in one filter: Dial from 1 to 5 stops without removing the filter from the lens — faster adjustments during back-to-back outdoor content shoots.
- Professional optical glass: 20-layer nano-coated German SCHOTT glass delivers consistent color accuracy across the range — footage holds up in post without color correction headaches.
- X-effect locking: Min/max stops physically prevent you from rotating into the cross-polarization zone that creates the “X” color cast on cheaper variable NDs — one less thing to fix in editing.
- Lifetime warranty: Urth backs the Plus+ line with a lifetime warranty — a purchase you don’t need to repeat.
B&H Photo highlights that the Plus+ line’s nano coating provides “a higher maximum light transmission and a more consistent transmission curve” compared to standard variable filters — essential for accurate color when shooting branded video content.
Best for: Remote-working content creators and YouTubers who shoot outdoor video regularly and want accurate color without a multi-filter kit. Skip it if: You only shoot indoors or in controlled studio light where a fixed ND or no ND is simpler. Check the current price before buying.
