Variable ND2-32 (1-5 Stop) Filter Plus+, 86mm

$135

By blocking 1 to 5 f-stops, 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 Variable ND Filter Plus+ to create more cinematic effects in bright and changing light.

Our 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 ND2-32 Plus+ Filter — Professional Glass for the Freelance Creator’s Outdoor Shoot

The gist: For freelance videographers and content creators who bill for client work, this filter delivers professional optical quality at roughly half the price of PolarPro or B+W — protecting both your footage quality and your gear budget.

SCHOTT B270 optical glass: Same raw material used in high-end professional filters; ≤2% reflectance ensures the light you capture is accurate, not washed out.
20-layer CoraNano™ nano-coating: Oil and fingerprint resistant — faster to clean between client shots without stopping for a thorough wipe-down.
Consistent transmission curve: Colors stay neutral and sharpness holds across the full 1–5 stop range; no re-grading footage to fix a color cast mid-edit.
Double-threaded frame: Stack a CPL or other filter on top without vignetting — expands your creative toolkit without buying additional filter holders.

Light & Matter gave the Plus+ line an 8.1/10, calling it “high-quality and fairly-priced” versus competitors like PolarPro at $249 or B+W at $252 for comparable specs.

Best for: Freelance videographers and YouTube creators who shoot branded content outdoors and need professional color accuracy without overspending on filters. Skip it if: Your work is primarily studio-based or indoors — variable NDs are an outdoor tool and add no value in controlled lighting. Runs ~$129–$159 depending on filter size — check the current price before buying.
