Magnetic filter Freewell FW-V2-3-7STOP neutral density 3–7 stops for V2 Series

The Freewell V2 Series magnetic VND/CPL hybrid filter combines a variable neutral density range of 3–7 stops (equivalent to ND8–ND128) with a circular polarizer. It is designed for photographers who need flexible exposure control together with reflection reduction and improved color saturation. The filter ships with an 82mm base ring, protective caps, a faux-leather case and a microfiber cleaning cloth for storage and maintenance.

Advantages

The hybrid VND/CPL design lets you adjust light transmission while also minimizing unwanted reflections and boosting color contrast. Magnetic mounting with the included 82mm base ring enables quick, secure attachment and fast filter changes. Premium German optical glass and multi-layer coatings increase resistance to scratches, water, dust and grease to preserve image clarity and durability.

Suitable for

• Landscape photography in varying light conditions
• Long-exposure photography in daylight
• Architectural and product shoots where reflections need control
• Outdoor and travel photography requiring quick filter changes

Key specifications

How to use

Attach the included 82mm base ring to a lens with the matching thread or fit an optional adapter for other thread sizes. Magnetically mount the filter onto the base ring. Rotate the polarizer element to adjust reflection control and rotate the variable ND element to set the desired light reduction between 3 and 7 stops. Store the filter in the supplied faux-leather case with protective caps when not in use and clean the glass with the provided microfiber cloth.

Recommendations

For best results, set exposure and white balance in-camera after adjusting the VND. When using strong ND settings, use live view or a tripod to compose and focus before mounting the filter to avoid focus hunting. Rotate the CPL slowly to find the optimal reduction of reflections; combine moderate ND settings with the CPL to retain color saturation and detail.
