Moment 52mm Variable ND Filter (2-5 Stop)

Landscape photographers and videographers working in bright conditions will appreciate the Moment 52mm Variable ND Filter (2-5 Stop). It provides precise control over exposure, allowing you to achieve the perfect shutter speed or aperture without changing your composition. The filter's variable density range from 2 to 5 stops (ND4 to ND32) lets you adapt quickly to changing light, making it an essential tool for both stills and video.

Why choose it

The Moment Variable ND Filter stands out for its optical quality and build. The Schott B270 glass ensures excellent clarity, while the 16-layer coatings reduce flare and ghosting, and repel water and scratches. The aerospace-grade aluminum frame is durable yet lightweight, and the smooth rotation mechanism with hard stops prevents accidental adjustments. The filter is designed to minimize the X-pattern common in variable NDs, maintaining image quality across the range.

Ideal use cases

• Long exposure photography in daylight, such as waterfalls or clouds
• Videography requiring fixed shutter speed for cinematic motion blur
• Portrait photography with wide apertures in bright light
• Travel and outdoor shooting where changing filters is inconvenient

Good to know

The filter includes a protective case and microfiber cloth for safe storage and cleaning. It is compatible with any lens with a 52mm filter thread and can be stacked with other filters using the front thread. The variable density range covers common needs, but for extreme long exposures, a higher-stop ND may be required.
