Freewell True Color Variable ND 1–5 Stop filter designed for Sherpa magnetic cases for compatible iPhones. The filter reduces exposure from 1 to 5 stops, allowing longer exposures, wider apertures and greater control over motion blur while maintaining neutral, faithful color reproduction.

The kit includes the filter and the Sherpa case adapter and is compatible with Sherpa cases for iPhone 13 / iPhone 14 (also listed for iPhone 15 Pro/Max and other Sherpa-compatible models in product data).

Recommendations

For best results, start with lower stop values and increase gradually while monitoring exposure and highlights. Clean the coated surface with a soft microfiber cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the protective coatings.
