The real difference

One filter system.
Four creative controls.

The Freewell Real Locking VND/CPL brings variable neutral density and polarization into one filter, then adds secure locking layers for stronger ND and cinematic mist. Fewer loose decisions. More time inside the shot.

Start with the VND/CPL. Add the 5-stop ND32 for harder light. Choose a 1/4 mist layer when the image needs atmosphere. Every layer uses the same secure locking language.

Perfect exposure. Controlled reflections.

Keep the shutter. Shape the scene.

Neutral density lets filmmakers hold a deliberate shutter speed in bright light. The independent CPL then gives separate control over selected glare and reflections, so exposure and polarization do not fight for the same dial.

Variable ND filter questions, answered

Before the next shoot.

01What is the Freewell Real Locking VND/CPL system?

It is a professional variable ND filter and circular polarizer in one locking system. The VND controls exposure from 3–7 stops, while the CPL can be adjusted independently to manage reflections and glare.

02How much light control does the Real Locking VND provide?

The VND/CPL base provides 3–7 stops. Adding the 5-stop ND32 extends the system to up to 10+ stops of light control for very bright conditions, long exposures and time-lapses.

03Can the ND32 filter be used by itself?

Yes. The ND32 can lock directly onto the base ring as a standalone 5-stop neutral density filter, or it can be stacked with the VND/CPL for stronger light reduction.

04Which lens sizes are compatible?

The Real Locking system supports lenses from 49mm through 82mm using the matching Freewell base ring. The All Day and Mega kits include an 82mm base ring; other sizes are available separately.

05How does the locking mechanism work?

Press the two side tabs, place the filter onto the base ring or compatible layer, then release. The tabs secure the filter for handheld, tripod and gimbal work.

06What do the front and rear caps do?

The locking front cap includes NFC access to manuals, warranty and support. The rear cap includes a gray reference surface that can be used when setting white balance on location.
