Ten stops.
Zero hesitation.
The world's slimmest locking hybrid VND/CPL system—built for filmmakers who move faster than the light.

The filter, rebuilt
Carry less.
Capture more.
A variable ND controls exposure. A CPL cuts glare. This one does both—independently—in a filter body slimmer than most single-job systems.
The magnetic mount gets it onto the lens fast. The short twist lock keeps it there while you run, jump, sail, or reframe. Add ND32 only when the light demands it.

The short answer
What makes this VND different?
It locks.
Magnets make attachment fast. A physical twist lock keeps the filter from being knocked off during movement.
It polarizes.
The CPL is built into the VND and adjusted independently, so reflections can be controlled without stacking another filter.
It scales.
One VND/CPL handles 1–5 stops. Add ND32 to cover 6–10 stops in severe daylight.
It stays slim.
A 6.65 mm VND/CPL profile and an oversized optical path are designed to minimize bulk and wide-angle vignetting.

Buyer questions, answered
Everything creators ask before choosing a VND.
Clear answers on stops, color, X-patterns, wide lenses, compatibility, and what comes in the case.
01What is the Brandon Li x Freewell VND/CPL system?
+
It is a slim magnetic camera-filter system co-engineered with filmmaker Brandon Li. The main module combines a 1–5 stop variable neutral density filter with an independently adjustable circular polarizer, then locks onto a magnetic base ring.
02How does the filter reach 1–10 stops?
+
Use the VND/CPL module by itself for 1–5 stops. Lock the included fixed ND32 filter onto the front to shift the working range to 6–10 stops, while retaining polarizer control.
03Does the Brandon Li VND prevent the dark X pattern?
+
The VND uses defined end stops to prevent over-rotation, which is the usual cause of cross-polarization and the dark X pattern on variable ND filters. Independent reviewers reported no obvious X pattern in normal use.
04Can I adjust the VND and CPL separately?
+
Yes. The black control adjusts neutral density and the green control adjusts polarization, so exposure and reflection control can be tuned independently. Set the ND level first, then fine-tune the CPL.
05How does the magnetic locking mount work?
+
Screw the base ring onto the lens, align the red index marks, let the magnets seat the filter, then twist the module until the marks move apart. That short twist mechanically locks the filter in place.
06Which lens-thread sizes are supported?
+
The Standard system covers Basic and Pro kits in 67, 72, 77, and 82 mm, with optional Standard base rings from 49 to 82 mm. The Cine system covers Cine and Cine Pro kits in 86 and 95 mm, with Cine base rings in 82, 86, and 95 mm.
07Are Standard and Cine base rings interchangeable?
+
No. Standard base rings from 49–82 mm work only with the Basic and Pro system. Cine base rings in 82, 86, and 95 mm work only with the Cine and Cine Pro system. The 82 mm size exists in both families, so choose the ring labeled for your filter system.
08Will it vignette on a wide-angle lens?
+
The oversized, ultra-slim design is intended to reduce vignetting. Real-world results still depend on focal length, lens construction, filter size, and how many modules are stacked, so very wide lenses should always be tested before a critical shoot.
09Does the VND/CPL change color or reduce sharpness?
+
The system is designed for strong color neutrality and high optical clarity. Independent testing found no major color shift with the VND/CPL alone, with a small warm shift becoming more visible when the ND32 was stacked at higher densities.
10What is included in the Basic Kit?
+
The Basic Kit includes the VND1–5/CPL module, ND32 filter, one size-specific base ring, magnetic front cap with a built-in grey card, rear cap, filter bag, buckle accessory, and cleaning cloth.
11What is the difference between Basic, Pro, Cine, and Cine Pro?
+
Basic contains the core VND/CPL and ND32 system. Pro adds a Black Glow Mist 1/4 filter. Cine uses larger 86 or 95 mm hardware for cinema and large-diameter lenses, while Cine Pro adds the matching Glow Mist filter.
12Is this filter only for video?
+
No. It is designed around fast video workflows, but the VND, CPL, and ND32 functions are equally useful for still photography, including wide-aperture portraits, reflection control, and longer exposures.
