The Tilta Illusion Magnetic Filter Ultimate Kit puts three magnetic circular polarizers, a VND adapter and 77mm and 82mm screw-on adapter rings in one case. Stack the VND adapter on the standard polarizer for 1 to 5 stops, on the 5-stop ND polarizer for 6 to 10 stops, or on the Black Mist 1/4 polarizer for a softer look, so one set covers bright exteriors, interiors and portraits on lenses with 77mm or 82mm filter threads.

Key Features

  • Three magnetic circular polarizers: a standard CPL, a CPL with 5 stops of ND, and a CPL with Black Mist 1/4.
  • Lock a polarizer on its ring and stack the VND adapter on top for 1 to 5 stops of variable ND, or 6 to 10 stops with the 5-stop ND polarizer underneath.
  • The Black Mist 1/4 polarizer lowers contrast and adds a subtle glow to highlights while still cutting reflections.
  • Magnetic attachment with mechanical locking holds each filter on the ring, and the base polarizer stays in a fixed position when more filters are stacked on top.
  • Cinema-grade Full Spectrum (FS) coating with a water- and oil-repellent surface keeps colour neutral and wipes clean.
  • Front and back protective covers fit a single filter or a locked stack, and a soft carrying case holds the whole kit.

How It Compares

  • Choose the Ultimate Kit if you shoot in strong daylight and need more than 5 stops, or want a Black Mist look without carrying another filter. The 5-stop ND polarizer takes the VND stack to 6 to 10 stops.
  • Choose the Tilta Illusion Magnetic Filter Creator Kit if 1 to 5 stops covers your shoots. It has the standard polarizer and VND adapter with the same rings, covers and case.
  • Need another lens size? Tilta Illusion adapter rings also come in 67mm, 72mm and 86mm, so the same filters move between lenses.

FAQ

What is the difference between the three polarizers?

All three cut reflections. The standard CPL only polarizes, the ND version adds 5 stops of light reduction for bright scenes, and the Black Mist 1/4 version softens highlights and lowers contrast for a more cinematic look.

How do I get 6 to 10 stops of ND?

Mount the polarizer with 5 stops of ND on an adapter ring, lock it, then stack the VND adapter on top. Tilta rates that combination at 6 to 10 stops. With the standard polarizer underneath, the same VND adapter gives 1 to 5 stops.

Which lenses does the Ultimate Kit fit?

Lenses with 77mm or 82mm front filter threads, using the two included screw-on adapter rings. Add a 67mm, 72mm or 86mm Illusion ring, sold separately, for other lenses.

Will the bottom filter turn when I stack more filters on it?

No. Once the base polarizer is locked on its ring it stays in a fixed position, so turning the VND adapter on top does not shift your polarizer setting.
