The Tilta Illusion Magnetic UV Filter is a clear protective filter that snaps onto an Illusion magnetic adapter ring to shield your lens from scratches, smudges and debris. Its shatter-resistant UV glass filters out UV and IR light with ultra-low reflection, which makes it a practical lens guard for stunt, vehicle and other rough shoots.

FAQ

Which lenses will the UV Filter fit?

It fits any lens you can fit with a Tilta Illusion Magnetic Filter Adapter Ring. The rings come in 67mm, 72mm, 77mm, 82mm and 86mm, and Tilta does not list a ring smaller than 67mm.

How is it held on the lens?

The filter connects to the adapter ring magnetically, and Tilta adds mechanical locking to the Illusion system so the filter stays put until you release it. That makes it quick to swap the UV Filter for a polarizer between takes.

When is a UV filter worth using on a video lens?

Tilta recommends it for stunts, moving vehicles and other shots where the lens can take smudges, scratches or debris. It is a protective filter, so it does not replace an ND or polarizer for exposure or reflection control.

Does the UV Filter work with the VND Adapter?

No. Tilta lists the Illusion VND Adapter for the Illusion Magnetic Circular Polarizer only. Use one of the three polarizers when you need variable ND.
