Where's the CPL option/function? You guys at NiSi might want consider two flavors of this Kit. Kit #1, "The Swift True Color VND Mist Kit" aimed at the majority of users to Include a Swift compatible CPL in place of the UV/IR Cut filter. And a Kit #2, "The Swift True Color VND 'Cine' Kit" aimed at the few(er) users with Red and Blackmagic cameras, who truly could use the IR Cut filter. Most users won't fancy paying for gear they have little use for, as most hybrid cameras come with IR Cut capability out of the box. Really like what NiSi and Kase are doing these days. So much so, my square filter days will be over-n-done within weeks.

where is CPL in the kit?

[@prmsean]

might've just been the one i got, but had to return my swift cpl cuz the push-on lens cap like would not stay on it

[@tta410]

how to put NiSi CPL filter on this set? which CPL should i buy to use with these combo? Normal NiSi CPL or NiSi CPL for Swift System?

[@gundam00z]

Hi, any way to put on the blackmist first before the ND? I find myself often in a situation where I need the blackmist filter all the time but not the ND. If I only could stack the blackmist filter after the ND or use it with the adapter, then it defeats the purpose of the swift system.

[@blackcatooow]

how is this kit worth $410 before tax and shipping? and doesn’t even include a polarizer.. too expensive

[@34Media]

That kit needs a CP not a UV filter that no one will use ? very strange other then that looks good obviously doing video filters first be good to see when the photo filters come out in this mounting system

[@ericharrison4838]

I hear ya, but the UV is also a IR Cut. Very important to those with cameras not built to deal with IR pollution.

Can i Use my nisi swift system 82mm with step up ring to 67mm?

[@o0YumRamen0o]

I heard the CPL is built in the VND. But how do you adjust the CPL independently without affecting the ND

[@hoodaffairstv]

i have this in the 82mm 1-9 stop swift kit version without the adapter ring. I have a 67-82mm step-up ring but it doesn't work with the 4stop nd filter. Will a 82mm nisi adapter ring fit on a 67-82mm step-up ring.

[@jamesstarr7912]

They sell an individual ring just for the 4 stop filter and black mist. It's just a ring they press on to

[@michaeljemery]

I'd prefer Freewell's magnetic QuickSwap system but with stronger magnets and NiSi filters.

[@sonnypravo2439]

Hey, is it posible to use the CPL - true color together with this set?

[@anulearntech]

they have a CPL made for this swift system.

[@raymondpellegrin3614]

@@anulearntech i bought it, but has color shifting problem when atatched with the system. If you use it individualy, dont have the problem.

[@harshsingh6692]

Whats is the solution for using vnd and some sort of polarizer together?

[@mathiastegtmeier9714]

@@harshsingh6692 There's no good option. The nd already polarizes the image when you adjust nd. All vari nd's do. When you put a polarizer on top of a polarizer the results are not good.

[@harshsingh6692]

@@mathiastegtmeier9714 yes after reading and testing extensively i came to conclusion that vnd is a flawed gimmicky concept. The choice is between convenience vs quality. Therefore, fixed nd +cpl are way to go for narrative work no doubt and Nisi amazing glass and coating quality has been acceptable so far. And for run n gun documentary work magnetic solid nd+cpl are only option at the moment if the camera lacks internal nd. Nisi team - please diversify your swift fixed nd filters with more stops in between such as 1,2,4,8 etc. Swift system is still a two handed operation (i have tried it). Magnetic version would be great, but stacking and removing multiple magnetic nds results in a fiddly operation where 2nds come out while pulling just one. I'm still waiting to test maven filters. Pheww, basically none of the system/designs in existing market have a great maneuverability. We need better design (I'm saying this only for circular nd system and not square cinema filters)
