CineBloom Variable ND Filters, 67mm / 10%
Our CineBloom VND delivers a dreamy film look with precise light control. It combines our signature CineBloom diffusion with a built-in 2–5 stop Variable ND — giving you bloomed highlights, softened detail, and smooth motion blur without stacking filters. Available in 10% or 20% strengths, it lets you shoot cinematic footage with character, even in bright conditions.
Designed for going places, it features our unique Viewfinder-Visible Stops , so you always know where you are in the range — no guesswork, no checking between shots. A subtle detent at each end gives tactile feedback, while hard stops prevent cross-polarization. Housed in a lightweight, machined aluminum frame with a laser-etched Control Dial and our signature red anodized ring, this filter is made to work fast and hold up in the field.
Our Review
Moment CineBloom Variable ND Filter (10% Diffusion) — Cinematic Subtlety in a Single Filter
The gist: A 2–5-stop Variable ND with 10% CineBloom diffusion built in — a gentle glow that softens digital sharpness and adds film-like highlight bloom without calling obvious attention to the effect on travel footage.
- Two effects, one filter: Combines a 2–5-stop adjustable ND (0.6–1.5 optical density) with 10% diffusion — controlling exposure and adding cinematic softness simultaneously without stacking two filters.
- Subtle 10% diffusion: Softens digital edge hyper-sharpness and adds a natural highlight glow without a visible haze — the effect is there but reads as “filmed beautifully,” not “filtered heavily.”
- Viewfinder-readable stops: ND strength markings sit on an angled surface visible while looking through the viewfinder — you know your exact exposure reduction without removing the camera from your eye.
- Three sizes: Available in 67mm, 77mm, and 82mm to match the most common travel lens thread sizes; use on lenses 16mm or longer to avoid vignetting.
PetaPixel covered the CineBloom VND at launch, calling out the 10% diffusion option as the choice for creators who want the cinematic benefit “without being obvious” — a softer look for documentary and travel videography where heavy diffusion would distract from the subject.
Best for: Travel videographers and content creators who want a natural, film-like quality in travel footage without the heavy bloom effect of the 20% version. Skip it if: You want a dramatic, obvious cinematic haze (go with the 20%) or if you primarily shoot on wide-angle lenses under 16mm. Runs ~$159–$199 — check the current price before buying.
