VND QuickLock Filter, iPhone 18 Pro / 2-5 Stops II
$90
Our QuickLock™ Variable ND (VND) II filter takes everything you love about the I and makes it more robust, with a sealed optical path that keeps dust off the glass combined with a stronger locking mechanism. It gives you the precise exposure control you need to create a moody, cinematic feel with natural motion blur, smooth transitions, and soft depth. It brings a moody, cinematic feel to bright scenes, making your shots look more crafted and less digital. The low-profile Control Dial makes fine adjustments fast and tactile, while built-in stops prevent cross-polarization for a smoother, more cinematic result. Unlike most mobile VNDs, ours delivers contrast-rich footage with no color shift so skin tones stay natural and blacks stay deep. It features our QuickLock™ mount system for fast and secure mounting to Moment Cases. Please note these filters ONLY work with a Moment Case iPhone 15 and newer.

Moment VND QuickLock Filter (2-5 Stops II) — cinematic exposure control that fits in a coin pocket
The gist: If you're shooting travel video on your iPhone and tired of blown-out skies or jittery daylight clips, this variable ND filter is the smallest fix that actually works.
- Stepless 2-5 stop range: dial down bright midday light so you can shoot at a proper 24fps shutter speed without overexposing.
- QuickLock mount: press-and-lock attach/detach to a compatible Moment Case — no threads to fumble with while you're trying to catch a moment on a moving train or boat.
- Aerospace-grade aluminum housing: built to survive gear bags, sandy beaches, and cobblestone streets without cracking.
- Fit note: works ONLY with a Moment Case for iPhone 17 or newer — confirm your case generation before buying.
Reviewing Moment's QuickLock VND system, 9to5mac called the press-and-lock attach process "hands-down the easiest" VND experience they'd tried, noting it takes about two seconds to mount or remove.
Best for: nomads and creators shooting travel b-roll who want DSLR-style exposure control without packing a filter kit. Skip it if: you don't already own a compatible Moment Case — the filter is useless without one. Runs ~$90 — check the current price before buying.
