CineBloom Variable ND Filters - Open Box, 77mm / 10%

Moment CineBloom Variable ND — one filter, cinematic travel footage

The gist: Combines variable ND light control and CineBloom diffusion into a single screw-on filter, letting travel photographers pack less while still getting the dreamy, film-style look their content demands.

• 2–5 stop variable ND range: Handles the jump from golden-hour light to harsh midday sun without swapping filters — critical when conditions change fast on the road.
• 10% or 20% bloom strength: The 10% adds a subtle analog softness for everyday street and portrait work; the 20% gives dramatic highlight glow for backlit or sunset shots.
• Viewfinder-Visible Stops: Laser-etched dial with tactile detents shows your exact stop position at a glance, so there’s no guessing mid-shoot.
• Hard stops prevent cross-polarization: Common on cheap variable NDs, cross-pol introduces an X-shaped dark artifact; Moment’s design physically blocks that range.

Moment’s own getting-started guide describes the 20% as delivering “buttery, warm aesthetics reminiscent of music video aesthetics” when shooting into sunlight — straight out of camera, without post.

Best for: Travel videographers and hybrid shooters who want a cinema look without carrying a filter stack. Skip it if: you need more than 5 stops of reduction for very bright midday exteriors — a fixed 10-stop ND covers that range instead. Runs ~$100–$140 depending on size — check the current price before buying.
