Variable ND Filters - Open Box, 72mm / 6-9
Our Review
Moment Variable ND Filter (Open Box) — Cinema Glass Exposure Control at a Significant Discount
The gist: The same dual-layer Schott B270 cinema glass as the new version — open-box pricing makes this one of the best-value ND filters for travel shooters who don’t need the original packaging.
- Schott B270 cinema glass: Dual-layer precision construction eliminates color shift, vignetting, and cross-polarization — your footage stays neutral even at the extreme end of the rotation.
- Two stop ranges: The 2–5 stop version handles overcast and standard outdoor conditions; the 6–9 stop handles beach, snow, and harsh midday sun — both available at open-box pricing.
- Viewfinder-visible markings: Laser-etched, angled indicator ring lets you read the stop value from behind the camera without pulling the camera away from your eye.
- Lifetime warranty honored: Moment backs open-box units against manufacturing defects — so you get the coverage without the new-box premium.
Newsshooter reviewed the Moment Variable ND and highlighted its “dual layers of precision-aligned cinema glass” as a stand-out strength, noting light is reduced evenly without the color cast common in cheaper variable ND filters.
Best for: Travel photographers and videographers who shoot in variable outdoor light and want cinema-grade glass without the full retail price. Skip it if: you need absolute peak sharpness at the stops’ extremes — fixed ND stacks still edge out variable designs at the boundaries. Open-box pricing starts around $74 — check the current price before buying.
