Variable ND Filters - Open Box, 58mm / 6-9

$74.4
The Moment VND gives you more control with a clean, consistent look. Built with dual layers of precision-aligned cinema glass, it reduces light evenly without introducing color shift, vignetting, or cross-polarization. Each stop range is fixed and precisely machined, with ND positions aligned at exact angles to deliver accurate, repeatable exposure control. You get smooth motion blur, natural rolloff, and the ability to shoot wide open in bright conditions — all without sacrificing sharpness or contrast. Designed for going places, the VND 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 the end of rotation gives tactile feedback when you've hit your limit. Housed in a lightweight, machined aluminum frame with built-in hard stops and a laser-etched Control Dial, the Moment red anodized ring stands out on your rig and holds up in the field. Available in 2–5 and 6–9 stop versions to cover every lighting condition.

Moment Variable ND Filter (6–9 Stop, Open Box) — Cinematic Control for Bright-Light Shooting

The gist: A professional-grade variable ND covering the 6–9 stop range (ND64–ND512), built for travel videographers who regularly shoot in direct sun and need precise exposure control without carrying multiple fixed NDs.

  • 6–9 stop range: Cuts light by 64× to 512× — the ideal range for achieving cinematic shutter speeds on bright beach, mountain, and open-sky shots.
  • Schott B270 Pro Cinema Glass: 15 layers of antireflection coating per glass surface maintain clarity and color neutrality; Newsshooter testing confirmed it “remained very color neutral” even at maximum 9 stops.
  • Hard stops + laser-etched markings: Rotation halts at both ends of the working range, eliminating cross-polarization; markings visible from behind the viewfinder for fast field adjustments.
  • Open Box value: Inspected open box unit at a significant discount — same optical quality, great for adding a high-stop ND to your travel filter kit without the full new-price outlay.

Newsshooter reviewed the Moment Variable ND line and found the 6–9 stop version “performed really well,” singling it out as the stronger performer of the two ranges due to its impressive color neutrality at maximum density.

Best for: Travel videographers and photographers shooting in bright sun who need to hold a 180° shutter rule and control depth of field in high-light environments. Skip it if: You shoot mostly indoors or at dawn/dusk — for lower-light conditions, the 2–5 stop range is the more versatile choice. Runs ~$74–$89 (open box) — check the current price before buying.
