CineBloom Diffusion Filters - Open Box, 5% / 77mm

$33.7
Our CineBloom Diffusion Filters are the secret sauce for capturing dreamy, film-like footage. Escape the clinical, ultra-sharp look of digital with this specialty glass. Available in densities of 5%, 10%, and 20%, they not only catch and bloom light but soften hard edges and provide a smoothing effect on skin tones, making wrinkles less noticeable. The glass itself is made by fusing a microlayer of NanoBlack particulates between two layers of top-grade Japanese filter glass, allowing us to maintain full image quality. The ring of the filter is precision machined from aerospace-grade metal and designed to be thin enough to stack underneath another filter without compromising the field of view. This means you can use an ND or VND on top of it for shooting cinematic frame rates and capturing motion blur. Take your footage to new cinematic heights with CineBloom from Moment.

Moment CineBloom 5% Diffusion Filter — A Subtle Cinematic Glow for Travel Footage

The gist: The lightest CineBloom strength adds a whisper of dreamy diffusion to travel footage — softening harsh digital edges without making the effect obvious, even to trained eyes.

  • 5% strength = natural-looking: The lightest of three CineBloom densities (5%, 10%, 20%) adds a barely-there bloom that flatters landscapes and portraits without looking filtered.
  • Film-like mist effect: Uncoated optical glass intentionally blooms highlights and wraps the whole image in a soft glow — closer to vintage cinema glass than modern flat digital sharpness.
  • Japanese optical glass + aluminum ring: Built to the same aerospace-grade standard as Moment’s premium line, with water-, grease-, and dirt-resistant coating for outdoor use.
  • Open Box value: This is a certified open box unit — same optical quality, inspected before sale, at a meaningful discount off the new price.

Photographer Alik Griffin called the CineBloom one of his favorite soft filters, noting it “blooms the whole image with a mist effect” and praising its superior build quality and consistency across the frame compared to cheaper diffusion alternatives.

Best for: Travel videographers and portrait photographers who want a subtle, film-inspired look without heavy post-processing. Skip it if: You shoot mostly indoors or in low light — the uncoated glass can increase flare in bright, direct-light situations. Runs ~$34 (open box) — check the current price before buying.
