Variable ND Filters Plus+ - 49mm / ND2-32 (1-5 Stop), 43mm / ND8-128 (3-7 Stop)

Urth Variable ND Filters Plus+ (49mm/43mm combo) — one filter pack, two lenses covered

The gist: A travel-friendly way to get cinematic, slowed-shutter footage in bright daylight on two different lens threads without carrying a full set of fixed NDs.

• Dual stop ranges: The 49mm covers ND2-32 (1-5 stops) for overcast or shaded shots, while the 43mm covers ND8-128 (3-7 stops) for harsh midday sun — one pack, two shooting scenarios.
• German Schott B270 glass: The same optical glass Urth uses across its Plus+ line, built for high clarity rather than a soft, hazy image.
• 20-layer nano coating: Resists water, oil, dust, and fingerprints — useful on a beach shoot or humid rainforest hike where lens smudges are constant.
• Twist-to-adjust: One filter replaces multiple fixed-density NDs, so you're not lens-cap juggling on a moving tour bus or boat.

Amateur Photographer's review of Urth's Variable ND Plus+ line found it "maintains detail levels well" against non-filtered shots, though it flagged that variable NDs can show polarization banding at extreme angles and a slight color cast at their strongest setting — both easy to correct in raw or with a quick white balance fix.

Best for: Travel videographers shooting b-roll across changing light — bright beaches, shaded old towns — who don't want to carry a bag of single-density filters. Skip it if: you shoot mostly wide-angle landscapes, where variable ND polarization artifacts show up most. Runs around $70 — check the current price before buying.
