C5 Dedicated Filters
-
True Color Rotating Polarizer
Included with the Cinema Kit is the True Color PL. This filter can be used to reduce haze and help eliminate reflections and glare from a non-metallic surface.
-
True Color Variable Neutral Density
Included the Cinema and Filmmaker Kits is the True Color Variable ND. This filter reduces exposure by 1 to 5 stops and can be paired with other filters to combine effects.
Made specifically to be compatible with the 4x4" filter slot in the C5. Both filters can be used with an M0.8 focus control gear, allowing adjustments with an attached small motor or manually. Though included in some kits, they are available separately for purchase.
Included with Cinema and Filmmaker Kits
4x5.65" Full-Spectrum ND16 (1.2) 4-Stop
This neutral density filter creates a darkening of the entire image by 4 stops, allowing you to compensate for bright conditions whilst keeping your aperture, shutter speed and ISO where you need them. The Full Spectrum protection blocks your image from color-affecting light like infrared and UV.
4x5.65" Allure Mist Black 1/8
Black Mist filters add an ethereal glow around light sources while preserving the clarity of images. Get the cinema look that reduces contrast, blooms, and softens the light from strong light sources while smoothing blemishes without affecting color balance.

As a videographer for 6+ years, I've used many ND filters. Every variable ND I've ever used has had quite a noticeable color shift, and thus I've always avoided using them and stuck with fixed NDs . Once I heard about Nisi's True Color Variable ND system that supposedly has no color shift, I picked it up immediately.These test images were shot on the Sony FX3 with same ISO, aperture and white balance settings. Only the shutter speed was changed to match the exposure of the shots.As far as color, you can see from the test images I captured and the included color scopes, there is definitely a slight color shift in the warmer direction with the VND on. It is subtle, but I would not consider it "true" color as Nisi claims. The ND 1.2 filter does not appear to have any color cast and the waveforms line up almost exactly. Using them both together gives the same result as just using the VND.As far as sharpness, there is no significant loss in sharpness. I do notice a very slight loss in detail if I zoom into the images, but it is completely negligible in real world use.Final verdict:Great matte box. Very good build quality. Has that premium feel to it for sure. Being able to use both 4x4 and 4x5.56 filters with it is a huge plus. Definitely an upgrade over the Tilta Mirage which I returned because of the heavy color shift and no compatibility with 4x4 filters. Although this one still has some shift, it's probably the least I've seen with a VND, and is easily adjusted for in post (adding +6 to the color temperature in Premiere seemed to fix it close enough). The slight difference is worth not having to switch out filters constantly, so I'll most likely end up keeping this.Update: the screw to hold the 4 x 5.65 filter does not tighten enough to hold the filter. My filter fell out on the first use, and now its cracked on the side. I had to replace the screw with a longer screw.

I used this matte box for almost a year now. It sits on my camera most of the time because of the vnd. I am overall satisfied with it.Colour shiftThere is a small colour shift, it's minimal. When I do scripted work it doesn't matter since I balance with a grey card. When I shoot at outdoor events though, I set the white balance manually and see the colour shift there, easily fixed in post though.Main conSomething that I didn't see mentioned anywhere can be frustrating a bit. The main problem with this matte box and I imagine all those "mini" matte boxes is that there is no mounts for rods. At first it was mostly ok but now, I have to retighten the matte box to the lens often because it becomes loose. It dropped on the floor a couple of times, did not break so far but if I had to buy it again, I would search for something that can be secured more sturdily to my rig. I might drill the bottom and add a rod mount.Apart from this, I am very satisfied, having a VND that you can put on any lens quickly is very nice!

Im Wesentlichen hält die C5 Matte Box im Filmmaker Kit, was sie verspricht. Alles mitgelieferte Glas sieht hochwertig in der Kamera aus, die Installation der Matte Box am Objektiv (mit beigelegten Adapterringen) ist unfassbar schnell, die Gesamtgröße und das Gewicht sind angenehm und jegliche Feststellschrauben sind gut bedienbar.Mir fällt es dennoch schwer, den Kaufpreis von immerhin rund 570€ zu rechtfertigen. Die Sonnenblende ist einer von zwei kleinen, aber blöden Kritikpunkten. Mit dem Lösen der Schraube verstellt man nicht nur die Blende, sondern sie kann dabei auch widerstandslos aus der Halterung herausrutschen. Finde ich nicht gut gelöst.Ebenfalls schade finde ich das Fehlen der adäquaten Filterrahmen. Das Filmmaker Kit enthält neben dem VND zwei 4x5,65" Filter (ND16 & Mist 1/8), jedoch nur 1x einen 4x5,65" Filterrahmen und statt eines zweiten baugleichen einen quadratischen 4x4" Filterrahmen ohne sinnvolle Verwendung. Einen zweiten 4x5,65" Filterrahmen darf ich mir jetzt auf der Herstellerseite für nochmal 33€+6€ Versand bestellen. Einfach schade, weil die Matte Box sonst echt gut ist.
