Neutral Density filters are the most important accessory in digital cinematography as cameras sensor base sensitivity peaks from Iso 800 to 3600, also usage of neutral density filters create IR pollution and digital sensor partially sensitive to IR (Infra Red)wavelength.

So we need a filter that controls light and also blocks IR wavelength that made to use IRND filters before lens as a part of outdoor cinematography.

But adding ND /IRND filters before lens as to be carefully dealt with a perfect mattebox and see that internal reflections doesn’t appear is now a days a task in a days of run&gun shooting schedule.

For this KIPPERTIE has come up with a classic solution by introducing Internal IRND filters specifically designed for RED DSMC 2 Cameras.

KipperTie announced an active EF or PL lens adapter for RED cameras, that comes with an integrated ND filter wheel. The KipperTie REVOLVA is suitable for any RED Scarlet W/Epic W/Weapon DSMC2 model.

This best-of-class neutral density kit consists of six filters built with Full Spectrum-ND, as they are truly neutral in response across visible and near-IR light.  This means zero colour shifts and zero IR problems.

Being internal filters, you’re free to use any lens at all without the additional cost and rigging of a mattebox. What’s more you are far less likely to suffer internal reflections and other artefacts of large expensive drop-in filters.

The set ships in a top quality custom designed hard case, with the kit consisting of:

  • ND 0.6
  • ND 0.9
  • ND 1.2
  • ND 1.5
  • ND 1.8
  • ND 2.1
  • Insertion tool
  • 6x self adhesive backfocus shims
  • Custom hard case

As the glass area is bigger, to accommodate the larger sensor size. For future proofing and simplicity it is possible to use the VV size filter in an S35 camera.

This IRND filters are easy to insert in a few seconds just by placing in front of camera sensor.
