Freewell’s 49mm threaded filter collection offers photographers and filmmakers a versatile set of tools to enhance color, manage reflections, create cinematic diffusion, and control exposure with precision. Built with smooth, reliable threading, each filter is fully compatible with 49mm threaded lenses and Freewell Real Lens Hoods, making them a flexible choice for both everyday shooting and creative projects.
The Freewell 49mm Circular Polarizer (CPL) Filter is designed to improve image clarity and color accuracy, especially in outdoor environments. By minimizing reflections on surfaces such as water, glass, and polished objects, the CPL helps reveal details that would otherwise be hidden by glare. This makes it particularly useful for landscape, travel, architecture, and nature photography.
Along with reducing unwanted reflections, the CPL enhances color contrast and saturation. Skies appear deeper blue, foliage becomes more vibrant, and overall images gain richness and depth. This makes the filter an excellent choice for photographers seeking vivid, clean results straight out of the camera.
The 49mm standard threading ensures compatibility with any lens featuring a 49mm filter mount, as well as Freewell Real Lens Hoods. This allows creators to use the CPL seamlessly while maintaining access to touch-free adjustment and additional lens protection.
The Freewell 49mm Black Glow Mist 1/8 Filter is designed for creators who want a gentle cinematic softness without overpowering the image. With its subtle 1/8 strength diffusion, this filter adds a light glow to highlights while maintaining sharpness in key details. It’s ideal for storytelling, portraits, interviews, beauty work, and lifestyle photography.
This diffusion effect smooths skin texture, softens contrast, and adds atmosphere to the scene — all while avoiding the overly hazy look that stronger mist filters may produce. The result is a polished, professional look suitable for both photos and video.
The filter’s smooth threading allows easy installation on any 49mm lens and makes it fully compatible with Freewell Real Lens Hoods. This ensures flexible use, whether you're shooting handheld, on a gimbal, or in a controlled studio environment.
The Freewell 49mm Gold Mist 1/4 Filter provides a distinctly warm and dreamy diffusion effect, ideal for visual storytelling that requires emotional depth. Combining soft diffusion with a warm golden tint, this filter enhances skin tones, enriches natural light, and produces a nostalgic cinematic feel.
The 1/4 strength diffusion creates a more noticeable glow compared to the 1/8 Black Mist, making it especially suitable for sunset scenes, interiors lit with warm practical lights, creative portraits, and stylized video productions.
With its reliable 49mm threading, the filter attaches smoothly to any compatible lens and works perfectly with Freewell Real Lens Hoods, offering consistency and ease of use during shoots.
The Freewell 49mm Variable ND Filter (1–5 Stop) gives creators flexible control over exposure in changing lighting conditions. By adjusting the filter’s density between 1 and 5 stops, photographers and filmmakers can control brightness without altering aperture or shutter speed.
For videographers, this allows maintaining proper motion blur at standard frame rates even in bright daylight. Photographers can use the VND to capture long exposures, smooth water, create motion trails, or balance exposure in high-contrast environments.
The Quick Thread design ensures fast and secure attachment to any 49mm threaded lens. Full compatibility with Freewell Real Lens Hoods allows creators to enjoy additional handling benefits, such as touchless adjustment and better flare control.
