Real Locking CPL Filter for Glare Reduction and Color Enhancement

The Real Locking CPL Filter is designed exclusively for the L1 base ring. It reduces glare from reflective surfaces such as water, glass, and wet roads, delivering richer colors and improved contrast. The CPL filter uses the same press-tab locking system for fast, secure attachment and is ideal for outdoor shoots in bright conditions.

Real Locking UV Filter for Lens Protection and Improved Clarity

The Real Locking UV Filter blocks harmful ultraviolet light, reducing haze and improving image clarity—especially useful for high-altitude or seaside shoots. It also acts as a protective filter, safeguarding the lens from dust, scratches, and accidental impact when used on its own.

Real Locking Black Glow Mist 1/4 Filter for Cinematic Highlight Bloom

The Black Glow Mist 1/4 Filter creates a soft bloom around highlights, enhancing the cinematic mood of video and stills. Use it alone for a dreamy effect or stack it with the VND/CPL for combined exposure and glow control. The secure locking tabs ensure stability, even when stacked.

Real Locking White Snow Mist 1/4 Filter for Dreamy Soft-Focus Effects

The White Snow Mist 1/4 Filter gently diffuses highlights and bright areas, producing an ethereal look ideal for portraits and artistic shots. It can be used standalone or stacked with the VND/CPL, allowing full exposure and polarization control while adding a soft atmospheric effect.

Real Locking ND32/Black Glow Mist 1/4 Filter for Dual Light Control and Cinematic Effects

This ND32/Black Glow Mist filter combines 5 stops of light reduction with cinematic highlight bloom in one unit. Use it alone for balanced exposure and artistic softness or stack it with the VND/CPL for up to 10+ stops of light control, ideal for long-exposure photography.

Real Locking ND4 Filter for Subtle 2-Stop Light Reduction

The ND4 Filter reduces light by 2 stops, making it perfect for lightly overcast conditions. It enables slower shutter speeds and prevents overexposure while preserving image quality with True Color Optics.

Real Locking ND32 Filter for 5-Stop Light Reduction in Bright Conditions

The ND32 Filter offers 5 stops of light reduction, helping maintain correct exposure in intense sunlight. It’s ideal for wide-aperture shooting in bright environments, allowing cinematic depth of field without overexposing.

Real Locking Base Rings and NFC Lens Caps for Secure Mounting and Protection

The Real Locking system uses precision-fit base rings ranging from 49mm to 82mm, each with a two-tab NFC locking cap. These base rings serve as the mounting foundation for all filters in the L1 lineup. The NFC caps protect the lens from dust, dirt, and scratches while offering quick digital access to manuals and support.

How to Install and Use the Real Locking VND/CPL Filter System

Step 1 – Install the Base Ring
Thread the appropriate size base ring onto your camera lens until it’s secure.

Step 2 – Attach the VND 3–7 Stop Filter
Align the filter tabs with the base ring slots. Press both tabs inward, mount the filter, then release to lock it in place.

Step 3 – Adjust VND Strength and Polarization

1. Rotate the front black ring to set your ND level (3–7 stops).
2. Slightly press the tabs and rotate the rear red ring to fine-tune polarization.

Step 4 – Stack ND32 with VND 3–7 Stop
Press both tabs on the ND32, align its white line with the one on the VND, and release to lock for up to 10 stops of light control.

Step 5 – Use Standalone Filters (Optional)
Press the tabs to mount a CPL, ND, Mist, or UV filter directly onto the base ring.

Step 6 – Stack Mist Filters in Front of VND 3–7 Stop (Optional)
With the VND/CPL mounted, press the tabs on a Glow Mist 1/4, Snow Mist 1/4, or ND32/Glow Mist 1/4 filter. Align the white marks and snap into place for soft bloom and atmospheric effects.

Step 7 – Protect Your Filter
Press the tabs on the NFC lens cap and attach it to your VND 3–7 Stop for dust and scratch protection.
