Every visual storyteller knows how quickly lighting conditions can change and how essential it is to adapt in the moment. The NiSi JetMag Pro VND is crafted for real-world shooting, delivering smooth and reliable light control through an innovative magnetic system designed for life on the move. Whether you capture fast-paced action or the soft glow of golden hour, this variable ND filter lets you stay in the creative flow without interruption.
You Asked. We Made It.
After launching the original JetMag Pro system, we kept hearing one request more than any other, “When is the VND coming?” So we listened. The JetMag Pro VND builds on everything creators already love, speed, reliability, and flexibility, and brings a truly refined Variable ND experience with features designed for real-world production.
What Does a Variable ND Filter Do?
A Variable ND (neutral density) filter gives you greater control over your exposure by reducing the amount of light entering the lens, without affecting colour or sharpness. Rather than switching between multiple fixed ND filters as lighting conditions change, you can rotate a single VND to fine-tune the exact level of light reduction you need.
This allows you to shoot wide open in bright daylight for a shallow depth of field, capture motion blur in daylight, or maintain proper shutter speeds for video. It allows you to adjust your settings without compromising your creative intent, whether you shoot stills, video, or both.
Filmmakers rely on VNDs to maintain the 180-degree shutter rule in bright light without overexposing. Photographers use them to capture smooth water and motion trails or to shoot wide open at midday. If you film weddings, run-and-gun interviews, travel vlogs, or social content outdoors, this tool gives you control without slowing you down.

Why the Variable ND Is the Most Versatile ND Filter
With a single Variable ND, you gain multi-stop light control that adapts to changing conditions without interrupting your workflow. This makes it ideal for fast-paced environments, location shoots, and hybrid creators who value efficiency and flexibility.
JetMag Pro vs. Traditional Variable ND Filters
The JetMag Pro VND stands out from traditional variable ND filters in several ways. Its magnetic locking system is faster and more secure than screw-on filters. Built-in hard stops prevent over-rotation and eliminate the risk of introducing the unwanted X-pattern. True Colour optics preserve accurate tones across the entire ND range, while the detachable lever and dual-sided markings make quick adjustments straightforward and intuitive.
Traditional filters often suffer from colour shifts, bulk, or compatibility issues. The JetMag Pro’s slim, oversized design avoids these problems at most focal lengths and stacks easily with other filters, helping you adapt without compromise.
Built for the Way You Actually Shoot
The JetMag Pro VND was designed to match how creators work in real-world scenarios. The magnetic mount features colour-coded alignment for fast and reliable attachment. Dual-sided stop markings are easy to read, no matter how your camera is rigged, and the detachable control lever allows for responsive adjustment, even when wearing gloves or working in tight setups.
You can reposition the lever on either side to suit your setup. This attention to detail helps you stay focused on the scene, not your gear. Whether hiking with a rig over your shoulder or making adjustments mid-take, you will notice the difference in speed and usability.
A Built-In Magic Trick: Rotate to Adjust Polarisation
The JetMag Pro VND also functions as a circular polariser. Once you have set your desired ND strength, simply rotate the entire filter to control reflections and glare, ideal for water, windows, or reflective surfaces. It is two filters in one, built into a single compact design.
Creative Control Through Smart Stacking
When one filter is insufficient, you can easily build on the VND. Stack a 4-stop ND to extend your range in bright light from 1-5 to 5-9 stops, or add a Black Mist filter to soften highlights and introduce cinematic character. The VND’s slim profile allows you to combine filters without creating a bulky setup.
Unlike traditional setups that require stepping rings or bulky matte boxes, JetMag filters mount quickly and easily. Whether switching between interviews and B-roll, or moving from golden hour to harsh midday sun, stacking gives you complete control in seconds.
This modular approach benefits hybrid creators, small crews, or fast-changing environments where flexibility is essential.
Real-World-Ready Design
The JetMag Pro VND features nano-coatings that reduce reflections and resist moisture, dust, and fingerprints, keeping your shots clean and sharp. These coatings provide matte box-level protection in a compact form, helping you maintain image quality without the need for extra gear.
For handheld creators, travel filmmakers, and commercial crews alike, it solves everyday challenges, with no more juggling filter threads, cleaning smudged front elements between takes, or mounting a matte box just to control reflections. It is clean, lightweight, and always ready.
Three Buying Options for Every Workflow
Whether upgrading your gear or starting fresh, the JetMag Pro VND is available in three tailored configurations.
The first is a standalone 1–5 stop Variable ND filter, ideal for creators who already own JetMag accessories and want to keep their setup minimal.
The VND Flex Kit includes the same 1–5 stop VND, magnetic adapter rings, front and back caps, and a padded case for those needing a ready-to-use kit. It offers a complete, streamlined setup for everyday shooting that works across multiple lens filter sizes.
If your work requires even greater flexibility, the VND 1–9 Mist Creator Kit expands your options by combining the 1–5 stop VND with a 4-stop ND and a 1/8 Black Mist filter. This kit also includes adapter rings, front and back caps, and a durable carrying case, making it ideal for stylised looks and changing lighting conditions.
Each version supports a range of use cases, from creators upgrading their first kit to working professionals looking for a flexible solution. You do not need to overthink your setup, as the right level of control is already built in.
Control the Light. Keep the Look.
The JetMag Pro VND is not just a filter, it is a creative tool designed to match the pace of modern production. It offers fast exposure control, polarisation, and optional stacking, all in one compact build.
This is the Variable ND you asked for, built the way you need it.
