Freewell Brandon Li 82mm variable ND/CPL filter set

Freewell Brandon Li 82mm Filter Kit Variable Density ND/CPL

The Freewell Brandon Li 82mm kit is a modular filter system designed for photography and videography in changing lighting conditions. It combines a VND filter with an adjustable range of 1–5 stops with a CPL polarising filter, and when the included ND32 filter is attached, it lets you extend light reduction to 6–10 stops. The kit also includes a 1/4 Glow Mist filter, an 82 mm base ring, protective caps, and storage and cleaning accessories, making the whole system ideal for both planned shots and dynamic field shooting.

Independent adjustment of VND and CPL

The VND/CPL module lets you control the amount of light and the degree of polarisation separately. The front black ring adjusts the VND filter from 1 to 5 stops, so you can quickly adapt the exposure to current conditions without frequently changing the camera settings. The rear green ring is used to adjust the CPL, which helps reduce reflections on water, glass and other non-metallic surfaces while improving colour accuracy and scene contrast.

1 to 10 stops of light reduction

In its basic configuration, the VND/CPL allows adjustment from ND2 to ND32, corresponding to a light reduction range of 1–5 stops. When the light is much stronger, an additional ND32 filter can be magnetically attached to it to extend the range to 6–10 stops, up to a level equivalent to ND1000. The ND32 filter itself can also be attached directly to the main ring, allowing you to adapt the kit configuration to a specific shot without having to carry several separate filter systems.

Magnetic Mounting and Glow Mist 1/4

The magnetic system allows filters to be attached and removed quickly, and the locking mechanism helps keep them secure during camera movement or frequent shot changes. The included Glow Mist 1/4 filter can be mounted directly on the main ring or attached magnetically to the VND/CPL module, giving you greater freedom to achieve the desired final effect. Its purpose is to gently soften the bright areas of the image and give highlights a softer quality, which can be useful in portrait, street and cinematic shots, among others.

18-Layer coatings and True Color technology

The optical design uses 18-layer optical coatings intended to reduce reflections and maintain high image clarity. The Anti-Color Shift Layer, a component of True Color technology, helps minimise unwanted colour shifts during light reduction, ensuring that colours remain as natural as possible across the filter's entire working range. The system is complemented by front and rear protective caps; the front cap features a built-in grey card that can be used for white balance checks.
