FREEWELL VND/CPL filter set Brandon Li 86 mm FW-BL86-GMVNDKIT

The Freewell Brandon Li 86 mm ND/CPL filter kit is a comprehensive Cinema-series system designed for lenses with an 86 mm thread and for larger photo and cinema lenses. It combines a 1–5 stop variable ND (VND) filter with an independently adjustable CPL polarizer, an additional ND32 filter that extends light reduction to 6–10 stops, and a 1/4 Cine Glow Mist filter for a subtle softening effect.

The VND density is set with the black ring across 1 to 5 stops, while the green ring adjusts polarization, helping to reduce reflections from water, glass and other non-metallic surfaces. You can set exposure for the scene first and then adjust polarization separately, without stacking a separate CPL filter. Adding the ND32 extends the range to 6 to 10 stops, giving you control over shutter speed and aperture in both low light and bright daylight. The Glow Mist 1/4 diffuses bright areas of the frame for a softer, more cinematic look.

The filters attach via a magnetic mount that locks mechanically with a short twist, making changes quick and secure. The kit includes an 86 mm base ring, front and rear protective covers, a filter pouch, a carrying case, an attachment clip and a cleaning cloth. The set weighs 156 g.
