Zero color shift.\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolarPro teamed up with Peter McKinnon again, this time to solve two outdoor problems at once: glare and shutter speed. The Chroma VND\/PL Helix stacks a polarizer inside a variable ND, so you cut reflections and pull your shutter down to cinematic levels with a single filter on the lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bi-rotational design lets you set polarization independently from the VND, so you dial exposure without wrecking your sky. PolarPro's new Chroma glass is what makes a polarizer inside a VND possible while keeping color extremely neutral. Choose 2-5 stop or 6-9 stop, clean or with a mist: Black Mist 1\/4 for subtle halation with deep blacks, or Gold Mist 1\/8 for a soft gold highlight rolloff.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWho is Peter McKinnon?
