H&Y 77mm HD Nova-Series Magnetic Variable ND3-32 (1.5 - 5 stops) + CPL Filter Kit

Precision Light Control for Cinematic Creativity
The H&Y 77mm HD Nova-Series Magnetic Variable ND3-32 + CPL Filter Kit is crafted for photographers and filmmakers who demand complete control over light and reflections. In dynamic shooting environments, managing exposure while maintaining creative intent can be a constant challenge.

Many creators struggle with overexposed footage in bright conditions or are forced to compromise shutter speed and aperture settings. This filter kit solves that with a variable ND range of 1.5 to 5 stops, allowing you to fine-tune light intake effortlessly while preserving cinematic motion blur and depth of field.

With precise control at your fingertips, every frame becomes a deliberate creative decision.

Magnetic Quick-Swap System for Seamless Workflow
Traditional screw-on filters can slow down your workflow, especially when you need to switch filters quickly during fast-paced shoots. Cross-threading, time delays, and missed moments are common frustrations.

The H&Y Nova-Series features a magnetic mounting system, enabling instant attachment and removal of filters. This innovation ensures you can switch between ND and CPL configurations in seconds, without interrupting your shooting rhythm.

It’s designed for creators who can’t afford to miss the perfect shot.

Combined ND and CPL for Ultimate Versatility
Using separate filters for light control and polarization often leads to stacking issues, vignetting, and reduced image quality. Managing multiple filters can also complicate your setup.

This kit integrates Variable ND and Circular Polarizer (CPL) functionality, giving you the power to control both exposure and reflections simultaneously. Reduce glare from water and glass, enhance skies, and maintain balanced exposure—all with a single streamlined solution.

It simplifies your gear while expanding your creative possibilities.

HD Optical Glass for Superior Image Quality
One of the biggest concerns with filters is image degradation—loss of sharpness, color shifts, and unwanted artifacts. Low-quality filters can compromise even the best camera systems.

The H&Y HD Nova-Series uses premium optical glass with advanced coatings, ensuring exceptional clarity, accurate colors, and minimal distortion. Your images remain sharp, vibrant, and true to life, even in challenging lighting conditions.

With uncompromised image quality, your visuals stand out with professional precision.

Built for Durability and Outdoor Shooting
Outdoor shooting environments can be unpredictable, exposing your gear to dust, moisture, and physical wear. Fragile filters often fail under demanding conditions.

This filter kit is designed with durable construction and protective coatings, making it resistant to scratches, water, and oil. Whether you’re shooting landscapes, travel content, or urban scenes, it’s built to handle real-world conditions.

You can focus on creativity without worrying about equipment limitations.

Why H&Y 77mm Nova Magnetic VND+CPL Kit Is Better

The H&Y Nova-Series kit represents a significant advancement over traditional filter solutions. Unlike standard screw-in filters, which are slow to attach and prone to cross-threading, the Nova's magnetic system offers unparalleled speed. Compared to carrying separate VND and CPL filters, this integrated solution is lighter, more compact, and eliminates the risk of image degradation from stacking multiple glass elements. Furthermore, its specialized design with an oversized front element directly addresses the vignetting issues that plague many other variable ND filters when used on wide-angle lenses, ensuring a clean, uncompromised field of view.

Advantages

For Videographers:

• Instantly adapt exposure from 1.5 to 5 stops without altering aperture or ISO, maintaining a consistent depth of field and motion blur.
  
• Effortlessly cut glare and reflections from windows, water, and foliage for a more professional, cinematic look.
  
• The magnetic system is ideal for fast-paced documentary, event, and commercial shoots where lighting is unpredictable.

For Landscape Photographers:

• Shoot with wide apertures like f/1.4 in bright sun to achieve beautiful background separation without overexposing your images.

FAQs for H&Y 77mm HD Nova-Series Magnetic Variable ND3-32 (1.5 - 5 stops) + CPL Filter Kit

Q: What does ND3-32 mean?

A: It refers to the range of light reduction the filter provides. ND3 is equivalent to 1.5 stops of reduction, while ND32 provides 5 stops of reduction, allowing you to use slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright light.

Q: How does the magnetic system work?

A: The filter itself attaches magnetically to an included adapter ring that you screw onto your lens. This allows for instant attachment and removal. The front is also magnetic for adding the lens cap or other compatible filters.

Q: Can I use the CPL and VND functions separately?

A: No, the CPL and VND are integrated into a single filter unit for a streamlined, high-performance design. You can, however, adjust the effect of each one independently.

Q: How do I adjust the CPL and VND?

A: You rotate the entire filter frame to adjust the circular polarizer's effect. To change the neutral density, you move the small, luminous handle independently.

Q: Will this filter cause vignetting on my wide-angle lens?

A: The Nova-Series is specifically designed with an oversized front element to minimize or eliminate vignetting, even on ultra-wide-angle lenses.

Q: Does this filter have the 'X' pattern common in other VNDs?

A: The H&Y Nova series is engineered to prevent the 'X' or cross-polarization pattern within its specified 1.5-5 stop range, ensuring clean images.

Q: How do I clean the filter?

A: Thanks to the nano-coating, dust and smudges can be easily wiped away with a microfiber cloth. For stubborn spots, use a dedicated lens cleaning solution and cloth.

Q: Can I stack other filters on top of this one?

A: Yes, the front of the Nova filter is magnetic and compatible with H&Y's EVO-series magnetic filters, allowing you to add effects like black mist or fixed NDs.

Q: Is this filter compatible with H&Y's RevoRing system?

A: No, the Nova-series filters are not compatible with the Swift system or RevoRing series filters.
