  • Cinematic look with reduced highlights and lower contrast

  • Extra black-speck layer keeps detail loss minimal
  • Nano coating is waterproof and anti-reflective
  • Fits 77mm Swift System and True Color VND

Cinematic Diffusion Filter

The NiSi Black Mist 1/4 Filter is a diffusion filter designed for the NiSi Swift System and True Color VND. It reduces highlights and lowers contrast to create a soft, pastel-like quality of light. An extra layer of black specks minimises detail loss compared to traditional diffusion filters. The nano coating is waterproof and anti-reflective.

Swift System Integration

This filter mounts directly onto the Swift System adapter ring or couples with NiSi True Color VND 1-5 stop and 5-9 stop filters. The design allows stacking additional filters on the front of the VND for expanded creative control. It provides a cinematic look by softening wrinkles and blemishes without heavy resolution penalty. The coating resists water and reflections in varied conditions.

Compatibility Check

Verify that your lens uses a 77mm thread or that you own the NiSi Swift System adapter ring for your specific lens diameter. Confirm you have a NiSi True Color VND if you intend to stack this filter in front of it. The filter is not compatible with standard screw-in filter threads without the Swift adapter. Ensure your filter holder system matches the Swift mounting mechanism.

Questions about this item

Does the nano coating on the 77mm Black Mist filter need re-application over time?

The nano coating is a permanent factory layer that is waterproof and anti-reflective; it does not wear off or require re-application during normal use.

What optical limit appears first when stacking this filter with a True Color VND on the Swift System?

Vignetting at wide focal lengths is the first practical limit when adding the Black Mist 1/4 in front of a variable ND on the same 77mm Swift stack.

How much extra heat does the filter add during all-day video shoots?

The filter is passive glass with nano coating; it generates no heat and does not increase the lens barrel temperature during continuous operation.
