Formatt Hitech Firecrest Cine Superslim 4 x 5.65" Black Supermist 1/8 Filter

OVERVIEW

The Formatt Hitech Firecrest Cine Superslim 4 x 5.65" Black Supermist 1/8 Filter is designed for the all those times when you need a cinema camera setup with minimum weight, whether that’s to fly on a drone, Steadicam, gimbal, or just to lighten the load on your back when you have to carry your own kit. They are the lightest possible 4x5.65 cinema grade glass filter, weighing in at around half of an equivalent standard thickness 4mm ND filter, while maintaining the same excellent neutrality and optical quality that Firecrest filters have become renowned for.

This makes them the perfect solution to marry with ultra-lightweight matte boxes like the Bright Tangerine Misfit Atom. For ARRI standard matteboxes a dedicated 2mm filter tray from Formatt is available. This will allow the filters to be used in most Bright Tangerine, Chroziel, Wooden Camera and ARRI matteboxes.

Black and Clear Supermist is a contrast reduction filter made from small dark or clear color particulate slightly larger than most pixel sizes and bonded inside the filter. The light path is diffused creating a reduction in fine detail and contrast.

The Black Supermist softens the fine detail and reduces the contrast but is more subtle than a Clear Supermist with less raise of contrast in shadow areas. It still has the same effect of causing lights to bloom and halate depending on the density of the filter.
