Overview

The 82mm Swift True Color VND 1-9-Stop Kit from NiSi offers great control over exposure settings, allowing the use of reduced shutter speeds and wider apertures for stunning shots. Adding density allows a wider aperture to be used for finer control over depth of field, allowing increased bokeh to help isolate the subject of an image. It can also provide a longer shutter time to add image blur or enhance an image's sense of motion. Plus, the True Color design avoids color shift, making it possible to take pictures in any condition - bright and sunny or dark and dreary. The Swift System also comes with an exposure range-control filter ring with hard stops at each end to easily dial in a desired density, without creating the "X" effect found in other products. Made of optical glass, these filters have anti-reflective multicoating to reduce lens glare and optimize light transmission. They also feature a protective nano-coating that is waterproof, making them ideal for use in any type of photography and in harsh environments. The ND4 filter can be used by itself with the Swift Friction Mount System adapter ring or added on to the NiSi True Color VND 1-5-stop variable ND filters for even more protection against light. Extends the True Color 1-5-stop VND by adding extra filters True Color 1-5-stop VND Variable Filter + ND16 (4-stop) = 5 to 9 stops Variable Neutral Density Filter offers greater control over exposure settings Allows reduced shutter speeds and wider apertures True Color filters avoid color shift seen in other variable ND filters Exposure Range-Control filter ring with hard stops at each end No "X" effect High-definition optical glass Anti-reflective and waterproof Nano Coating Optional / removable rotating lever The 4-stop ND filter can be used without the True Color VND by using included adapter ring Includes True Color VND, ND16 (4-stop), 82mm adapter ring, lens cap, and case

Questions & Answers

Common questions about filters and our rental terms. Still have a question? Email us below.

How long can I rent for?
One day up to a week or longer. Rental pricing tiers are shown in the Rental Tiers section on this page. Pickup is after 2 PM on the first day and return is by 11 AM on the last day. A weekend rental (Friday afternoon to Monday morning) counts as one rental day.
Do you deliver, or is it pickup only?
Both. GLM is based in Rockwall (far east side of DFW) and pickup at our location is free. Delivery is available across the Metroplex at published round-trip rates: Zone 1 East DFW (Rockwall, Rowlett, Mesquite, Garland) is $50. Zone 2 Dallas Metro (Dallas, Plano, McKinney, Addison) is $125. Zone 3 Central and West DFW (Irving, Grapevine, Denton, Frisco) is $200. Zone 4 Fort Worth and beyond (Fort Worth, Arlington, Mansfield) is $300. Rush same-day delivery adds $100; after-hours adds $75. West of Fort Worth or outside DFW is quoted case by case. You pick your zone at the quote review step and the fee is added to your total automatically, no separate email needed. Full rate table is on the Rental Terms page.
Do I need insurance?
A Certificate of Insurance (COI) listing Geared Like A Machine LLC as additionally insured is required for any rental where total replacement value exceeds $5,000. For smaller rentals, a credit card hold is sufficient. Our Protection Plans can cap your damage liability at 10% of replacement value.
What happens if the gear gets damaged or lost?
Damage is billed at the actual repair cost (or replacement value, whichever is less). Loss or theft is billed at current market replacement value. Our GLM Shield and Shield+ protection plans reduce your liability to 10% of replacement value. Full terms are in the Rental Terms page linked in the footer.
How do I build a quote?
