49mm Variable ND Filter True Color ND2-ND32 with 28 Layers of Anti-reflection Green Film Waterproof, Anti-scratch Nano-Xcel Series
SKU: KF01.2153
I am quite happy with this variable neutral density filter. No color shift at all. I still have one that is green as I will probably sell it.

Covers exactly the area you need for video productions. No more annoying filter changes. Good Job Kentfaith.

No X-pattern, virtually no color cast, and a 1-5 stop range (vs. the more common 2-5) make the Kentfaith True Color ND Vario the best variable ND on the market for most situations. Technically, a little extra warmth can be noticed in head-to-head comparisons, but it's almost impossible to tell otherwise and close enough to be matched in post with no ill effects on compressed photos or video.
I wish the IR filtering was implemented in True Color, but maybe the technology used here doesn't allow for that. Because IR is not filtered, certain lighting conditions can be undesirable or even unusable, especially when more visible light is cut off. Assuming (possibly erroneously) that one flaw is a necessary compromise for the True Color's unmatched color accuracy, I feel the True Color ND-Vario is as perfect as a VND can get, and first VND that doesn't feel like a compromise between accuracy and practicality.
Here's hoping for a true color version of their 5-9 stop next!

ND2 - ND32 Variable Filter.
Since there is a lever on the rotating bezel, it is easy to operate, and since it
rotates with a moderate load, fine adjustments are very easy to make and is mainly used for video recording. However, it
is good that it does not shift easily even when operating a gimbal.
The variable filter I used previously
sometimes had bumps in the center which made the dimming more severe, but I'm
also pleased that this product doesn't have that.
The coating is also oil resistant and
oil is
easy to wipe off even if you accidentally touch it.
The case supplied is
also very sturdy so you don't have to worry about it getting damaged while carrying it and it's
great value for money.
