FAQs
What is the main benefit of using a Variable ND filter?
A Variable ND filter allows you to reduce the amount of light entering your camera lens without changing your aperture or shutter speed. This is crucial for maintaining creative control, such as achieving a shallow depth of field or a cinematic motion blur, even in bright shooting conditions.
Can I use this filter with any iPhone?
No, this specific filter is designed for iPhone 15, 16, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max. Additionally, it requires a compatible Moment case or lens mount for attachment.
How do I know when the filter is securely attached?
The QuickLock mount features a mechanism that clicks into place when the filter is properly secured. The hard stops at the minimum and maximum ND settings also indicate proper engagement.
Will this filter affect the color of my video footage?
The filter is designed with a neutral color profile to minimize color shifts. However, at extreme ND settings (higher stops), slight color casts can occur with any variable ND filter. Moment's design aims to keep these shifts accurate and manageable.
How do I adjust the ND level?
You adjust the ND level by rotating the outer ring of the filter. The knurling provides a grip, and the hard stops prevent you from accidentally going past the 2-stop or 7-stop range.
What is the difference between this and a fixed ND filter?
A fixed ND filter has a single, set density (e.g., ND8, ND64). A variable ND filter allows you to dial in a range of densities, offering more flexibility in different lighting conditions without needing to swap filters.
Troubleshooting
Filter is difficult to attach or remove.
Ensure there is no debris on the QuickLock mount or the filter threads. Confirm you are using a compatible Moment case or lens mount. Try a gentle, steady twist.
Image appears darker than expected, even at the lowest ND setting.
Verify the filter is set to the 2-stop minimum setting. Ensure the filter is clean and correctly seated on the lens.
Noticeable color cast or shift in the footage.
Ensure the filter is securely attached and not over-rotated beyond its hard stops. Check if the filter surface is clean. If the issue persists, contact Moment support.
Wobbling or instability of the filter on the phone.
This typically indicates a compatibility issue with the case or mount. Ensure you are using a Moment-branded accessory designed for your specific iPhone model and the filter.
