VND QuickLock Filter

Makes shooting outdoors way better, while keeping my camera settings how I like them. The QuickLock system is easy to remove, and comes with a hard case for travel.

I shoot a lot of videos outdoors, and this is definitely a game changer for shooting in Log. It can really improve the detail in your videos in sunny conditions. However, a word of warning (which can matter a lot depending on how you plan to use this filter): Even though the VND filter helps darken the footage, it doesn’t prevent glares and reflections from utterly assaulting your iPhone camera lens. I film hiking videos at the bottom of forest canyons where there are lots of creek beds, running water, condensation on boulders/tree leaves, etc. Reflections from these things can completely ruin your iPhone’s log footage, even with this VND filter cranked as dark as it can go. Also, the filter is not super secure when attached to Moment’s iPhone 17 Pro Max case. The filter can still come off without clicking the release button to remove it from the case mount. So just be careful when handling it if you’re doing any rugged high intensity type filming. The V2 model of this filter may address this issue better, but I’ve only used the V1 model.

Excellent VND Filter

Previously I had the VND QuickLock Filter for an iPhone 15 pro and loved it. Recently upgraded to a 17 pro and I like the case and filter system even better. The filters are essentially the same (excellent for taming overexposure) but the new 17/18 versions lock in better on the case. Highly recommend!
