PolarPro Recon Variable ND Compact Matte Box System (Base Kit)

The PolarPro Recon Variable ND Compact Matte Box System (Base Kit) from PolarPro was engineered to eliminate the hassle of lugging around a full-size matte box while still providing the speed and versatility needed when out filming in varying lighting conditions. Powerful light control and unrivaled setup time at just a fraction of the footprint, this base kit revolutionizes the space between a full-size matte box and standalone variable neutral density filter.

Aero Hood with Flag

Featuring an aluminum lever lock, the Aero-Hood is slotted to reduce wind drag when shooting on aerial or vehicle rigs. The carbon fiber flag can be adjusted to block different light angles for reduced lens flare.

82mm Thread Base

The 82mm base acts as a mounting point for Stage 2 filters and the Areo Hood, creating an ultra-minimal matte box setup.

VND 3-6+ Variable Neutral Density Filter

This filter provides 3 to 6 stops of neutral density with no cross-polarization. When used with lenses with focal lengths beyond 35mm, maximum density of up to 7.5 stops may be achieved. It provides haptic feedback for precise results.

Stage 2 Filter Compatibility

Compatible with both the VND base and the 82mm Thread Base, the Recon Stage 2 filters are designed to allow fast filter swaps, without worrying about filter threading or touching any glass.

Defender Protective Caps

The Defender caps offer 360° protection. the front cap slides over the variable ND or threaded base to protect the filter and any additional Stage 2 filters when the Aero Hood is not attached.
