Kit B - 138mm + 4x5.65
Our latest solution for those working with smaller matte boxes like the Bright Tangerine Misfit Atom Pola +, or for those using matte boxes where the 4x5.65 stages are already used up with filtration/ tray mounted diopters, making use of the spare 138mm tray in the rear.
Kit B can also be used with the new Bright Tangerine 2-stage ONE Tray as well as popular Arri LMB and MB with 4x5.65 and 138mm trays.
Optimized for lighter matte boxes, this kit is a perfect solution for Steadicam and gimbal work.Placing the 138mm Circular Polarizer in the rear donut or 138mm rotating filter holder of the matte box, and the rectangular 4x5.65 filter in front, simply rotate the 138mm filter for a variable neutral density effect between 2-8 stops.
Kit C - ONE Tray
Kit C includes everything in Kit B plus the Bright Tangerine ONE Tray which is a single filter tray that takes 2 stages of your matte box at once.Placing the 138mm Circular Polarizer in the rear rotating stage of the ONE Tray and the rectangular 4x5.65 filter in front, simply rotate the 138mm filter for a variable neutral density effect between 2-8 stops.

On brighter days, put your exposure in the sweet spot of the Vari ND: Your 2-8 stop ND can become a 4-10 stops or 6-12 stops ND for example, with no extra matte box space needed, simply by adding a Superslim ND in combination with the Superslim Linear Pola; one half of our Vari ND kit.
