NiSi 4x5.65in Linear Polarizer Filter
$35/day$105 / week (3× day)
A 4 x 5.65in linear polarizer in cinema-grade glass. It blocks light polarized at one orientation, so rotating it in the matte box stage dials reflections out of glass, water, foliage and paint.
When it’s the right call
Kill reflections and deepen color — see through car windshields, erase glare off glass and water, and pull richer skies out of daytime exteriors.
Where to set it up
Matte box stage; rotate the filter until the reflection dies.
Get the most out of it
- Rotate while watching the monitor — the effect sweeps in and out
- Costs 1.5–2 stops: plan exposure
- Car commercials live and die by polarizers
