About the PolarPro ARTC-CP-82
From our tech experts at CEN
A circular polarising filter, 82mm, from the Benjamin Hardman signature series.
Who it suits
Anyone shooting water, glass, foliage or skies. A polariser removes reflections and deepens colour in a way no editing can genuinely replicate, because it is removing light that never should have reached the sensor.
Our tech experts advise
Rotate it while watching the effect rather than setting and forgetting; the strength changes with your angle to the sun. Check the thread size against your lens first. get in touch for advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which filter do I need - ND, polariser or variable ND?
A: A polariser cuts glare and deepens colour. Fixed ND filters reduce light by a set amount for controlled shutter speeds. Variable NDs adjust across a range, making them the flexible choice for video. The filter type and strength are listed in the Specification tab.
Q: Will this filter fit my lens or drone?
A: Filters are made per thread size or per drone model. Check the size in the product title and Specification tab against your lens thread or drone model, or contact CEN to confirm.
Q: Do filters degrade image quality?
A: Quality glass filters are designed to be optically neutral. Cheap filters can introduce colour casts and softness, which is why we stock cinema-grade brands with strong colour accuracy.
Q: What lens size does the PolarPro Arctic CP Filter 82mm fit?
A: It threads onto lenses with an 82mm filter thread, usually printed on the front of the lens as ø82.
Q: How much light does the Arctic CP Filter let through?
A: It has 45% light transmission, about half a stop brighter than standard polarisers, which helps in low light.
Q: Will the Arctic CP Filter work with a lens hood?
A: Yes. The slim frame is designed to be lens hood compatible, and the enlarged glove-friendly grip makes the 110° rotation easy to adjust in the cold.
