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: Is the Goldstache filter a polariser?
A: Yes. Goldstache combines a 1/4 Gold Mist diffusion with a Chroma polariser in one filter, so you get a warm highlight glow while controlling reflections and glare.
Q: Do I need a Helix Base Plate for the Goldstache Helix?
A: Yes. Helix MagLock filters attach magnetically to a Helix Base Plate fitted to your lens. Base Plates are sold separately; CEN stocks them in 67mm, 72mm, 77mm and 82mm.
Q: How is Goldstache different from the Shortstache Everyday filter?
A: Both pair a 1/4 strength mist with a Chroma polariser. Goldstache uses a warm gold mist for a golden highlight glow, while the Shortstache Everyday uses a black mist.
