About the PolarPro MINIMAG-EVERYDAY
From our tech experts at CEN
The PolarPro Mini MagLock ShortStache Everyday (MINIMAG-EVERYDAY) is a magnetic filter combining a circular polariser with 1/4 Black Mist diffusion. It is part of the Mini MagLock system, a compact version of Helix MagLock made for cameras such as the Leica Q3 and Fuji X100VI and for lenses with 43mm to 55mm threads. Front and rear aluminium Defender caps are included.
Who it suits
Compact camera and small-prime shooters who want one filter left on most of the time, cutting reflections while gently softening highlights. A base plate is required and sold separately, for example the X100VI base plate or a thread plate such as the 49mm Mini MagLock base plate.
Our tech experts advise
Match the base plate to your camera or lens thread before ordering. The Mag-Lock holds the filter firmly and will not release until you unlock it. Rotate the polariser while watching the screen, as the effect changes with your angle to the sun. If you are unsure which plate fits, get in touch.

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 is the ShortStache Everyday filter?
A: It combines a polariser with a 1/4 strength Black Mist diffusion filter in one Mini MagLock filter, so you get glare control and soft highlights together.
Q: Do I need a base plate for this filter?
A: Yes. A Mini MagLock base plate is required and sold separately. Dedicated plates fit the Leica Q3 and Fuji X100VI with no adapter, and thread plates fit lenses with 43mm to 55mm threads.
Q: What comes in the box?
A: The filter with a front and rear aluminium defender cap, which replaces your lens cap. The base plate is not included.
