About the PolarPro MINIMAG-25
From our tech experts at CEN
The PolarPro Mini MagLock VND 2-5 is a 2–5 stop variable ND filter for the Mini MagLock magnetic system, a compact version of PolarPro's Helix MagLock. It is designed for the Leica Q3 and Fuji X100VI, and also fits lenses with threads from 43mm to 55mm. A Mini MagLock base plate is required and sold separately.
Who it suits
This filter suits photographers with compact cameras who shoot in bright conditions and need flexible exposure control without swapping multiple fixed ND filters. It is well suited to travel, street and everyday photography where a low-profile filter system matters.
Our tech experts advise
A Mini MagLock base plate is required before this filter can be used. Choose a dedicated plate for the Leica Q3 or Fuji X100VI, or a threaded plate in 43mm, 46mm, 49mm, 52mm or 55mm. The Mag-Lock holds the filter securely until you release it, and the included aluminium defender caps replace your lens cap front and rear. See the PolarPro collection for base plates and companion filters.

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: Why use an ND filter for video?
A: An ND filter lets you keep your shutter speed at roughly double your frame rate in bright light, which produces natural motion blur instead of a harsh, choppy look.
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: How many stops of ND does this filter give?
A: It gives 2 to 5 stops of variable ND control.
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.
