Description
Introducing the SmallRig 4649
The SmallRig 4649 VND Filter Kit combines dual CPL+VND functionality with a quick-release magnetic attachment for maximum security and ease of use. By combining CPL1 and CPL2 , the kit delivers a VND effect of 2 to 5 stops ; with CPL1 and CPL3 , it covers 6 to 9 stops . Innovative hard stops and light transmission limiting technology eliminate the X-pattern effect . Designed to ensure high definition across the entire focal range, it offers exemplary color reproduction in the 350700 nm band with minimal distortion . Its design ensures vignetting-free rendering at focal lengths 16 mm ( 0.016 m ). The kit comes with a dustproof cap and lens cover for careful protection against dust.
The SmallRig 4649 integrates with the SmallRig ecosystem (compatible with products 3556 / 3645 / 3641 / 3646 ) and is used exclusively with an adjustable clamp . The magnetic assembly facilitates photo/video transitions in handheld , gimbal , or shoulder-mounted configurations , and is also suitable for professional setups on camera rails, tripods, and stabilizers.
SmallRig 4649: and Key Uses
Dual CPL+VND offers unparalleled exposure flexibility: choose between a 25 stop range (CPL1+CPL2) for most daytime scenes, or 69 stops (CPL1+CPL3) for extremely bright environments. Hard stops allow for precise and repeatable adjustments, while the light transmission limit algorithm prevents the VND X-pattern . Optical quality results in high definition and accurate color reproduction across the 350700 nm spectrum .
The kit has product dimensions of Ø102.8 mm × 8.5 mm ( Ø0.1028 m × 0.0085 m) and weighs 108 ± 5 g. The packaging measures approximately 0.05 m × 0.1235 m × 0.16 m and weighs 243 ± 5 g. Materials: aluminum alloy, magnet, glass.
Case studies
Landscape Photography : Achieve detailed skies without overexposure thanks to the 25 stop VND , and avoid vignetting at focal lengths greater than 0.016 m (full-frame). CPL controls reflections on water and wet rocks.
Lightweight Video Creation (ID 4409): quick-release mount ideal for handheld or gimbal shooting , with instant ND changes without unscrewing.
Professional Video Setup (ID 4411): switch to camera rail/tripod/stabilizer configuration while maintaining adjustment precision thanks to hard stops .
Photo and Video Filter Kit (ID 4412): a quick and versatile to switch between photography and video while preserving faithful colorimetry (350700 nm).
Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Does the kit create vignetting on wide-angle lenses?
No, it offers vignetting-free performance for focal lengths 16 mm ( 0.016 m ).
2. How to obtain the different VND ranges?
Use CPL1 + CPL2 for 25 stops and CPL1 + CPL3 for 69 stops, with smooth adjustment and hard stops.
3. Can the X pattern appear?
The system combines hard stops and light transmission limitation to eliminatethe VND X-pattern.
4. What about color accuracy?
The kit ensures high definition and excellent color reproduction with minimal distortion over 350700 nm.
5. Which systems is it compatible with?
It integrates into theSmallRig ecosystem (products 3556 / 3645 / 3641 / 3646) and is compatible only with an adjustable clamp.
Highlights of the SmallRig 4649:
- Dual CPL+VND : two ND ranges (25 / 69 stops) for exposure control.
- Magnetic quick-release : quick and secure assembly/disassembly.
- Hard stops + anti X-pattern : precise adjustment without artifacts.
- High definition & faithful colours : spectral range 350700 nm.
- Design without vignetting0.016 m : wide angles preserved.
