The PolarPro Helix VND 2/5 Filter McKinnon Edition is designed for the Helix magnetic filter system and provides exposure reduction of 2 to 5 stops. It darkens the entire area of the image, allowing for a wider aperture or slower shutter speed. The increase in neutral density offers better control over shutter speeds or aperture settings for photos and videos.

Using a faster shutter speed makes it possible to increase motion blur, conveying a sense of movement. The increased density allows for shooting with wider lens apertures, helping to isolate a subject from the background and enhancing the bokeh.

The front ring has a numbered scale of stop values and provides tactile feedback with clicks, making precise adjustments easier. The ring features a side latch for secure grip and quick attachment.

The Helix system offers a completely secure connection with a magnetic attachment and a quarter-turn locking mechanism, facilitating the installation and removal of filters. The advanced locking system ensures that the filters stay in place, even in the most demanding shooting situations.
