Nisi ND1000 150x150mm
$50.00 /day
The definitive optical master tool for extreme daytime long exposures and creative motion-blur styling, the NiSi 150x150mm Nano IR Solid ND1000 (3.0) Filter is now available for rental in Hong Kong. Specifically engineered for large-frame 150mm square filter holder systems and premium ultra-wide bulbous lenses, this heavy-duty 10-stop solid neutral density filter utilizes high-definition optical glass and exclusive infrared (IR) coating protection to deliver flawless color neutrality and absolute sharpness under intense ambient light. (Note: This rental listing covers the square glass filter plate only; 150mm filter holders and adapter rings are available for add-on rent separately.)
A 10% damage waiver fee will be applied to your order in the rental basket unless proof of own insurance can be supplied.
The NiSi 150x150mm Nano IR Solid ND1000 (3.0) Filter is a premium, high-performance large-format optical light management asset engineered for professional commercial cinematographers, elite landscape photographers, and demanding studio crews, making it an essential tool for gear hire in Hong Kong. Delivering a massive 10-stop light reduction, this 150mm solid neutral density glass plate allows production teams to achieve extreme motion blur or completely flatten moving elements under blazing daylight, completely bypassing exposure clipping with zero color casting or peripheral resolution loss.
When executing an equipment hire for high-stakes commercial advertising campaigns, ultra-long-exposure coastal seascapes in Sai Kung, or structural architecture tracking with bulbous lenses across Central, high-density neutral density plates easily suffer from severe infrared light leaks. The NiSi Nano IR series solves this critical color fidelity bottleneck flawlessly. By treating the high-definition optical glass with an integrated Infrared Protection Coating layer, it blocks infrared light waves completely. This ensures your digital frames retain absolute color neutrality, clean highlights, and rich contrast even under harsh continuous studio lighting or direct midday sun, while the oversized 150mm footprint completely eliminates mechanical vignetting on flagship ultra-wide optics.
Applicable Scenarios:
-
Extreme Daytime Long Exposures: Extends exposure times aggressively under direct midday sun, transforming crowded tourist spaces into empty sets and smoothing out harsh movement layouts completely.
-
Premium Landscape Smoothing Runs: Turns choppy sea waves and rushing water layouts into a perfectly flat, silky, ethereal aesthetic along Victoria Harbour or local coastlines.
-
Ultra-Wide Large-Format Cinema: Slides perfectly into heavy-duty 150mm matte boxes or custom holders mounted on bulbous ultra-wide lenses, delivering clean, uncompromised wide tracking layers.
-
Precise 10-Stop Solid Light Reduction: Lowers light transmission uniformly down to a 0.1% baseline (ND1000 / 3.0), extending exposure parameters to the extreme without altering original image contrast.
-
Integrated Infrared (IR) Protection Coating: Blocks unwanted infrared light wavelengths completely to eliminate the muddy magenta or warm color casts common in high-density filter runs.
-
High-Definition Optical Glass Architecture: Precision-milled optical glass guarantees absolute edge-to-edge sharpness and zero resolution loss on flagship high-pixel sensors.
-
Nano Multi-Layer Anti-Reflective Coating: Double-sided coating delivers exceptional water, oil, and scratch resistance, making on-set cleanup fast and seamless.
-
Oversized 150x150mm Ultra-Wide Clearance: Large surface area is engineered explicitly for professional ultra-wide angle lenses, completely preventing corner clipping.

(Note: Specialized add-ons like 150mm square filter holders, dedicated ultra-wide lens adapter rings, and sturdy studio tripods are available for add-on rent separately at our Hong Kong studio.)
-
Q: Are 150mm square filter holders, camera lenses, or stepping rings included inside this standard rental listing?
A: No, they are not. This specific rental listing covers the NiSi 150x150mm square glass filter plate only. It is designed for production teams who already own or are separately renting a heavy-duty 150mm filter holder system optimized for large-format setups or ultra-wide bulbous lenses. If you require a completely operational configuration, please remember to add a matching 150mm square holder and dedicated lens adapters to your Hong Kong gear allocation.

Q: What is the exact creative advantage of picking a heavy 10-stop ND1000 filter over a lighter 6-stop (ND64) filter on set?
A: While a 6-stop filter is ideal for video frame normalization under standard daylight, a 10-stop ND1000 filter is built for extreme long-exposure transformations. It reduces light entering your sensor so aggressively that it turns a 1/50s exposure into roughly 20 seconds. This allows your crew to completely flatten crashing waves into an ethereal mist, blur fast-moving cloud decks into smooth streaks, and entirely erase moving crowds or traffic from commercial architectural backdrops.
-
Q: Why is this filter sized at 150x150mm instead of a standard 100x100mm format? Will it fit 100mm holders?
A: No, it will not fit standard 100mm holders. This oversized 150mm square format is explicitly engineered for professional ultra-wide angle lenses that feature large, bulbous front elements (such as specialized ultra-wide zooms) which suffer from severe corner clipping on smaller filter systems. The extra wide glass area ensures that even at the widest focal lengths, your lens has a completely clear, uncompromised light path free of mechanical corner vignetting.
-
Q: How is the rental fee calculated?
A: The rental fee is calculated on a 24-hour basis per rental period at Dream Scenes Studio Hong Kong.
-
Q: Is a deposit required?
A: Yes, a corresponding deposit is required for all equipment rentals in HK.
-
Q: What payment methods are accepted for the deposit?
A: We accept credit card authorization for the deposit, which is fast and convenient for local and international crews.
