Nisi ND64 150x150mm
$50.00 /day
The definitive optical master tool for smooth daytime long exposures and large-format cinematic filmmaking, the NiSi 150x150mm Nano IR Solid ND64 (1.8) 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 premium 6-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 ND64 (1.8) 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 precise 6-stop light reduction, this 150mm solid neutral density glass plate allows production teams to aggressively lower shutter speeds or open up fast apertures under bright daylight, completely bypassing exposure clipping with zero color casting or peripheral resolution loss.
When executing an equipment hire for fast-paced commercial advertising campaigns, long-exposure coastal seascapes in Sai Kung, or architecture tracking loops with ultra-wide lenses across Central, handling standard filters can introduce heavy color casting problems due to infrared light leaks. The NiSi Nano IR series solves this critical 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 bulbous ultra-wide lenses.
Applicable Scenarios:
-
Cinematic Daytime Filmmaking: Enables operators to maintain a strict 180-degree cinematic shutter speed (e.g., 1/50s) while shooting wide open with high-end cinema optics under intense, direct midday sun.
-
Premium Landscape Long Exposures: Blurs moving clouds and smooths out choppy water surfaces into a 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 6-Stop Solid Light Reduction: Lowers light transmission uniformly down to a 1.56% baseline (ND64 / 1.8), extending exposure parameters perfectly without altering original image contrast.
-
Integrated Infrared (IR) Protection Coating: Blocks unwanted infrared light wavelengths completely to eliminate the warm or magenta color casts common in long exposures.
-
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 6-stop ND64 filter over a lighter 3-stop (ND8) or a heavier 10-stop (ND1000) filter?
A: An ND64 filter is universally celebrated as the ultimate golden balance filter for bright daytime video and smooth landscape tracking. A 3-stop filter is often too weak under direct sunlight, while a 10-stop filter turns the viewfinder completely dark, requiring complex calculations and breaking autofocus tracking. The 6-stop balance allows your crew to easily lock in a cinematic 1/50s shutter speed wide open under bright ambient light, while still allowing the camera’s autofocus systems and monitors to track moving subjects perfectly without getting blocked out.
-
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.
