Formatt Hitech Black Supermist Overview
The Firecrest Cine Superslim Supermist Diffusion 1/8 Density Filter is designed for those times when you need a cinema camera setup with minimum weight, whether that's to fly on a drone, Steadicam, gimbal, or just to lighten the load on your back when you have to carry your own kit. It is the lightest possible 4 x 5.65" cinema grade glass filter, weighing in at around half of an equivalent standard thickness 4mm ND filter, while maintaining the same excellent neutrality and optical quality that Firecrest filters have become renowned for. This makes them the ideal solution to marry with ultra-lightweight matte boxes like the Bright Tangerine Misfit Atom. For ARRI standard matte boxes, a dedicated 2mm filter tray from Formatt is available. This will allow the filters to be used in most Bright Tangerine, Chroziel, Wooden Camera, and ARRI matte boxes. Black Supermist is a contrast reduction filter made from black color particulate slightly larger than most pixel sizes and bonded inside the filter. The light path is diffused creating a reduction in fine detail and contrast.
Cine Superslim filters are half the thickness and weight of a traditional 4mm cinema filter. This allows you to use the same Firecrest IRND filter technology, used on countless major feature films and commercials, for more than half the cost of the traditional 4mm Cine Firecrest Ultra filters.
Use alone to protect your lens or stack with other Superslim filters in a standard 4mm tray. This Schott B270 super-white optical glass is capable of matching the highest resolution cameras on the market today and can provide invaluable protection when using jibs, cranes, gimbals, or any scene where the lens may require extra protection from the elements.
2mm thin budget friendly glass for reduced weight and cost is a good fit for travel, gimbal, or drone.
Less material equals less cost. Same Firecrest performance trusted by thousands of productions for less.
Cine Superslim are 50% lighter than traditional 4mm thick cinema filters.
These 2mm thin filters are compatible with ARRI standard tray matte boxes from multiple brands using the Firecrest 2mm 4 x 5.65" tray.
Cine Superslim filters feature the highest quality Schott glass for superior resolution.
Switch from matte box set ups for your larger glass to lightweight photography-based set-ups with ease. The Firecrest 100mm MKII holder allows you to adapt 4 x 5.65" Cine Superslim filters to threaded photography and cinema lenses from 86mm to 37mm screw-in sizes. The MKII holder includes a geared rotating 86mm circular polarizer for ultimate flexibility when using smaller lenses.
The Firecrest Superslim 2mm 4 x 5.65" tray allows you to adapt the Superslim filters to any ARRI standard width 4 x 5.65" matte box tray. The Superslim tray allows you to use the Superslim filters with common matte box brands like Bright Tangerine, ARRI, Chrosziel, and others.
