The Gobe Variable ND2-400 2Peak filter can be rotated from ND2 (1 f-stop) to ND400 (8.66 f-stops) giving you great versatility in changing light.
Top benefits
Enormous creative possibilities
Great low-light versatility. Eliminates overly bright & washed-out images. Enables slow shutter speeds to record movement in subjects and allows a wider aperture to achieve a decreased depth of field.
24-layer nano-coating
Premium nano-coating providing superb antireflection capabilities, scratch resistance and exceptional protection from water, dust, rain, and dirt.
Great for video and landscape photography
Whether you’re capturing video, landscapes, portraits or long exposures, our Variable2-400 offers great depth of field, motion blur and shutter speed options in variable light conditions.
Considerations
Lens caps
To use a lens cap or stack filters on top of your Variable ND, you’ll need to step up one filter size.
Wide-angle lenses
For wide-angle lenses, the Variable ND2-400 has limited application because of the broad field-of-view. The filter can only be rotated about halfway along the Min to Max range without encountering an x-pattern – you can thank physics for this restriction. We recommend using Fixed ND filters, or Variable ND2-32 or ND8-128 with wide-angle lenses.
Telephoto lenses
For telephoto lenses, we also recommend using a Variable ND2-32 3Peak or Variable ND8-128 3Peak to achieve the best results for your images.
Positive Impact
Plant 5 Trees
Buying a Gobe product funds local communities to plant 5 trees in areas affected by deforestation including Madagascar, Haiti, Nepal, Mozambique & Indonesia.
Employment
All trees are planted by a team of local workers, providing vital employment while rejuvenating the world's wilds.
For a cleaner, greener future
Trees sequester carbon from the atmosphere, provide food and shelter, reduce the effects of droughts and floods and prevent water pollution.

Filtr jest ok ale w górze skali ma tendencję do winiety oraz zielonawej tinty. Jestem pewny że nie przekraczałem maksimum regulacji. Sugeruje aby odpuścić sobie 2-3 stopnie skali przy makismum.

This product is almost perfect. If you stay within the triangles it works great, however if you go beyond the triangles it causes and X in the frame. Recommend a stopper in the system to cause this issue from happening. It does not slip and stays where you place it which is good

My wedding shoot wouldn’t have been as magical without this super affordable filter. I didn’t have that much hope when ordering this filter because I previously bought a B+W worth over $100 and it had nasty X crosses in broad daylight. This Gobe, surprised me with the quality and ease of use and every time I twist that ring, it would give me a big smile. Highly recommended!

I have tried a ton Of ND filters ex:tiffen/k&f etc you name it. Even their so called “multi coated” versions are terrible because they cause so much glare because of the weak or lack of anti reflective coating so they cause TERRIBLE hazing and flaring. I bought this and the Urth branded versions and they are so clear and have such great contrast even in the most challenging backlit shooting conditions. And the best part is the price. Honestly even better than the Peter McKenna multistop variable NDs

Several people have mentioned that these have bad image clarity in the reviews I have seen online. I wanted to clear this up and say that the video quality on my camera is almost exactly the same with or without the filter. However, the reason some people might be saying that these filters lessen image quality is because haze develops on the inside of the filter lenses. All you have to do is give them a good cleaning and they will perform as desired! Make sure to look at your filter in direct sunlight to see if any haze has developed and you can find YouTube videos that will show you how to clean the inside of your ND filter. I got these for 15 bucks each and I think that is an abolso lute steal for the quality of ND filter that these are. Color casting is not really an issue if you adjust white balance accordingly. Great concept, great brand, great product!

I've been wanting to try Gobe filters for quite some time because of their campaign to plant trees with a purchase.My first order came in and I was a little disappointed that there were spots in between the glass layers on the coating. I returned it and got a replacement that was perfect. So, perhaps it was a fluke.Overall, it's a great filter. I did knock down the score a little because, even though it comes in a nice box and tin, it seems to be a one-size-fits-all tin and the smaller filter rattles around inside. I'll probably invest in a filter wallet at some point, but for now, it's a minor concern that it's banging around in the tin inside my camera case.Image quality is fantastic and does exactly what I need.Just be sure you aren't trying to put one on a really wide angle lens...and this is due to optical science, not the construction of the filter. For reference, I tried it on a Rokinon 12mm f2.0 on my BMPCC 4K and it can only utilize about 1/2 the range before starting to get vignetting and the X pattern is extremely prominent at max setting.Otherwise, on other lenses I have, the X is only visible when you go beyond max. It would be nice to have a hard stop at maximum and minimum, but not a deal breaker.I have bought a second filter from Gobe and I plan on buying more when the time comes.

I was worried about buying a variable ND because so many have the problem with the x after it gets so dark. I don't notice it on this one at all. Great filter!

Très bon filtre qui permet de bien réduire la luminosité pour faire de longues expositions ou filmer à 50 ips. La bague est assez sensible : le filtre s'obscurcit doucement au début puis très rapidement vers la fin, il faut donc être précis.La boîte en métal et la lingette fournie garantiront le maintien en qualité du produit. Contrairement a ce qui est indiqué, on remarque quelques peu l'effet de double vignetage linéaire, mais cela se corrige sans peine en post-prod.Petit plus, en recevant le colis, vous trouverez un code permettant de faire planter 5 arbres à Madagascar, Indonésie ou Philippines.Bref, je recommande !

I bought this filter to use with my Tamron 18-400mm Lens for my Nikon D5600 DSLR camera and I am extremely satisfied with it. No distortion, or blurring when using the max zoom, and I get a crystal clear image!The description of the filter does caution about the use of this with Telephoto Lens, but when I tested the filter on my Tamron 18-400mm Lens at least in quick tests, it is working amazingly!I love the aluminum case it comes in, and the cleaning cloth is a good cloth that comes with it. Plus for every filter you buy 5 trees are planted. I am definitely getting more filters from Gobe.

Excellent rendu , en photo comme en vidéo !En photo : très intéressant pour évaluer vos valeurs ND préféré avant d'investir dans des filtre ND fixe de qualitéA noter une légère tendance a tirer sur le pourpre au valeur les plus extrême ainsi qu'un léger vignettage, parfaitement rattrapable en développement si vous shootez en RAW .Cotés vidéo, excellent ! Avec un APS-c ou micro 4/3, aucun vignettage et réglage précis.
