The PolarPro 82mm Peter McKinnon Signature Edition II Variable ND 1.8 to 2.7 Filter is a premium optical solution designed to give filmmakers and photographers complete control over exposure in extremely bright conditions. Providing an exposure reduction of 6 to 9 stops, this heavy-duty VND allows you to shoot with wide apertures or slow shutter speeds under direct sunlight without overexposing your image. This makes it an invaluable tool for controlling depth of field or introducing motion blur into cinematic tracking shots.

Constructed with cinema-grade glass, the Signature Edition II ensures absolute color neutrality and edge-to-edge sharpness across your frame. The aluminum ring features side knurling for a secure grip and integrated haptic feedback, allowing operators to feel a tactile click as they rotate through stop values without taking their eye off the viewfinder. It is engineered with physical hard stops to prevent over-rotation and eliminate cross-polarization artifacts entirely. This high-end creative filtration tool is available through AWPRO, Dubai's premier authorized destination for genuine PolarPro gear.
