NiSi Circular Black Mist is a redevelopment of NiSi’s popular cinema range “Allure Mist Black” as a circular filter. Perfect for stills or video, the Black Mist lowers contrast, and highlights within the frame are diffused, helping to balance the tonal range among highlights and shadows. The NiSi Black Mist creates that cinematic look and is commonly used to softens wrinkles, blemishes and creates a flattering image of a subject.
Suppress highlights and lift shadows
NiSi’s Black Mist suppresses highlights and lifts shadows for well-balanced contrast. Light is characterized by the depiction of light with a core in its softness.
Delicately capture flare
The most effective filter effect can be discovered when capturing light that diffuses softly when backlit. It creates a transparent light that looks like it was taken with a high-class old lens. The NiSi Black Mist makes searching for light fun.
Nano coating
NiSi’s Nano coating on each glass surface results in an improved beading effect when in contact with water for greater cleaning efficiency.
Brass Frame
Constructed with a high-quality brass frame for enhancing durability and jamming prevention.
This filter is constructed from optical glass and in grades of 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2 are available. This filter type’s effect becomes approximately twice as strong with each grade number increase.

We have a no-nonsense approach. If a product breaks due to a manufacturer defect, we will replace it without asking any questions. If we have any reason to believe that the product was put through unreasonably heavy usage, we will have to follow the manufacturer's standard warranty procedure.
The manufacturer offers a 10-year limited warranty on all products and we extend that warranty to our customers. Please read the below very carefully, so you understand your position when something breaks or doesn’t work ideally anymore.
It is critical to understand that this warranty only applies to factory faults and not to standard wear and tear. Tripods are subject to a lot of gray areas in this regard as tripods used outdoors, particularly in sand and sea water, are subjected to extreme wear and tear. We will e.g. replace the affected part of your tripod if a carbon tube snaps or cracks without much pressure applied to it or if the apex breaks. We will not replace your tripod or the affected part if e.g. a joint locks up due to sand or salt build up or if a hinge becomes corroded or stiff/floppy and unserviceable due to corrosion or salt build up.
In sum, if we see that you took good care of your tripod and something went wrong, we will go out of our way to fix or replace it for you. If we see that you dragged it through the mud (literally or metaphorically), then we are unlikely to fix/replace it for you. How you handle your tripod and take care of it, is all the difference between 3- or 20 years of service.
The best of tripods will not last longer than 2/3 years if used regularly in the sea, INCORRECTLY, and never serviced. Always make sure to extend the lowest leg section first, so you keep the joints out of the water/sand. Always rinse with freshwater after use in the sea, wipe down with a wet cloth, leave extended to dry and ENSURE YOU KEEP THE HEAD AND APEX DRY. If your tripod’s joints start feeling sandy/gritty, open them up, give them a proper clean and lubrication and fine-tune the tension on the joints.
If travelling on dirt roads, ensure that your tripod is in its carry-bag when not in use.
Your tripod will not take care of itself – it is up to you to do so. All our tripods ship with an info-sheet on taking care of your tripod. We also offer a full tripod disassembly and service for R1000, including shipping both ways.
Leofoto offers a range of high-quality tripod straps that clasps onto the upper leg section. The coupler features a built-in swivel and is easily released via a quick detach button.
Please note that these straps are specific to each tripod model.
Choosing the correct strap for your tripod can be done with the help of the guide below.

Through the months of lockdown in SA, a number of photographers discovered the joys of the garden safari. So it seems apt to look at a special lens that is now available for chasing insects around with.

Every landscape photographer needs a CPL in their kit. NISI has three in their range, and the purpose of this article is to help you understand the difference between them and ultimately choose the right one for you. By Matt Bouch

NiSi's close up lens kit is a fun, compact and affordable introduction to the world of macro photography. It greatly reduces the minimum focusing distance of telephoto lenses (70-300mm range) to offer a magnification that is close to 1:1 (depending on the lens used).
Chinese newcomers like NiSi, Leofoto and Laowa are breaking the "made in China" stereotype by swiftly racing to the front of their industries and driving innovation. We believe the photographic manufacturing industry offers a taste of what is to come to other segments and we are confidently backing it.
