The NiSi Black Pro Mist Diffusion Filter is perfect for stills or video. It lowers contrast, diffuses highlights and helps to balance the tonal range among highlights and shadows. The NiSi Black Mist creates that cinematic look and is commonly used to soften wrinkles and blemishes and create a flattering image of a subject.
- The Cinematic Atmosphere Filter – When used correctly, black mist filters combine a variety of effects to create a dreamy cinematic atmosphere. Especially in golden backlight and night scenes with creative lighting.
- Highlight Blooming – A Black Mist filter suppresses highlights and turns harsh bright areas into a soft diffused glow.
- Shadow Softening – Mist filters soften harsh shadows, giving a smoky/misty look to dark areas.
- Diffused Glow of Artificial Light – Mist filters come to life when used with artificial lighting. This could be neon street lights, LED strings or creative studio lighting. Mist filters create a cloud of glow around lights that play a core role in what we know as cinematic atmosphere.
Individual Filters - The Ultimate Jetmag Pro Setup
You can purchase individual Jetmag components to upgrade your kit to the optimal setup. In order to never screw or unscrew a filter or adapter ring again, you need -
- A Jetmag adapter ring on each lens - your kit should cover most of your needs with the included rings, but if e.g. you have more than one 82mm or 77mm lens, then you'll need another ring of that size.
- A protective Jetmag NC UV filter for each lens to protect it when not using a creative filter.
- A Jetmag front cap for each lens. All kits include two front caps, so most people will only need 1 or 2 extra.
This will allow you to leave the adapter ring, UV filter and front cap on each lens permanently. When you want to use a creative filter, you just put the UV and front cap in the filter stack and when you're done, you put it back.
If you need help configuring a setup like this, please reach out to us with a list of your lenses and we'll help you figure out what you need.
The first batch of incoming JetMag Kits have SOLD OUT. We expect the next batch will arrive late Nov – early Dec. Ensure you're first in line to get your hands on a JetMag Pro kit when new stock is available by placing a pre-order now. Individual components will only start shipping late Nov – early Dec.
Introducing JetMag Pro - NiSi's Best Filter System Ever
This new magnetic system from NiSi is designed to make the use of filters easier and faster than ever, empowering you to focus on what matters; light and storytelling. Jetmag offers NiSi's tried and trusted optical performance in a new format that we guarantee you'll love, with a massive range of their most popular filters.
Main Features
- Fast & Reliable Patented Locking Mechanism: JetMag has a unique bayonet style locking mechanism that gives you peace of mind that filters can't fall off. Simply mount the filter and rotate it to the locked position. The filters are locked when the side handles/tabs are lined up, making it easy to see from any angle or even to feel in the dark.
- Ultra-Thin = No Vignetting: Jetmag filters are insanely thin; Just 3mm per filter. Say goodbye to vignetting issues on wide angles. Not only are they super thin, but the filters are also oversized - the 82mm filters are actually 92mm wide, which also gives much-needed clearance on wide angle lenses. You can stack up to 3 Jetmag filters at 16mm without any vignetting. Browse the product images to see the vignetting samples for the most popular wide angle lenses.
- Easy Identification and Handling: Each type of filter (e.g. ND, Mist, CPL) has a colour-coded handle, making it quick and easy to identify.
- Full Spectrum ND Technology: The Jetmag ND filters feature the latest FSND tech, which ensures perfect filtering of UV and IR light for the most accurate colour possible.
- Size Versatility: Jetmag will be available in 3 sizes, with magnetic adapter rings to step to the sizes in between. This means you only need one size to cover all your lenses, making it economic to filter multiple lenses. The three sizes are 95mm, 82mm and 58mm
- Standard Kits and Individual Components: At launch, NiSi is offering 6x different kits aimed at a variety of photography and filmmaking needs. There is also a massive range of individual components, allowing you to build your own kit to suit your specific needs.
Coming soon
- Variable ND: As you will see, there is no variable ND, for now, but NiSi have promised that it is in the pipeline. They want to make it as thin as possible and their engineers are still refining the design.
- Square Filter Holder: We can't reveal too much at this stage, but there are magnetic trays for NiSi's 100x100mm and 100x150mm filters in the pipeline, which will allow the use of graduated filters with JetMag.

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.
Leofoto
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.
