The NiSi Swift FS ND Kit is a game-changing solution for fixed density ND filters (not variable). This kit includes three full spectrum Neutral Density (ND) filters: ND8 (3 Stop), ND64 (6 Stop), and ND1000 (10 Stop), along with adaptors for multiple filter threads. The combination of the Swift system and FSND technology allows and encourages filters to be stacked, offering densities of 3,6,9,10,13,16 and 19 stops.
Swift - Stacking is quick and easy with NiSi's patented friction-based Swift system, while being lighter and more reliable than magnetic systems. Filters simply press on and pull off with a bit of force.
FSND Colour Technology - NiSi have now proven themselves beyond a doubt as the leader of circular ND filter technology - these kits are no different and features their latest full spectrum technologies. Expect perfect colour even at extreme densities - no cast, no vignetting.
Colour Coded Densities - Each density is a different colour, making it easy to know immediately which filter you're pulling out of the pouch or which density is where in the stack.
Cutting Edge Nano Coatings - These filters feature the latest hydrophobic coatings , which repel water and make filters easy to clean. They also feature a TI coating which makes them incredibly hard and resistant to micro scratches that write off a filter over time.
Each kit also includes several step rings, making it much more economic to filter your lenses.

- 82mm Kit - 77, 72, 67 rings included
- 62mm Kit - 58, 55, 52 rings included

FAQs
What is the NiSi Swift FS ND System and how does it work?
This kit includes three different Neutral Density (ND) filters: ND8 (3 Stop), ND64 (6 Stop), and ND1000 (10 Stop), offering unparalleled control over exposure and depth of field. Perfect for capturing silky water, cloud movement, and reducing glare in bright conditions. It's a circular filter kit that mounts fast with a press on design.
How does the friction mount of the NiSi Swift System differ from magnets typically used in filter mounting systems?
The friction mount of the NiSi Swift System is different from magnets used in filter mounting systems as it ensures that the filter is always connected and ready for anything. Magnets can easily become dislodged, especially when working in fast-paced or challenging environments. Using a friction mount, the NiSi Swift System avoids this potential pitfall, providing photographers with the confidence that their filters will stay securely in place no matter what.
In which situations is the NiSi Swift System particularly valuable for photographers?
The NiSi Swift System is particularly valuable for photographers and cinematographers who shoot in situations where time is of the essence or where they need to move quickly and efficiently from shot to shot.
What is the benefit of the NiSi FS ND filters?
Full spectrum filters, like the NiSi FS ND, offer a significant advantage as they maintain color fidelity across the entire visible spectrum, ensuring that your images are not only accurately exposed but also exhibit true-to-life colors without any color cast, making them superior for high-quality photography.
What types of photography can benefit from using the NiSi Swift System and how can it improve the creative process?
The NiSi Swift FS ND System can profoundly benefit various types of photography, enhancing the creative process in several ways:
- Long Exposure Photography: By significantly reducing the amount of light entering the lens, these ND filters allow photographers to use longer shutter speeds without overexposure. This capability is perfect for capturing smooth water movements in seascapes or cloud motion in landscapes, adding an ethereal quality to the images.
- Landscape Photography: The precise stops and true color transmittance of these filters ensure that landscapes are captured with natural colors and balanced exposures. This is especially beneficial for sunrise or sunset shots, where light conditions can be challenging.
- Cityscape and Architectural Photography: In busy urban settings, using the NiSi Swift FS ND filters can help blur moving elements like cars and people, creating a sense of tranquility and focus on static architectural features.
- Motion Blur Effects: For creative photography, these filters allow the blurring of movement, such as flowing water or swaying trees, adding a dynamic element to the compositions.
- Time-lapse Photography: Consistent exposure control is crucial in time-lapse photography. The NiSi filters provide consistent density and color accuracy across shots, making them ideal for creating smooth, high-quality time-lapse sequences.
By enhancing control over light and color, the NiSi Swift FS ND System not only expands the range of possible shooting conditions but also empowers photographers to explore creative effects that would otherwise be difficult to achieve.

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.
