If you're new to JetMag Pro, the VND Base Kit is a great start. This kit includes the legendary x1-5 True Colour Variable ND with a few essential accessories to get you started – the 77mm and 82mm Adapter rings, machined aluminium front cap and pouch. Altough the JetMag Pro system presents a bigger upfront investment with the accessories, you'll find that most of the individual filters come with a smaller pricetag than their standard (screw-in) counterparts.

- 82mm JetMag Pro True Colour PRO Nano Variable ND x1-5 Stops Magnetic Filter
- 77-82MAG Adapter Ring
- 82-82MAG Adapter Ring
- Machined Aluminium Front Cap

More about the JetMag x1–5 Stop JetMag Pro VND
NiSi’s most anticipated filter has arrived. Their legendary 1-5 Stop True Colour Variable ND is now available for JetMag Pro. Like sunglasses for your lens, the VND darkens the image by 1-5 stops. An indispensable tool in any videographers toolkit, NiSi's True Colour VND is widely regarded as the best VND in the world.
The Core of the JetMag System: 1–5 Stop JetMag Pro VND (82MAG)
The heart of every kit is the NiSi JetMag Pro 1–5 Stop Variable ND. With a density range from ND2 to ND32, it gives you control over 1–5 stops of light—ideal for controlling shutter speed, maintaining wide apertures, or dialing in exposure during video shoots.
Key features include
- True Color technology: No tints. No shifts. Just natural, consistent color across the ND range.
- Built-in hard stops at 1 and 5 stops, ensuring smooth, repeatable operation and preventing over-rotation.
- No X-patterns or cross-polarization, which means zero compromise on image quality—even at extreme settings.
- Dual-sided stop markings, so you can see your ND level whether handheld or on a rig.
- Detachable control lever and polarization adjustment: Once you’ve set your ND strength, rotate the entire filter to cut glare and enhance contrast, just like a built-in CPL.
- Magnetic mount with locking system: Fast, tool-free attachment with a rock-solid lock that keeps your filter secure, even in tough conditions.
Available now in 82MAG, it’s fully compatible with JetMag Pro’s magnetic adapter rings. And for those using larger lenses—95MAG is coming soon.

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.
