Freewell Brandon Li ND/CPL Variable Filter Set 77mm

Freewell Brandon Li 77mm Variable Density ND/CPL Filter Set

The Freewell Brandon Li Basic Kit 77mm is a magnetic filter system designed for photography and videography under varying lighting conditions. The core module combines an adjustable VND filter with 1–5 stops and an independently controlled CPL polarizing filter, while the included ND32 filter extends light reduction to 6–10 stops, providing a total range of 1 to 10 stops. The kit also includes a 77mm base ring, front and rear caps, a filter case, a clip, and a cleaning cloth.

Independent VND and CPL Adjustment

The dual-ring design allows exposure and polarization to be adjusted separately, so adjusting one function does not require changing the other. The black ring adjusts VND density across a 1–5 stop range, while the green ring controls CPL and helps reduce reflections from surfaces such as water, glass, and other non-metallic surfaces. This design makes it easier to maintain your chosen aperture and shutter speed while improving colour accuracy and scene contrast.

From 1 to 10 Stops with the Included ND32

The VND/CPL module alone provides 1–5 stops of adjustment, while attaching the ND32 filter extends the working range to 6–10 stops. The ND32 can be mounted directly onto the base ring and used as a standalone filter with fixed light reduction, which increases the flexibility of the entire system. This allows one kit to be used both in moderate light and when shooting under intense sunlight, without needing to carry several separate ND filters.

Magnetic Mount with Mechanical Lock

Freewell has implemented a system in which magnets make it quick to attach the filter to the base ring, and a short twist mechanically locks it in place. In practice, all you need to do is align the markings, let the magnets position the filter correctly, and then rotate the module to secure it while shooting on the move. This solution is well suited to run-and-gun shooting, as it allows quick configuration changes without having to screw and unscrew the entire filter each time.

Slim Design and True Colour Technology

The 18-layer optical coatings and True Color / Anti-Color Shift Layer technology are designed to minimise reflections and unwanted colour shifts, keeping the image as naturally coloured as possible. The front magnetic cap also features a built-in grey card that can be used for quick white balance checks.
