KONDOR BLUE and Formatt Hitech have teamed up to bring you the Kondor Blue Firecrest Alloy Cine IRND 4 x 5.65" Filter (ND1.2). With the introduction of the KONDOR BLUE Matte Box System, it was only natural that we’d turn our attention to the filters that complete the setup. When it comes to ND filters, accuracy, color neutrality, and build quality are everything—and Formatt Hitech has long set the bar for excellence in all three.
Staying true to the KONDOR BLUE ethos, we didn’t just want to slap our name on existing glass. Instead, we worked closely with Formatt Hitech to deliver their acclaimed ND technology in our ultra-slim 2mm metal filter frames. These screw-free aluminum housings eliminate distracting seams and potential gunk traps, while precision corner notches make filter handling cleaner and faster—especially on set.
These filters offer true neutral density performance with no color shift and excellent optical clarity, ensuring that your footage stays consistent no matter the lighting environment. Whether you’re cutting light to open up your aperture or maintaining proper exposure in harsh daylight, this ND lineup gives you cinematic control without compromise.
Powered by Firecrest ND technology—trusted by Academy Award-winning cinematographers and featured in countless Hollywood productions for over a decade—these filters bring professional-grade reliability to your rig.
The first wave of this collaboration launches with ND 0.6 (2 stops), ND 0.9 (3 stops), and ND 1.2 (4 stops)—perfect for a wide range of shooting scenarios.
