Quick answer

The NiSi JetMag Pro Cinema Kit 82MAG is a comprehensive magnetic filter set for serious videographers and photographers who want quick ND, CPL, and diffusion options without unscrewing filters. It's a strong choice if you shoot with 82mm lenses and value speed and image quality over budget savings.

What makes this kit different from standard filter sets

The NiSi JetMag Pro Cinema Kit uses a magnetic attachment system instead of traditional screw-on rings. This means you can swap between ND, CPL, and Black Mist filters in seconds without removing the base ring from your lens. For video work or fast-paced shoots, that speed can be a real advantage.

The kit includes FS ND filters at 2, 3, 4, and 6 stops, a True Color CPL, and a Black Mist 1/8 filter. That's six filters in one kit, giving you a solid range for controlling exposure, managing reflections, and adding a soft cinematic look.

Trade-off: convenience vs. cost

Magnetic filter kits are typically more expensive than individual screw-on filters. The NiSi JetMag Pro Cinema Kit is priced at USD 471.75, which is a significant investment. If you only occasionally use ND filters or mainly shoot stills in controlled conditions, a standard screw-on set might be more economical.

However, if you frequently switch filters during a shoot, the time saved and reduced risk of cross-threading or dropping filters can justify the higher price. The magnetic system also allows you to stack multiple filters easily, which is harder with screw-on types.

Decision rules for the NiSi JetMag Pro Cinema Kit

  • Check your lens thread size: This kit is designed for 82mm filter threads. If your lens uses a different size, you'll need a step-up ring (which may affect the magnetic hold and stacking ability). Measure your lens filter thread size before buying.
  • Assess how often you change filters: If you frequently switch between ND, CPL, and Black Mist during a shoot, the magnetic system saves time and reduces fumbling. If you set one filter and leave it, the convenience is less valuable. Count how many filter swaps you do in a typical session.
  • Consider your need for diffusion: The included Black Mist 1/8 is a subtle diffusion filter. If you want a stronger softening effect or none at all, you might need to buy additional Black Mist strengths separately. Decide if the included diffusion level matches your creative style.
  • Evaluate your budget for filters: At USD 471.75, this kit is a premium purchase. If you're starting out or on a tight budget, a basic set of screw-on filters may cover your needs for less money. Compare the kit price against buying individual filters for your most-used stops.
