ND filters and Irix MMS Lens Hood. The Irix Edge magnetic filters have a unique threadless design, so you can be sure that everything staus clean ready for action! No more hesitation with dirty or dusty filter thread again.

Irix and gimbals work great together

All Irix has a similar weight, which makes swapping them on the gimbal much easier. Additionally, focus gears help with any wireless follow focus. The weight of around 1kg works as a perfect counterweight to most mirrorless cameras, making balancing a breeze. We have tested it personally on many gimbals from the most popular brands like Zhiyun or DJI and were very happy with how it all performed together. *Each camera has a different weight distribution and size, some balance easier, others don’t. Tests were done on the Sony A7 series and Canon R series.

Perfectly fits into the cine world

Your comfort matters. To ease the use as much as possible, we made sure our Irix Cine 45mm is compatible with most follow focus systems, matte boxes, stabilizers and accessories available on the market.
Furthermore, it comes with a detachable lens support foot – to provide stabilization and reduce the strain of the camera mount when in use with follow-focus gears.
Irix Cine is so universal it will become your favorite lens no matter the task!

Filming has never been easier!
