When ten stops are no longer enough: the Haida ND4.5 is a very strong ND filter that darkens by around 32,000x (approx. 15 stops), enabling exposures of several minutes – in broad daylight. This V2 version is the latest, revised generation of the round drop-in filter for the M10-II holder system and now sits in an aluminium frame instead of the plastic frame of its predecessor.
- Very strong light reduction (ND4.5, approx. 15 stops)
- New aluminium frame instead of plastic – more robust and durable
- Round drop-in filter for the Haida M10-II holder system
- Tool-free to insert and swap
Long exposures in broad daylight
Where regular ND filters stop
Water turns mirror-smooth, drifting clouds blur into soft bands and everything in motion dissolves into calm, almost painterly surfaces – exposure times of minutes where otherwise only seconds would be possible.
New aluminium frame
The filter now sits in a precisely machined aluminium frame. That makes it more robust than the plastic predecessors, ensures a clean fit in the holder and is pleasant to grip and swap even in the cold.
How this works in practice
A real-world scenario
Midday at a waterfall: instead of waiting for the blue hour, you slide the ND4.5 into the M10-II holder and expose for several minutes – the roaring water becomes a silky veil and tourists in the frame all but vanish.
What you should know before you order
An M10-II holder is required
The drop-in filter is an insert for the M10-II holder system and is placed into the holder (with light seal) – holder and adapter ring are not included.
Strong ND: tripod and preparation needed
At this density you can barely see through the filter. Set your framing and focus beforehand without the filter, then slide the filter in; a tripod and remote release are mandatory. With such long exposures a slight colour cast can appear depending on the camera, which is easy to correct in post.

The manufacturer Haida specializes in the production of high quality filters for various uses in photography. Haida filters are all made of optical glass. Haida produces filter holders as well as screw filters. The filter holders for plug-in filters are available in the width of 100 mm and 150 mm in our assortment. There are also matching Haida adapter rings in different sizes. Of course, Haid also manufactures ND and GND filters in various dimensions. The Haida ND filters are mainly used in landscape photography. When it comes to coating, the Haida company uses the NanoPro MC designation for multi-coated surfaces, with the NanoPro series being the most current version. Haida systems are available for all sizes of lenses from different manufacturers. The kit Haida M10 II system for 100 mm should not be missing on any photographer's wish list. Haida filters can be used especially well for shooting with water. Haida products do not need to be afraid of comparison with other products such as those from Lee. The ND or gray filters are available in different strengths. So that not too much time is lost in post-processing, the filters from Haid are color-neutral. With the Haida M10 series, you can make perfect long exposures. The corresponding 100 mm graduated filters can be mounted high or low in the filter holder. For ultra-wide angles, Haida also has a corresponding solution in its range, namely the M15 system. With a width of 150 mm, these filters cover a wider angle of view compared to the 100 mm. If such an ultra-wide angle is on your wish list, please be sure to note the Haida M15, there are various adapters for the most diverse combinations. Haida also has rear lens filters, these mount in the lens bayonet and are available in various strengths. Simply put, you can find the right filter for every application in Haida's range. Whether these are then used in the city or in the countryside, it does not matter. The products are also accompanied by brochures or manuals in English that give an overview of the entire range.
