The  ARRI Rota Pola Frame  helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface.

ARRI Rota Pola Frame


The light from the sun naturally becomes partially polarized due to reflecting off electrons in air molecules, causing the light to scatter into what appears as haze. A polarizing filter arranges, and filters, this directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light, allowing for the absorption of much of this light. This results in a noticeable reduction of glare and reflections from non-metallic surfaces and an increase in the saturation of skies and foliage.

  • Key Features

    • Helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface.
    • Clears up haze in distant landscapes and provides more saturated, vivid colors.
    • Strongest effect when used at a 90° angle from the sun.
    • 2.3x filter factor reduces exposure by +1.2 stops.
    • Constructed from Water White glass for clarity and mounted within an aluminum-alloy filter tray.
    • External dial on filter tray allows for the rotation of the polarizer filter to adjust the intensity of the polarization effect.
