Nisi JetMag Pro Cross Screen 4x (49MAG)

The NiSi JetMag Pro Cross Screen 4x (49MAG) transforms bright point lights into crisp four-pointed star effects. For night photography, cityscapes, architecture, video, and content creators, this effect filter is a creative tool for striking lighting accents.

Four-point star effect for night, city, and architecture

The Cross Screen filter creates a controlled four-pointed star effect from bright point light sources. Precisely etched lines in the filter glass refract the light so that streetlights, neon signs, candles, string lights, stage lighting, or illuminated building details appear much more textured. This allows you to enhance night shots, urban scenes, and festive settings directly in-camera without relying on extreme aperture settings or post-processing effects. The NiSi JetMag Pro Cross Screen 4x (49MAG) is particularly well-suited for photographers and videographers who deliberately use light sources as part of their composition. In cityscapes, the effect can highlight the skyline and street lighting, while in interiors or stage scenes, it creates a clearly recognizable visual signature.

Cross Screen 4x with adjustable angle for creative control

The effect can be adjusted to suit the specific composition by rotating the filter. This allows the four light rays to be aligned vertically, diagonally, or to match the lines in the subject. This is useful when starburst effects shouldn’t appear random but must intentionally complement architecture, string lights, windows, or stage sets. Additionally, the selected aperture affects the intensity of the effect: with a smaller aperture, the stars appear more pronounced; with a wider aperture, they appear softer and more subtle. For video, YouTube, music videos, and social media content, this results in an effect filter that adapts flexibly to the scene. Content creators can selectively highlight bright light sources and visually enhance subjects with minimal effort, without making the overall look appear artificial.

JetMag Pro 49MAG System for Quick Effect Changes

The magnetic JetMag Pro 49MAG system allows for quick attachment and removal of the filter when used with a compatible adapter ring. This makes it possible to compare on set whether a scene works better with or without the star effect. Especially in changing lighting conditions, short shooting windows, or mobile productions, the magnetic filter saves time because it eliminates the need for traditional screw-in installation. The patented locking mechanism holds the filter securely in place, even during handheld shots, long exposures, or when stacked with other JetMag Pro filters. The NiSi JetMag Pro Cross Screen 4x (49MAG) can also be combined with compatible JetMag Pro caps and integrated into existing 49MAG workflows. For hybrid photo and video users, this creates a repeatable system for quick creative decisions.

Slim Aluminum Frame and Durable Nano-Coating

The ultra-slim aluminum frame is designed to minimize mechanical vignetting as much as possible, even when the filter is used with wide-angle lenses or compact setups. At the same time, the sturdy construction ensures reliable performance during night shoots, travel, events, and outdoor productions. The multi-layer nano-coating repels water, dust, and oil and helps reduce internal reflections. This makes it easier to keep the glass surfaces clean, and the effect filter is more controllable even when light sources are close to the edge of the frame. It is compatible with JetMag Pro 49MAG adapter rings in 39 mm, 40.5 mm, 43 mm, 46 mm, and 49 mm. For photographers, videographers, and content creators, the Cross Screen 4x filter is a compact solution for intentionally incorporating point lights into the visual composition.
