Learn how to install and use the MOFAGE POCO II Drop-In Filter Adapter Kit with drop-in filters for exposure control and creative effects on cinema lenses.

Quick answer

The MOFAGE POCO II adapter kit lets you drop a filter inside the lens mount system, keeping your lens front free for matte boxes or hoods. Setup takes about two minutes once you choose your front and camera mounts.

Why use a drop-in filter instead of a screw-on

Screw-on filters change the front diameter of your lens, which can interfere with matte boxes, lens caps, or hoods. A drop-in filter sits inside the adapter, so the lens front stays clean for accessories. The trade-off is that you need the POCO II adapter installed first—it is not a standalone solution.

Choosing your filter type

The MOFAGE POCO Drop-In Filter listing offers Pro Duo ND, black mist, white mist, glimmer, orange streak, and circular polarizer options. Pick the filter that matches your scene: ND for exposure control, mist for softening, streak for anamorphic-style flares, or polarizer for glare reduction. You can swap filters quickly without removing the adapter.

How to set up the MOFAGE POCO II adapter and drop-in filter

  1. Mount the lens-side ring: Attach the correct front lens mount (PL or EF) to the adapter body. Twist until it clicks. Common mistake: forcing the ring when the alignment dots are not lined up—rotate gently until they match.
  2. Attach the camera-side mount: Select the camera mount that matches your camera body (Sony E, Canon RF, etc.) and lock it onto the rear of the adapter. Checkpoint: ensure the mount is fully seated before attaching the camera to avoid a loose connection. The adapter ships with interchangeable mounts; store unused ones in a labeled pouch.
  3. Insert the drop-in filter: Slide the chosen POCO drop-in filter (e.g., Pro Duo ND or black mist) into the side-loading slot on the adapter. Push until it clicks into place. Common mistake: inserting the filter upside down—the notch on the filter frame should face the slot opening.
  4. Mount the adapter to your camera: Align the camera-side mount with your camera body and rotate until locked. Attach your lens to the front mount. Check that the lens seats without resistance. Common mistake: forgetting to remove the body cap or rear lens cap before mounting. Test the filter by looking through the viewfinder—if the image looks hazy, the filter may be dirty or not fully seated.
