Tiffen 86mm Coarse Thread Streak 2mm Auto-Rotating Filter | 86CSRSTRK2
A streak filter that actually does the work for you. Tiffen brings together a coarse thread mount, a 2mm streak effect, and motorized auto-rotation in a single 86mm filter for video and stills shooters who want consistent cinematic light streaks without touching the ring.
- The auto-rotating mechanism keeps the streak angle moving at a steady pace, so you get smooth, repeating flares across your frame ? perfect for music videos, car commercials, or any scene needing a dynamic light effect without manual adjustment.
- Its coarse thread design fits certain lenses with non-standard or damaged 86mm threads more securely than a fine-pitch filter, reducing the risk of cross-threading during fast lens swaps on set.
- A 2mm streak width offers a pronounced linear flare that works well with point light sources like streetlamps or headlights, creating a clean wide stretch rather than a subtle shimmer ? and it plays nicely with both anamorphic and spherical glass.
- Because it’s powered by the filter ring itself, you don’t need batteries or cables: just screw it onto your 86mm lens, press the start button, and the rotating element runs on its own.
Whether you’re shooting on a gimbal or a locked-off tripod, this Tiffen filter delivers repeatable streak results that would otherwise require constant finger pressure on the ring. It’s a practical tool for any cinematographer looking to cut one more manual task from the shot list.
