Intra Polar Cross Polarisation Kit for Godox MF12 Intra.Polar

NOTE if you do not already have the Flash Adapter (that come with the Intra Diffuser) for this particular flash, you will also need the INTRA DIFFUSER SPARE PARTS FOR GODOX MF12 to be able to attach the Intra Polar Cross Polarisation Kit for Godox MF12 to the actual Godox MF12 flashes.

The Intra Polar cross polarisation kit for Godox MF12 is a specialized tool that revolutionizes macro photography on reflective or shiny subjects. This kit employs the principle of cross polarization – placing linear polarizers on both the flash heads and the lens – to selectively block specular reflections while allowing diffused light to pass through. The result is cleaner, more revealing images that show subsurface details and true colors often hidden by glare.

Common in scientific, product, and insect macro photography, cross polarization is a pro technique made simple and portable with this kit for the popular Godox MF12 ring flash system. In 2026, it's still one of the most effective ways to achieve professional-grade macro results without complex studio setups.

Key Features & How Cross Polarization Works

The kit includes magnetic polarizer plates for MF12 flash heads (works with 1-6 heads) and a rotating polarizer ring that attaches to the lens front (with step-up adapters for common filter threads).

Setup is straightforward: Attach polarizers to flashes, mount the lens polarizer, and rotate until reflections disappear in the viewfinder/LCD. Light from the flash becomes polarized, reflects off the subject (maintaining polarization on specular surfaces), and is blocked by the crossed lens polarizer – leaving only diffused, non-reflective light.

Light loss: 2-3 stops, easily compensated by flash power or ISO. No vignetting or color casts.

Who Is the Intra Polar Kit Perfect For?

This kit is indispensable for macro photographers facing reflective challenges:

• Medical & Dental Macro: Clear views of glossy surfaces.
• Insect & Arachnid Macro: Removes glare from eyes, wings, and exoskeletons for natural detail.
• Jewelry & Product Photography: Clean highlights on metal, gems, and glass.
• Botanical Close-Ups: Reveals textures on waxy leaves or water droplets.
• Scientific & Forensic Imaging: Accurate reproduction without distracting reflections.

It's not necessary for matte subjects or ambient-light shooting.
