Revar Cine
Revar Cine 4x5.65 Linear Polarizer Filter
Description +
The Revar Cine Rota-Tray and professional polarizers provide precise, repeatable control over reflections, glare, color saturation, and contrast directly in camera. Designed for professional matte boxes, the system combines high-quality optical glass with a durable geared tray that allows the polarizer to be rotated smoothly while remaining securely mounted.
Often called a “Rota Pola,” the Rota-Tray holds a large, unmounted circular polarizer inside a standard rectangular filter tray. Its 138mm glass diameter provides broad image coverage for compatibility with many wide-angle lenses. Dual control wheels allow the filter to be adjusted quickly from either side of the camera, while integrated 0.8 MOD gears permit connection to a focus motor for remote rotation on cranes, jibs, gimbals, car rigs, and other configurations where the camera is difficult to reach.
Revar Cine circular polarizers reduce reflections from glass, water, painted surfaces, and other nonmetallic materials. They can also deepen blue skies, improve color saturation, and increase apparent contrast without relying on post-production correction. The high-efficiency polarizing material and optical coatings are engineered for professional image quality, neutral color rendition, and dependable performance.
The Rota-Tray is designed and manufactured in the USA using an anodized, aircraft-grade aluminum frame and durable polymer components. Versions are available for standard 4 × 5.65-inch and 6.6 × 6.6-inch matte-box systems.
Available Options:
- 4 × 5.65-inch Rota-Tray with 138mm circular polarizer
- 6.6 × 6.6-inch Rota-Tray with 162mm circular polarizer
- 4 × 5.65-inch multicoated linear polarizer
- 138mm circular polarizer without tray
- 4 × 5.65-inch Rota-Tray without glass
The Rota-Tray accepts compatible Revar Cine and Schneider unmounted circular polarizers. It is not compatible with Tiffen unmounted polarizers because the glass diameter differs.
Select the required polarizer and tray configuration from the product menu before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can use a Schneider Unmounted True-Pol. The Rota Tray is not compatible with Tiffen unmounted filters due to the different diameter of the glass.
We also offer the Rota Tray in 6.6x6.6 size. For matte boxes with no filter tray, check out our 138mm Pola+ Circular Polarizer.
Tilta uses a non-standard tray width in the T04 matte box. Their T12 matte box does follow standards so it is compatible.
