What is the diameter of the Variable ND that you own (Not the thread size, the actual casing). For example, I have the Tiffen @ 97mm actual diameter (I had to measure with a caliper, as the stat isn't listed anywhere I could find).

I see from other posts that you use the B&W. It is 86mm.

I think I have a solution for you, as I believe you have inadvertently solved mine.

I bought the newly released Smallrig MINI MatteBox. You can stack both screw on, 4x4, or 4x5.65 filters. My problem is that the Tiffen is too big. It has to be under 95mm to fit. It appears that the B&W fits. I used mine today with a smaller lens and smaller ND and it was legend! I purchased the MatteBox direct from Smallrig and it weirdly got here from China in about a week (not a month, lol). Not a spam or an ad. Bought mine for $79. Reg price $99. B&H has them too I think.
