[@aerofart]

ND filters are essential for fixed-aperture cameras like the GoPro. Because the aperture is fixed, these camera have only two other ways of controlling how much light reaches the sensor. The first way is by varying the shutter speed, but the method to achieve a "cinematic" look is to manually control the shutter speed (to maintain 180-degree rule), so that leaves varying the shutter speed (to adjust exposure) as no longer being an option. The only remaining option to control exposure is to vary the ISO. But ideally, you want ISO to be fixed (at MINIMUM) and, if ISO is already at minimum, the image will be overexposed under very bright conditions. That's where the ND filter comes into play. Think of it (and use it) as you would a lens aperture setting. The best ND filter to use in any given situation is one that will allow you to keep the ISO to a minimum and this ND value could vary greatly - therefore . . . the best ND filter kit to buy would be one with the MOST values of ND so that you can choose from a wide range (in small steps) of ND to use and keep the ISO to a minimum. If you don't have many steps of ND to choose from, you will be forced to use a stronger ND than you would need otherwise (to limit light) and then, in order to get a proper exposure, you will have to boost the ISO (which leads to noise in your footage.) Buy wisely. Just saying . . .

[@samyulsyed6741]

Honestly I feel like non ND looks way better.

[@khaleel_as]

me too.. it aint cinematic to me either.

[@Cinebon]

There were some shots where the ND filter looked better, but for most of the shots the original lens looked much better. If I bought one, I would not leave it on for the whole day, I’d only use it for special scenarios.

[@tracyrussell8499]

Who wants blurry video....at least your review saved me some money. No ND filter for me.

[@mischaa9960]

you missed the point of a ND filter. It's not about the colors. It's about the motion blur

[@samyulsyed6741]

Mischa A nobody is talking about the color

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

Probs the best video I've seen that explains them in the most simple and understanding manner, along with the shutter speed as well....thank you!!!

[@richthedroneguy8943]

I too was liking a lot of the non-ND shots much better, they seemed a lot clearer with better color. I still appreciate the explanation of shutter speed vs framerate and how the filters work.

[@thomasdekoster4974]

Its nog only depending on how much sun there is, but also the suroundings you are filming, for instance in snow or a dessert (where you have a lot of reflections of the ground) on a sunny day you would for sure pick a high nd filter.

[@JevenDovey]

If its less light out because of clouds or later in the day you might not need an ND Filter but most times I use one still to get my shutter speed to 1/60th

[@TrabelsiMarwen]

i wish one day youtubers stop telling bullshit and just go to the point of the topic

[@hendrikstanzel3473]

Ikr it's so frickin annoying!

[@lourdancarrullo4527]

Exactly.

[@ssam7384]

Exactly

[@antibulletdodger101]

Agreed. Stupid and ugly intros that noone except the creator cares about...

[@obbekjaer]

I bought an aluminium housing for my Gopro on Ebay. It takes standard 52mm camera filters meaning I can use the ND filter I already have, or if I didn't already have one I could buy a cheap off the shelf one. Also I can mount polarizing filters etc. Yes, it's a bit more bulky and weighs more, but it offers more flexibility.

[@Perinomaly]

I'll be picking up these filters soon. Thanks for the video and explanation on how shutterspeed and fps values affect footage. I've been looking to take the next step beyond glorified tourist videos and this is it.

[@JevenDovey]

Yes this will help for sure. Watch my newest video on how to create cinematic sequences to really get beyond a glorified tourist video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmTCY5WtjtijnZI

[@rapaent]

Thanks for the great review! Is there a way to view changes of EV while mounting ND's? Thanks again. 👍😊

[@reinoutwijnholds3347]

Hey Jeven, thanks alot for the explanation, good and clear. Found out that as you build up more knowledge about videography, that you find out that ND’s are very essential for the overall cinematic look.

[@JevenDovey]

Yup I use ND's everytime I shoot

[@reinoutwijnholds3347]

Jeven Dovey same here for the last weeks 🤙🏼

[@JonPeroutka]

ND filters also create a shallower depth of field. Ie, blurring the area behind the object/character of focus.

[@JevenDovey]

ND filters don’t create a shallow DOF but they allow you to open your aperture on your camera which gives you more shallow DOF

[@tonynikon]

I actually used Singh Ray Galen Rowell ND while using Fujichrome Velvia Slide film with my wide angle. Since is darker on top and translucid at the bottom in a light shift between two areas. For my GoPro I only use a Nikon 52mm Circular Polarizer on a adapter. I don't get vignetting plus it saturates the colors. Hope this helps.

[@JevenDovey]

Cool!

[@danielbaldry]

Hey Jeven. Loved the video and loving the word intention concept. My wife and I have been doing this for a number if years and it has been the best thing for us. Keep it up Jeven. Always fantastic content on your channel. Expand!!!

[@BlackapinoTheTechGuy]

I think using the ND Filter in Sunny situations IS a Plus...as I can see it in your video's. Thanks for the comparison..and explaining what an ND Filter does.

[@JevenDovey]

😊😊

[@Justinz6]

$100 for such a minor difference. Better off spending $100 on a gimbal or something that's more noticeable.

[@SamFilms]

again a gimbal without an nd filter won't make your video look mor cinematic, it will only look like a stabilized tourist shot

[@Mikearoniandcheese]

@@SamFilms I don't think you really understood his comment.

[@garystackhouse5787]

Telesin ND filter set... about $20 USD on Amazon.

[@HarvyDangerFilms]

I use ND's on my GH5, my Mavic Pro and I really need to start using them on my GoPro! Great video!

[@rb1084]

So funny to see that so much people in the comments thought/think that this has something to do with colour... The principal is about MOTION BLUR!!! Do you use the ND filters with a gimebal? Because the stabilisation doesn’t work that well with a filter on, thanks! Gr, Robin

[@fjellfiskeren7354]

Nd filters are very usefull and i am using them alot when shooting with my Dslr canon camera The haze in the flat light looks terrible so Nd filters rocks Polar filters even better

[@appalachiandiy2415]

Good video. I see that people are giving you the thumbs down because they think it's not very cinematic. You are covering only one aspect of the "cinematic look" which is shutter speed. Maybe do another video shooting the same way but "flat" then color grade. The people who say they prefer the non ND Footage will be blown away with the look you get when you color grade, bumping up the contrast and making that flat profile come to life. Use your word for the year and expand on this video to encompass the entire "Cinematic look" ....good video!

[@Micko1987]

in certain scenes the nd filter is brilliant, especially in darker areas but otherwise it looks way better without filter

[@JevenDovey]

All that matters is the Motion Blur. Thats what an ND filter changes

[@KevinTalbotTV]

standard looks better in my opinion

[@abhilashpatel3036]

Same here

[@chrisgg]

same here

[@Lando6969]

Im in the east coast and the snow its coming down...i need to go back to puerto rico. great video as always.

[@B-Moye]

I think the real difference people are seeing is the crazy sharpness of the non-filter version. At least that's what I'm picking up. That 'GoPro crisp' if you will. But with a nice grade on the GoPro footage, I'm assuming that filming with the (slightly) flatter profile picture on it, it will help it appear a little more cinematic? Just speculating

[@JevenDovey]

Yes shooting flat and color grading will always help make your footage look more cinematic. And yes filters will change the look no matter what because you’re putting something new in front of the lens.

[@Notion8]

thats not the point. look at the motion blur. that changes to a more cinematic look

[@eliteextremophile8895]

Stabilizing the footage would do the trick here. Detail is lost on shaky footage.

[@gilpineda]

WOW THE ND FILTER LOOKS GOOOODDDD

[@SmallsLife]

The past couple of days I’ve been researching a lot of GoPro tips tricks and Ideas and your channel keeps popping up so I subed! Thanks for all the great information man!

[@reinoutwijnholds3347]

For the ones thinking it’s no difference, with faster footage the difference is insane. Search on youtube: FPV vs DJI revolution”, it’ll be the first vid to pop up. Go to 1:42min and you’ll see what I mean. Huge difference in overall look with the motion blurr.

[@JevenDovey]

ND's make a huge difference with Motion Blur

[@reinoutwijnholds3347]

Jeven Dovey yess 🙏🏼

[@driftingintoretirement]

Great tips , I am learning so much.

[@AdventureTomek]

Thanks for the Vid... currently working on improving the quality of my videos 😎🤙🏻 will the ND filter still work well if use Auto shutter on my GoPro hero 7 black?

[@musaire]

The smoothness and naturalness of using 180-degree rules in not related to being accustomed to seeing films. It's the way human brain works - the best for us is to calculate half of the movement, the first half needs to be recorded in a frame (otherwise the brain doesn't know the direction and a new position comes as a startling surprise) - when object moves in a frame, the best for it is to see the objects path halfway to the next frame. If we use more than 24fps per sec with the correct 180-degree shutter and not slowing to 24fps, the result can be similar to too short exposure because, normally, our brain can't register that many pictures in a sec and when we still catch some pics of it, those contain too little movement for until we catch the next pic.

[@10MinutestoRouletteFortune]

The whole idea is not really if it looks better or not but the key is to maintain the correct shutter speed in bright light.

[@JevenDovey]

Yup

[@burkhardmetzger9320]

Thank you very much for all your stuff. Very well explained. Although my english is not very good I can follow you very well. Thank you again.

[@riveramely]

Looking forward for those New Zealand vlogs. My word for 2018 is confidence. Thanks for the info!

[@firefly8467]

HI. Ive got a couple of questions: 1) If I understood this correctly, if I usually film in 60fps, I would use ProTune (GoPro Hero black 5) to manually set the Shutter to 1/120, then put an ND32 filter on the camera ? 2) how to pick ISO settings ? the protune settings are set by default @ 1600 on mine. but if I set Protune to 1/120, I have to adjust ISO ?

[@harVentures]

I wouldn’t just throw the 32 on. I would experiment with it and see what it looks like. Also you want to keep your ISO as low as possible so you don’t introduce tons of grain.

[@NephtaliValdez]

You can't compare shots between two very different cameras. The Hero6 has a different chipset, also it has a higher dynamic range and a different color profile. Comparisons should be made with the same camera side by side. Also your notice more of a difference with refractions and reflections, highlights, and some shadows. I still enjoyed the video though, and I might pick up the same ND filter kit.

[@JevenDovey]

You missed the point of the video. We're not looking at color. Only motion blur. Thats the only thing the ND filters affect.

[@TommyKinsey1972]

best explanation of shutter speed I've ever heard

[@SBixlerPhoto]

I live in SM as well and I've been researching way to get my GoPro Hero 3+ Black to look a lot more cinematic instead of GoProish. I've also been wanting to get ND Filters for my Canon EOS T4i, but I'm not sure about the Hero3+ because it is inside a case most of the time.

[@IslandsOfFun]

Man that was so helpful!! I just got a Gitup Git2 and was trying to figure out what the shutter speed was for!! This truly helped me

[@JevenDovey]

😀😀😀

[@zhenyapestun]

Its incorrect to say, that 1/48 gives more lighting than 1/5000 because camera automaticaly controles the PORTION of Light. While they both brighten enough - its the same PORTION of Light (with same iso). Cause it ls not only shutter speed, but iris too. So, when you putting nd filter camera just need more TIME to get the same PORTION of Light and the only thing it bother - is moving objects, and yes, they become cinematiclay blured. But again - its the same PORTION of Light.

[@YourSpongeBoy]

I couldn't see the difference the first time I watched this video, but now it pops out to me very easily lol. ND filters it is for my gopro 7

[@rolealeatorionamatrix]

Hi! Great video! Is it waterproof?

[@BayAreaFPV]

Excellent video! Very helpful, particularly where you describe in depth shutter angle vs shutter speed. Thank you!

[@Saeedandi]

Honestly, my eyes prefer the non filter shots. Strange...

[@peterchasperli380]

He filmed in 30fps, If you film in 24 fps it's going to be more ruff without nd

[@eliteextremophile8895]

It's about the 'cinematic' motion blur. This would have been a bit better comparison with gimbal. When stuff is shot handheld low shutter speed means lost detail especially on highly lossy footage like DSLR's, mirrorless cameras and GoPro's. There's couple of things to take in consideration when shooting 'cinematic' footage. - Manual exposure and white balance. You can't have changing exposure or WB during shot. - 180° shutter (double the frame rate in digital cameras) for cinematic motion blur. - 24 (23.976) fps for 'cinematic' look. Yeah, it's a real thing. It mostly has to do with the hardware used before, but it actually makes a difference compared to 30fps footage. - Perfect focus. - Amount of bokeh considering the "feel" you're after. Constant exposure and perfect focus are actually the case here if you know how to handle post edit. For example (and I haven't actually tried this 'trick' with GoPro) it's often better to use higher shutter speed so you don't lose detail when using non-cinema cameras (DSLR, mirrorless etc.) Cinematic motion-blur can be added in the post. Also, it's possible to convert to 24fps in the post too. If your camera captures crispiest footage using 60fps and 1/1000 shutter speed, then go for it. But you have to understand how to edit the footage to look cinematic. Usually higher than 30fps is never used if you're not shooting slo-mo but I have seen exceptions. Especially when using GoPro.

[@usa1327]

i agree with elite on this one, keep the shutter high so you dont blur out your detail. personally id rather use the ND for aperture changes for the correct field of view and boken im looking for. but if anything i learned the reason for the double the shutter speed rule today.

[@625bmx]

Fantastic comment! Thanks for sharing your insight. I'm still a little lost on whether or not I should use an ND filter on a gopro though :/ I assume that if you have a manual shutter speed set on gopro, the only way you can make sure it's exposed properly is through adjusting the ISO? Also, how do you get perfect focus on GoPro? Do you just have to rely on the auto focus? Or is there even autofocus considering GoPros don't have a shallow depth of field anyways. Thanks in advance! I'm a noob/hobbyist so please excuse my ignorance on the topic!

[@robinfrenzy]

I disagree, the footage looks very choppy without. Especially when he was walking from right to left.

[@overthebars6983]

To all who are saying no nd looks better, colour correction can be done in post, the point of this is the motion blur.

[@JevenDovey]

Thank You! Finally someone that gets it haha

[@garystackhouse5787]

Responding to ND filters by saying "Who wants blurry video?" is like responding to an audiophile review of a high-end tube stereo amp by saying "Who wants distorted audio?" Solid State or digital amplifiers provide FAR less distortion, but audiophiles prefer tubes (even though the audio is far more distorted) because the distortion the tubes introduce 'warms up" the audio, making it easier to listen to and more like what we would hear in a live music setting. Motion blur does the same to video, making video look more like movies shot on film... and actually more like what our eyes actually see in real life. Much like 24fps looks more like film and 30fps looks more like a Soap Opera on TV, using 180 degree shutter goes a step further toward that "cinematic" feel (as do using the right lighting, shooting with a shallow depth of field, and letterboxing for a wider, Cinerama-style 21:9 aspect ratio.)

[@cheakimsea2613]

Damn the filter is crazy good. It looks like you won't need to edit the footage as much.

[@JevenDovey]

Yeah I like the filters

[@jakubwieczorkiewicz8431]

Definately smoother, people who don't see it probably don't have the best eyes. It is a cinematic standard for a reason. With a gimbal however it will be less noticable.

[@JevenDovey]

Yes for sure. I'm going to do another video just about ND filters in general and I think more people will understand with that one

[@BanglaNewsTube]

Nice camera

[@JevenDovey]

+Bangla news Tube it is a nice camera

[@donjtrump]

Wow if you pause the shots the ND shot is much blurrier..could you achieve the exposure solution with premiere pro?

[@TheOverlordOfProcrastination]

Excellent explanation, mate.

[@ing.antoniosa5466]

What a great video! Subscribing to your channel from Mexico

[@RedMediaStudios]

I make shortfilms in 4k 60 Frames per second, and soon me and "my crew" are going to shoot one for a shortfilmfestival. So you recommend shutter speed 1/120 and an ND Filter?

[@leighrieder3717]

Hi Jeven - I understand the calc of doubling your shutter speed to that of your frame rate (no confusion there)...however, what if I DON'T have an ND Filter and i want to shoot in bright daylight?... If i speed my shutter HIGHER (to accommodate for the bright sun) would the video still look jittery? In other words (for example) I'm shooting at 30fps, and my shutter is at 200+ to not blow out the highlights of my video. Is my only solution to get ND filters so i can bring that shutter speed DOWN to 60?

[@JevenDovey]

Yes on a gopro an ND filter is the only way to bring down your shutter speed in bright light.

[@RexMerino]

Thanks jeven

[@hugeitsu271]

Another awesome video. Thanks!

[@tinker2561]

Appreciate the breakdown. I can imagine the average person will opt for native gopro, because they will see sharpness in image quality as a strength over motion blur.

[@reinoutwijnholds3347]

Agreed, as you build up more knowledge about film making, you find out it’s very essential to have motion blur.

[@jejakmaknawi]

Hi Jeven, I found that using ND Filters makes the GoPro's stabilization less effective and less stable. Do you experience the same? Thank You

[@JawaviFilms]

That first shot of the bike wheel w/the motion blur was really the only time I could tell that the ND filter was doing anything 🤷‍♂️ Hey man, this video was ace on the explanation of shutter speed & thoughts behind using an ND filter. I need one for my SLR.

[@jakemoore2450]

What editing software do you use for your drone shots? P.S. Great video I'm now thinking about buying nd filters

[@speedymarc]

You can change the color if you put on protune.

[@JevenDovey]

Yes You can

[@speedymarc]

it was not a question ahah but ty.

[@tommiemcswizzle1485]

Barely noticed motion blur... Perhaps try even slower shutter speed - The main difference I noticed was the colours and contrast slightly changed for some shots - perhaps between gopro 5 & 6 - or maybe a slight grade? I actually prefer the crisp look anyway :P - Good informative video's tho keep up the good work.

[@tommiemcswizzle1485]

Watched again... noticed it more on the shots where the action is right next to the camera lens... shots like this do look nice - please accept my apologies

[@kar-unboxed]

ND filters just block light, you can achieve the effect of ND filters by just reducing the exposure value in protune settings unless you want to mess around with the shutter speed to keep it at 24 fps or shooting. These additional layers of glass will only create unwanted artifacts IMHO.

[@JevenDovey]

Not the same at all. ND filters allow you to keep your shutterspeed at 1/60 or 1/50 while bringing down your exposure. That’s how you get the typical cinematic look with motion blur

[@kar-unboxed]

Makes sense... I was just thinking from a color science standpoint. Great video!

[@JevenDovey]

Thanks. ND filters don't have anything to do with color. They just bring down the exposure. They're not suppose to shift the color at all. Sometimes there is a shift because you're putting a new lens on top of your camera but usually its nothing that can't be fixed easily in your editing software

[@freshprinceofsolair]

u can get a cinematic look with any type of camera if you understand light

[@quazar912]

in some situations ND filters are usefull, but in some are useles. it`s good to have some with you outside but they aren`t irreplacable. and I don`t like motion blur or 24p... many youtubers explained why 24 isn`t must have

[@MikeSmale]

Hey, Happy New Year!! Can you recommend a good camera/electronics store in Anaheim/LA? Going to be in town and want to pick up a set of these polar pro filters. these things are pricey in the uk. Hope you're well!

[@Karel.C]

What's the difference of these filters like these that replace the lenscap and those that clip on the lenscap? Is there any quality difference?

[@adventuresofjandk]

Love your page. Thanks for all the great tutorials. Do you have any advise for creating an intro? I am trying to create one.

[@throughmylens5582]

It was a very helpful video.

[@SoniaDoubleG]

Looks amazing

[@SerGighen]

"ND filter will have a bit of color shift, it ok" NO it's not. ND stands for Neutral Density they shouldnt have any color shift, if they do it just means they are not very good. Also "Cinematic Look" is a bit of a wide concept. Motion blur? sure but what about depth of field, Dynamic Rage, sharpness, aspect ratio and all those others parameters? I am sorry but if you want a cinematic look just don't shoot on a Gopro, thats not what they are designed for or good at.

[@obi-wankenobi9871]

We are talking about fimling with a gopro here, not a dslr or something comparable. You cant even set the depth of field on a gopro.

[@Biglouieeem]

you can't set the dof on any camera. you do so with ND filters, aperture size, camera distance to subject to background, and lens length.

[@obi-wankenobi9871]

Lou Mifsud really? ... I just didn't feel like typing all of that on a shitty phone.

[@thebachelordj]

Heavier ND filters do shift colour slightly, even on broadcast cameras

[@miser42]

Voted as most idiotic comment I have read here.

[@wargarkaz]

So one of those cameras is the Hero 5 and the other is the Hero 6? I heard they have a little different colors, dynamic range and the stabilisation might somehow make a difference. Poor comparison, cant tell if image difference is because of filter or because of different cameras used.

[@JevenDovey]

Even if the image looks different you should only be focused on the motion blur. That’s what changes when you use ND filters

[@theartisanangler2913]

Great video but it doesn’t replace the lens, it’s a filter over the lens. You expose the lens when you take it off and on. Also an ND or “ neutral density” filter doesn’t help you adjust your shutter speed. Your shutter speed should be a reflection of the frame rate you have selected. It’s purpose is to allow you to lower your Aperture for a shallower depth of field.

[@JevenDovey]

You’re actually very wrong. It does replace the outer lens on the GoPro. Also you can reduce your shutterspeed to double your framerate without a ND filthier. It also allows you to open wider on your aperture but for a GoPro that doesn’t matter cause it’s so wide

[@theartisanangler2913]

Jeven Dovey literally nothing you just said is accurate but that’s ok you will learn as you go 😂

[@lordjohnny8930]

Hi another great video Do you use Final Cut Pro x ? What set up do you run ?

[@tony1954]

This might be a dumb question, but why not just set the shutter speed manually?

[@harVentures]

He is setting it manually. Without the ND filter the GoPro is on auto. When you set it manually to double the frame rate it lets in more light. That’s why the ND filter is like sunglasses.

[@beautiful_life8823]

The BGM 5:30 is it Michael Thompson Falling sun? How come can't find it anywhere

[@izmire54]

When you slow shutter speed you have to stop light to overexpose, ND filter decrease light, when you you use lower shutter speed fast moving objects looks blurry and you could feel the motion, and cinematic look must be softer one which is true in video. But color grading and stabilization makes more cinematic look than lower shutter speed for me.

[@oskiH]

in high glare situations the nd filter seems useful however outside of that regular looks better. IMO

[@YouMotorcycle]

Video starts at @1:40

[@tomowens7499]

man. i own and love the sony fdr x3000, i bought an nd filter for it in order to get that motion blur... the camera apparently did whatever it could to keep shutter speed high! (bump iso probably) anyhow, that was frustrating, i was after the same thing you are after here in this video and it wouldn't do it. i sent the nd filter back. the go pro can be set manually? i might need to get one...

[@SlowWalks]

Use color "flat" in the gopro setting...

[@JudiChristopher]

5:21 The footage without the filter is sharper... (right side) The footage with the filter is darker, able to see it better. Great video... Did you ever do you documentary?

[@OzzieTech]

Crazy as i am doing the same thing as you and I also chose expand. Wow small world.

[@randysmith6493]

I am starting to go with 1080p 60 so that I have more frames to smooth out the pans and the motions, I got way more chops in the panoramas that looked like the camera dropped frames but I think now that was image stabilization, with stabilization running out of space on the sensor. I dropped from 4k to 108p 60, to allow more presentations smoothness for computers displaying from youtube. I will be getting ND filters to see if I like the end result, but 24 frames I think is not looking good, especial with maybe 80mbs. I have a Sony FDR X3000 that has optical stabilized lens, that works better, and it shoots 100mbs @ 60fps. The new Fujifilm x-h1 will shoot 4k at 30 fps with 200mbs, and a new cinema profile, that is looking pretty good.

[@rustler08]

Which one looks better in post, though.

[@isaacsoto8906]

16:9 30 fps 1/60th shutter speed = "cinematic" in my opinion. I have had the need for an ND filter in some shots that are just too bright. going into the camera and lowering the exposure to compensate can introduce undesirable artifacts into your picture like grain. ND do have a place while filming. they can make post a bit easier too.

[@antonpiliugin811]

Dude, did you changed the color of your eyes with an eye lenses or with your video editor?

[@ixxgxx]

I Wonder how many people take a basic Ansel Adams Zone System class these days, or if its even offered..

[@josiahhayton1050]

Thanks for the info mate! Do you have the same comparison but for footage that has been slowed down from 60/120/240 fps?

[@NichWoodruff]

Great explanation . I appreciate you making this video. Be Well

[@musaire]

What's the point of using ND filter while leaving ISO at auto?? Your ISO may shoot up to the worst noisy ISO and you may not notice the point you would need lower factor ND because the auto-ISO compensates for too dark situations.

[@JohnMarchan]

fantastic tutorial. Thank you!

[@BikeGuyFPV]

How come nobody makes a Session 4/5 lens with a ND filter built in? Meaning, you don’t need a separate camera cage mount to slip glass on? You know, if you break or shatter your Session lens, it would be that but with the ND part built in.

[@JevenDovey]

Don't know. Thats a great idea!

[@VideoAssociates]

For a camera with a significant base price to begin with, these add ons push this to price outlay too high, especially in 2019

[@VDJ4500]

a very little of an obvious difference imho... even with the filters on it has that weird "choppy" look so the filter won't really improve it that much, but thanks for the theory explanation. That's always a good thing.

So basically without an ND filter everything looks clear, not blurry, and sharp?

[@JevenDovey]

Yes

[@randomdudefpv4927]

some shots with ND looks so juicy

[@AidanGunn]

not very "CINEMATIC" mate

[@JevenDovey]

Depends on what you think cinematic means

[@AidanGunn]

you are very clever..

[@Notion8]

dont look at the image colour etc. look at the motion blur. thats cinematic motion blur

Hey buddy, I came over from my friend at Harvey Danger films. He did a video mail call where he opened up some stuff from you. I was very interested in what these ND filters do. Thanks for explaing it. I know you said you can set the manual settings in protune, is that another app you download in order to adjust a GoPro manually?

[@JevenDovey]

Hey! There’s not another app that I know of to change settings. The GoPro is limited in the range you can get of it in the log setting.

[@SouthernFoodJunkie]

Jeven Dovey I got ya! Thanks buddy.
