I saw your video come up, and thought “uh oh, I just bought a screw-on VND because of the concern about mag filters popping off during run-and-gun shooting”. After watching this, I realized that although it’s really cool, it doesn’t look like it solves that concern. These systems need a clip or something that secures the filter in place more than just the magnets. When I saw how the backing plate clamped on, I was hopeful that there was something similar for the next step, but not so. You might share that feedback because I really like the basic idea. Thanks for the video, and your new studio looks swanky!

[@markwiemels]

I think these are pretty secure. I have bumped off their old model, just by hitting it. This is a bigger system overall. Super versatile, but larger too, which may be a disadvantage for some.

Test footage is really wanting in this video

[@johndemian]

The new studio is lit!

[@markwiemels]

Thanks.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Whoohoo look at that studio!! And great review!!

[@markwiemels]

Lots of space now.

Love the new studio, Mark! The wider corner style table is better compared to the smaller detach one from the old studio, and the angle of the low camera also great. Nice touch with the light on the door behind! This is totally a great upgrade and enhance my experience watching your videos that keeps getting better and better! Super Cool!

[@markwiemels]

Thank you so much. It’s pretty much an empty room at this stage, I put a lot of effort into working out that shot. I’m so glad you appreciated the light from the door too! This comment has made my day. This setup may change, but it took me so much effort to work it out, with what I had to work with, it’s so good to get that feedback.

[@markexploringnewstuff]

Nice new studio digs! Congrats and best wishes.

[@markwiemels]

Thanks 👍

[@UncleSeven]

Nice video bro. Can you use ND Filter with Polarizer? and how?

[@drmarkkwon]

Very clever ND filter system

[@drmarkkwon]

Great video!

[@dawnbuckman7710]

This looks like screw on filter only? So for my Tamron 15-30 lens or other wide angle lenses, I would still be limited to filter systems for specific lenses? Or is there something I'm not seeing here?

[@markwiemels]

Yes, screw on.

[@creativetom413]

Can you use the k2 fix nd's (like nd 1000) + cpl + gnd?

[@RogerAVHansen]

Looks like a good product ☺️ By the way, how do you get on freewell’s list? 😅😉

[@ronyedin]

Can you compare with the Maven Magnetic filters. I think the Maven ones are much better.

[@markwiemels]

I will if i get some.

[@FreewellGear]

Hey Rony in order to make the comparison first that brand has to make this product which they do not.

[@JoATTech]

What about colour cast of the VNDs?

[@markwiemels]

I was no seeing much, if any, in my use, but I have not done a color chart check, but I will at some stage.

[@CableWrestler]

End game is one word Endgame 👍🏻

[@markwiemels]

Thank you!

[@ziv2liv]

I wonder if that system can solve the "No filter" lenses issue such as the Sigma AF 8-16mm f4.5-5.6 DC HSM

[@markwiemels]

I don't think so. I assume you mean no filter threads?

[@ziv2liv]

@@markwiemels Exactly.

[@tonysluna]

So.. You "Came Out Of The Closet"??? lol lol

[@ishmealjackson215]

Aren't you doing a canon eos r50 review?

[@markwiemels]

Once I can find one.

[@akilwilliams8288]

Mark, which one should I get as far as the package? I'm new and I would like a a one shot.

[@markwiemels]

The kit with the snow mist filter would be nice, if your are film maker, or the basic kit. The landscape options is really more for serious landscape photographers.

[@Skider]

This is an amazing product

[@markwiemels]

Yea, its cool.

[@robert9guinn]

all my nd dreams have become reality, thanks!!!

[@idiotburns]

so they pay more for consulting or your guys do it free?

[@markwiemels]

I'm not sure about others, but I don't get paid anything. If I am ever paid by a company I will say so in the video.

[@idiotburns]

@@markwiemels Just the product as payment or is that also returned in most scenarios? Guitar youtubers charge like $800 a video based on a product as well as keep the product if under $500 or perhaps just want that in discount if they decide to keep/flip it.

[@markwiemels]

@@idiotburns yes, I get to keep the product. Most companies will pay, if you ask them, but that comes with requirements and restrictions, which I’m not interested in at this stage. If it’s a good product, I talk about, if not I don’t.

[@idiotburns]

@@markwiemels Oh yeah, in the guitar youtube world its a little different it seems

[@idiotburns]

@@markwiemels Also, this product is awesome that you reviewed, we built a similar set of ND filters for the cameras in the Amnis Imagestream X

[@josethevegan8923]

Nice! 🎉
