Thanks fir the video. You’ve taught me so much about how to get the most out of the pocket 3. How do you know which ND filter to use to get the right exposure when using the 180 rule?
ruclips.net/video/M_Ucb8GwZuU/видео.htmlsi=rclKHHu_VNJGR9bB&t=35 at this section, put on the ND's until the top left corner says EV 0. This is only needed outdoors (indoor the shutter auto adjusts towards the rule), essentially, it's very specific for this camera, bright daylight ND64, towards sunset/sunrise/golden hour ND32, overcast ND 16, you can basically write that down and you'll be fine 😄
Hi, thanks for sharing this interesting video. I'd like to ask you a question. I recently got the Pocket 3 and today I received the FREEWELL ND8/PL filter. It's sad to say that the gimbal no longer folds. He is unable to make a normal turn to close, but the camera remains on its side and no longer protected. Why please? Thank you.
Hello, it is a wonderful video, thanks to share it. I need ask a question please. I have Pocket 3 for a little time. I make only documentaries in sunny places and I want to use one filter only because I don't have free time to change it. I could use a VND filter, but it causes a slight loss of video quality, so I'm thinking to put one fixed ND/PL filter on my Pocket 3. I shoot only in 4K 50p in sunny days, with what a light transparent cloud. If I want to use a ND/PL filter with a 50-400 ISO range and Automatic Exposure, is it more useful to buy a ND16/PL or ND32/PL filter? I thank you.
my first choice would be no filter because you're using high framerate, which is more difficult to see motion blur at all. If you like to try it out, then ND32 basic, the PL didnt seem that different, more difficult to use, and cannot stack. Easier to raise iso with nd32, impossible to lower framerate if ND16 is not enough.
@@CharlieVN Thanks for your advice. 2 questions come to me spontaneously: 1) maybe the ND32 worsens the video quality slightly compared to an ND16? 2) since it doesn't make much sense to use an ND filter for a 4K video with high framerate, perhaps it is better to buy a CPL filter and always leave it inserted? Thanks again!
@@ExploringWorldRUclips 1. there is no noticeable difference between the two, ND16 is kind of in a weird spot, not dark enough for most of the day, but ok for when mid mornings and late afternoons. 2. yes, that is a good option, but keep in mind that even CPL's have some darkening, maybe 1 or 2 stops, so avoid during low light.
@@CharlieVN I don't know how to thank you for your precious advice. One last question please because I have no experience with polarizers. I like an image that is a little more contrasted, crispier and with more colour. I use D-Log M, do you think I'll get what I want with CPL filter? Thanks again.
@@ExploringWorldRUclips Generally yes, but they can mess up skin tones, so be careful with that. if you like high contrast, try the default color profile instead, DLOG-M starts off low contrast, and is for people that want to not only color grade, but folks that add contrast after the fact in post. I have a lut for DLOG-M on my channel, it's free, but there is zero added contrast and often, I add it in post and have presets for each camera. The reason I prefer to do in post is because some scenes feel like there is enough contrast as it stands, so some clips may not get contrast treatment.
Great review sir! For a beginner who's looking to only shoot acoustic music videos with mostly controlled warm lighting, would any of these be necessary?
Great filter pack, but boy so expensive. Wish at least their budget pack had the LPR, impressive results. Obviously getting some ND filters and hunting for a single pack LPR. Great video, thanks for sharing your findings. Subscribed.
Indeed, if would be nice if there was an option for bundle pricing for maybe 3 filter pack, and 5 filter pack options and then you can pick and choose which you want for that given price.
When you turn off the OP3 with 1 filter on; does not allow to close to original off position. Some people may not be bothered by this i’m certain. Other brands are thinner and allow to get back to off position with 1 filter on.
Have a question, I know the freewell 14 pk comes with a snow mist filter, but no black mist filter. Do you know if either the DJI black mist will stack with the freewell ND filters, or if any of the aftermarket black mist like the Skyreat Black Mist Filter will stack and stick to the Freewell ND filters? Thank you in advance for any insight you might have.
thank you for getting back to me . i had seen where someone tried to stack a black mist filter and ND filter from 2 deferent brands for the Pocket 3 and it repealed each other. I do know all the FW stack, but now wonder if it will stack with deferent brand. @@CharlieVN
@@Potatocustom I just purchased the Mega limited edition 14 pack by Freewell and the mist filter will not stack on the ND's from the same kit! Very disappointing!
All consumer grade multi-coated glass. No technical difference - pick a brand you like, but absolutely no one needs "mega pack" of ND filters. A reasonable number of stops, and a long exposure abd your good. VND is where quality becomes important.
Thats what I have. I just bought the Mega Limited Edition 14 pack from Freewell and mine will not stack, Ive tried every combination possible, the magnets repell each other. @@CharlieVN
This is the most comprehensive presentation about filters for me. Very easy to understand. 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Dude this was so straightforward, had great examples, and you did well explaining things. Thank you! Now, to buy this or not to buy this haha.
thanks, I felt like it was a bit rushed, because I have other videos I have to complete asap. Glad you found it useful.
Nice video! Does the gimbal detect the filters during shutdown?
This is actually a great video, good job my Guy With Camera.
Very informative thanks ! Under which conditions did you have to stack together a CPL and a PL from the freewell set simultaneously?
Well done for banging the screen of the camera on the case...

most of the filter works that way, however, you can see in the video, you can still protect the camera with the filter mounted.
Love the video helped me alot, what filter (s) would you recommend to shoot indoors like a restaurant or bar?

my guess would be probably, even if slightly misaligned, the magnets are probably strong enough to keep them together

What are the best quality for pocket 3, cpl and nd filters. Dji, freewell or polarpro?
All consumer grade multi-coated glass. No technical difference - pick a brand you like, but absolutely no one needs "mega pack" of ND filters. A reasonable number of stops, and a long exposure abd your good. VND is where quality becomes important.
I like the LPR for all the Arc Sodium lights - interestingly, my Air 3 Drone does a decent job without it, DJI getting white balance spot on.
My mist filter will not stack!!!
Freewell mist on freewell nd stacks fine
