Thanks for this video - it saved me money as well. To me, it almost appears as though the lens was smudged with oil - not a look I am going for in my videos. Thanks again!
Promist is a very '80s' looking filter. I'd generally prefer to add an effect like this in post these days rather than baking it in. Promist has connotations of cheap video for me, since it was often used on video cameras back in the day to try and make them look more 'cinematic' or to help with glamour shots.
i just purchased the freewell vndxmist filters two vnd filters with a 14 mist filter built in 1 - 5 stop and 6 - 9 stop , really pleased with how they work, only used them on my last vlog but was pleased with the results!
@@chrisguzman7926 I see them a couple of times but the last vlog I did at Battersea Power Station I used them and was very happy with results, I'm sure you will be
The value of the filter should be at least 99 pence. Anything captured with the filter demands a mention of "a little bit" instead of a massive difference. All in all, the camera itself is truly impressive.
I didn't wanna drop another 60 for a part to something I don't even have, but this first scene if you dropping it over and showing the sun makes it worth. Thanks man!
Thanks for the review….I’ve only had the Pocket 3 for less than a week and have been considering a Black Mist filter. But having watched your video I think I’m less convinced. The 120 video looked nice but slow motion usually does. On the negative side….to me….its like you’ve filmed in a lower quality setting rather than improve the footage. It might be that our U.K. winter sun doesn’t look quite as appealing than on the coastline of some far off tropical location. Not sure that it’s worth the £39 that it seems to be priced at. Just as a side note, I watched many reviews saying how good the 3 is at stabilising footage. But on rougher ground as in your videos I’ve found little improvement over the 2 which is a little disappointing. I hope that Dji note your observation regarding the lack of magnetism on the lens. I lost my wide angle lens on the 2 for the same reason whilst placed in its protective cover. I’m a Dji fan but sometimes they seem to overlook the testing on a day to day use. Thanks for your video.
just got off with DJI support chat and they say DJI promist is 1/4. I use 1/8 only so this is a no go but, given the target audience, I think I get why DJI made its promist filter at 1/4. Hope they add 1/8 in their store soon.
I am a bit of a newbe having just upgraded from a Pocket Pro to a Pocket Pro 3 but it seems to me that Circularising Polarising Filter gives a better effect. Your comments appreciated. Snoopy
Is it not better to use an ND filter in daylight, rather than black mist, so the shutter can be set to double the frame rate? (30fps = 1/60th sec shutter). Maybe the black mist makes more sense in low light, night footage?
Yeah, that’s my problem with the mist filter as well. It’s either the ND filter or the Mist filter if you are shooting outside in the day time. I think I’d have to give priority for the ND filter. I don’t want some of my shots in a film with the mist filter, but other shots not.
Hmmmm. Thank you for making this, i think I'm gonna stick with the PolarPro Polarized filter i ordered. I have no idea what number it is, though it seemed lighter than the vivid 3 nd filter kit almost like an NDPL-4, but i won't know until I get it in late November. I messaged Polar Pro about more info and never got a reply back, lol! It's been a week now. I bought NDPL filters for my Gopro Hero 10 years ago, and I've only needed to use the NDPL8 here and there. The other two are just too dark. 😅 thumbs up! 👍
I put like an amazon glass protecter on the cam and now even the regular wide angle kinda slides down cause the magnets aren't powerful enough, so I haven't used it a lot and it keeps me from buying other filters... anyway cool video man thanks!
The problem with the Pro Mist Filter is that it’s impossible to use with an ND filter. So my question is, if you had to choose between an ND filter for the 180 degree rule, or the pro mist filter, which would you choose?
You can add filtration in post… but once your highlights are clipped, they are lost forever. And without the 180° shutter angle things start to look very video. I know which I would choose.
@@UnPneuApreslAutre Are you sure? I specifically asked DJI about this and they said the filters can’t be stacked. Are you talking about DJI ND filters combined with the pro mist or the freewell ones?
i agree with you, they definitely missed a trick with the pro mist being unable to attach to the wide angle lens... that would have been a game changer. not sure why they decided not to do that at all. bizarre. another great video.
I don’t think they did it because the the wide angle lens can be put inside the hard case while on, but you can’t do that if you stack filters. Plus, there may be another factor of too much weight affecting the gimble. I don’t think they just didn’t think of that.
Footage looks okay but I wouldn't pay $50 for it. I ordered a cheaper black mist filter on Amazon which should arrive next week. I Also ordered a Polarpro vivid ND filters set unfortunately shipping starts at the end of November.
If you’re not in an environment where a mist filter would even work this seems like a waste of $50 when you can easily add the effect when editing the footage.
Can the gimbal fold itself properly when powering off with the black mist attached? Or will the gimbal face the same direction as the 2 inch screen, like when the wide angle lens is attached?
why is the background as smooth as silk but you yourself are all jittery? i don't know, but i notice this. Maybe if face tracking is turned off, you'll be as smooth as the background? you don't have to use face tracking all the time. it's great though when stationary on a tripod.
Question, is it possible to lock it forward without any drift left or right while walking? I do walks around dying malls etc.. and I keep having to use the joystick to fix the drift of the gimbal =( Ive used "gimbal lock" by holding button but it still drifts everywhere. I am sure it's me but couldn't find anything on it. :)
I don't think it looks that good. I would like to see the CPL filters. Also kind of lame you can't combine these. You think we will get some nice anamorphic lens like we did with the others?
Wauuu... I think that this filter is a tiny little step, but it counts on long term... I will buy it... soon... thnx for the review... I just subscribed to your channell... wery good content...
No disrespect but OMG! i wish this community would chill on the whole 'cinematic' crap! It's cinematic cuz you slowed it down 120 fps and played your dreamy music over it. I wouldn't pay 60 for something you could do in post w the click of a mouse.
Hello I just subscribed your channel :))) Black Pro Mist Filter is great :))) My Autum Garden is in full bloom and we're excited to share it with you as we take you on a virtual tour of flower garden! @angelgardenvlog
Thanks for this video - it saved me money as well. To me, it almost appears as though the lens was smudged with oil - not a look I am going for in my videos. Thanks again!
Yes, I think it softens the edges on the glares very nicely. Overall nice soft touch. Subtle, but indeed noticeable. I really like it. Nice video, ty!
Thank you, this video saved my money :)

Geez. that's really impressive footage from the pocket 3 and the BPM filter. Great video!

Thank you so much! Everything in this video answered all of my questions ❤
This was so helpful! Thank you!
yup, it does look good. black mist filter definitely does "something" to the footage. i like it. 🙂
Great video, nice work.
❤ amazing shots, the camera is incredible. I'm waiting for the camera to be available in my country.
beautiful dreamy look
I thought it looked quite nice! Also, stunning shots you did outside🤩 What a beautiful place🤌
Great video. Thank you! 🙏🏽
Thanks, now i know what the black mist pro filter is used for at my new Pocket 3 👍🙏
Thanks for making this video. I'm scared it would eventually fall off. Seems like something one could easily lose.

finally instock in aus just ordered thanks Zander
Waiting the freewell version with ND filters included
So helpful. Cheers mate

Scatter allows you to add filtration in post. Granted it’s a pricy plugin. But over a lifetime of buying filter sets, it might work out much cheaper.
Not worth $50…
I purchased an off brand called Skyreat for just $15 with similar results. Definitely not worth $50
I like the effect
It gives a skin soft effect in my opinion
Hmmmm. Thank you for making this, i think I'm gonna stick with the PolarPro Polarized filter i ordered.

i would go for the ND if you are using the shutter rule for video, but honestly for something like this i'm just using auto settings
No it works. Black Mist doesn’t work with wild angle BUT works perfectly with OP3 ND filters 😅
@@UnPneuApreslAutre Are you sure? I specifically asked DJI about this and they said the filters can’t be stacked. Are you talking about DJI ND filters combined with the pro mist or the freewell ones?

Could be that it wouldn’t fit in the gimbal without the wide angle filter
I like it better without. with it on it seems as though there is a smudge on the lens
My thoughts exactely. i was intrigued by te filter on the DJI page, but thanks to this video, i know i would be annoyed by it.
Footage looks okay but I wouldn't pay $50 for it. I ordered a cheaper black mist filter on Amazon which should arrive next week. I Also ordered a Polarpro vivid ND filters set unfortunately shipping starts at the end of November.
Money saved
Pity the black mist filter only plays piano music outside, can you change to bangin techno if you turn it the other way up?
What are the best quality for pocket 3, cpl and nd filters. Dji, freewell or polarpro?
Testing the freewell now, stay tuned
@ZanderRound Try to look after softening, vinjetting, colour shifting and optically defects.
Clip on Cataract! Makes your beard softer fuzzy too.
If you’re not in an environment where a mist filter would even work this seems like a waste of $50 when you can easily add the effect when editing the footage.
Can the gimbal fold itself properly when powering off with the black mist attached? Or will the gimbal face the same direction as the 2 inch screen, like when the wide angle lens is attached?
it still folds fine
Actually it doesn’t fold fine, I’m using Skyreat black mist and the camera folds fine but will not unfold when powered back on with the filter on?
What's the difference between black mist filter vs snow mist filter
As far as I know just slightly different creative looks, I have a snow mist from freewell I’m testing now so I will compare them
The link isn’t to ‘Pro’ filter. Are there two Black Mist filters, one Pro and one standard?
I definitely like the dreamy look
Just not sure its worth the money
why is the background as smooth as silk but you yourself are all jittery? i don't know, but i notice this. Maybe if face tracking is turned off, you'll be as smooth as the background? you don't have to use face tracking all the time. it's great though when stationary on a tripod.

Glad you did this video. Was looking at filters but tbh this looks like the old vaseline trick! No thanks. Not for me. Not at that price anyway!
Is this 1/4 or 1/8?
Thank you for making the video. Now i realize that the filter doesn't worth the money for my usage
I don't think it looks that good. I would like to see the CPL filters. Also kind of lame you can't combine these. You think we will get some nice anamorphic lens like we did with the others?
I'm a bit tired of reviewers going on about cinematic video. I don't want it. I only want sharp, 4K 50P files, not gimmicks.
Don't buy a black mist lens then 👍
Good point, nice review. I already have one. I find that buyers prefer to add their own effects.☑@@ZanderRound
Не очень понял что дает этот фильтр
Wauuu... I think that this filter is a tiny little step, but it counts on long term... I will buy it... soon... thnx for the review... I just subscribed to your channell... wery good content...
Not impressed. I can do something similar to this, but more controllable in post. That way I don't have to bake it in during filming.
It looks strange like a dirty lens, I never liked it
I thought the same…like filming through your car windscreen first thing in a winters morning
i guess its more of a creative tool rather than a something that is going to make the footage look "better"
Looks like you have a smudged dirty lens with the filter on. Looks terrible.
No disrespect but OMG! i wish this community would chill on the whole 'cinematic' crap! It's cinematic cuz you slowed it down 120 fps and played your dreamy music over it. I wouldn't pay 60 for something you could do in post w the click of a mouse.
I don’t like , It look like there print finger on the lens lol
No difference
Looks like it made it worse.
what u mean bro, personally i like the dreamy vintage look from the filter
It looks terrible :'D
