Will the Polar Pro PMVND version II filters make you go all MISTY?

- In this video, whilst I take a look the new Polar Pro Peter McKinnon variable ND filters my focus is on the diffusion side. There is a new “mist” diffusion version which is very interesting. I compare it to some well known diffusion filters. There will be a full comparison of the variable ND side to other brands in my next video.

Unfortunately there is no part 2 as not long after this I had a huge amount of gear stolen from me which included the Canon R5, a7siii, many lenses and all my filters.
I'm sorry Philip. You work so hard to be able to share your experience with different equipment, it's unfair.
Adding halation to your logo at the beginning was a nice touch. I always appreciate your clever details, Philip.
your almost 50 year old skin looks perfect to us
Sounds to me like you were watching through the 10% filter! You should make eye glasses with them in so the world can look just that little bit prettier :)
Haha I love this thumbnail
I was gonna say the same thing. Now I can't 🤣
Hey PM luv ur stuff
@@psmontte can you please stop throwing shade. Both PM and PB are making good honest videos and they wish to help others.
Please don't be a dink. It's not that hard not to be a dink
@@psmontte you are being a dink. If you have anything legit to say say it nicely without being a dink. Also how the f*** do you know how much money they're making?
@UCu8E02n5TkOpoocamAUOkBQ Well, great, don't go around the internet trying to squash people under your foot cuz you don't like their work, shut up and move on
Strange that PolarPro have not yet developed a Philip Bloom Feline Portraiture VND. Bit of a mist opportunity.
😂😂
Actual link to vaseline :D What a BOSS!
This will obviously not be new to you, but the visual style and (sometimes not so) subtle jokes with your professional attitude is incredibly refreshing. As you said, one could have watched a hundred more or less identical videos on these things on here already. Your different approach is very appreciated, thank you. Great footage of your dad, best of wishes to him.
2:35 Texan over here in the 4.6% 😂
I thought you were Canadian! Actually i just assumed as everyone else is! :)
Philip Bloom it is understandable to assume Matt is Canadian .. since Matt is such a nice person
"pretty much impossible to make a simple video about a product". That's why we're all here Philip. Grab a coffee, we're in it for the long haul.
So sorry about your dads health, let’s hope he makes a full recovery and enjoys many more good years with you and your family
Wishing dad a speedy recovery. Hope you get to spend time with him, seems a cool character 🤗
I have no plan on buying these gears. I just find your videos very relaxing, and captivating sometimes, to watch.
Lots of positive thoughts for your father coming his way!
We're all misty eyed now, Philip. Great work. Hug, Nino
Sending good thoughts your way for you and your dad. I lost my dad just before my 30th birthday some 17 years ago now. Not a day goes by I don't think about him and wish I could have had more time with him. Also, excellent duck face selfie shot.
thank you Gerald. That must have been very hard on you :(
Phillip's dad looks like a badass. Definitely what I want to look like when I grow up.
Great video! I didn't expect your take on this product. I feel like it's rare that a product deserves a 'Philip Bloom' review. Thanks for making this!
Cheers Matt! Never made a video on filters before so thought it was a good springboard! Next one will be very interesting as it really shows the pros and cons of variable NDs!
@@philipbloom - I'm trying to decide on buying one of these. But I can wait till your next video . No rush. ;)
Hi Philip, thanks again for a wonderful video with great humor. I recently bought the Black Pro Mist 1/4 out of curiosity, and I am enjoying it. My thoughts are with your father and I wish him a quick recovery!
A Philip and a Gerald video on the same day, going to be a good evening
Affirming great youtube channels is a hobby of mine. Philip, thank you so much for taking the time to make a quality review. Your comedic approach and attention to detail is not only entertaining but inspiring.
I spent 18:45 seconds watching a video on ND filters. Well done Phillip. Thanks!
And I failed because it wasn’t even on ND filters! 🤣
@@philipbloom My apologies, mist diffusion vnd's
I have to say, out of all those examples, I like the Tiffen Black Diffusion FX the best. It's the most natural looking of the lot. It's not as intrusive or effect looking, if that makes sense. The PMKNVD comes in a close second. Hope your dad feels better!
Good vibes to your Pops Philip
Wishing your Dad a speedy recovery and may he regain full health :)
God I hate the look of the diffusion on every single filter besides the polar pro and even those I didn't care for. They all just look like foggy lenses. I swear people trick themselves into thinking stuff looks better when it doesn't. The ones that weren't overly strong didn't seem like the effect was consistent throughout the frame and it was confusing my eye. This probably isn't the ideal scenario where these would excel but idk. I just don't think the diffusion look is for me I guess.
Now we need a Bloom Gold Vs. Peter McKinnon filters!!! Battle of the signature products!
He has variable NDs. Mine are purely diffusion filters.
Positive vibes sent and Lollipop looks adorable as usual!
Nice I ordered the Edition 1 about 10min ago. Then open RUclips and Version 2 is promoted on all big filmmaker channels.
SAME
Same, bought version 1 a week ago
Dony worry. V1 is great and might be preferable as no hard stops. Smoother. Will talk about it more in next video when I compare
@@philipbloom Thanks I literally have it still in the box because I didn't need it yet so will just hold on for a minute and then consider swapping it.
Love all Philip Bloom video,s...Top Professional...PERIOD...Hope your Father gets well very soon..
When is fog not fog? When it is MIST... Great video!!! Love the "I could do with a few more" comment. Lollipop is beautiful!
She so is!
I was just about to go down the rabbit hole of diffusion filters and try to figure out which I wanted when you released this. Perfect timing.
And it must be my British roots, but this American loves the British sense of humour.
Super excited to see your part 2! I chose the Freewell 95mm VND over the Peter McKinnon and couldn't be happier. Not sure why Polar Pro doesn't make a 95mm size.
I almost bought the 95mm but I only have one lens that big and did want to step up to that for all my other lenses as that’s massive!
Cheers for mentioning about increased softness with telephoto lenses. Was shooting recently on a site at 200mm, with the SigII mist, on distant buildings and was wondering why the footage was not entirely sharp. Head scratching ensued. Pilot error as usual.
I was up in the air on these or the Tilta Motorized Variable ND Matte Box - this obviously will give me a better look, but the Matte Box probably will be more convenient. I think this helped make up my mind, glad you keep making content, you're one of the few video reviewers I trust.
Thanks for uploading, all those years ago, the view of Sydney Harbour from the hotel room window; very nice video, still look at it sometimes, reminds me of what a pretty place Sydney is and that it is a party town. (not during Covid19 though). Have A Nice Day Phillip.
Best wishes to your dad. Once again I am shopping for a VariND and this video is immensely helpful.
Loved the shots of your kitties 😻😻
Can we ask for other filters? The Schneider Black Magic filters are among the hottest sellers on B&H. Reason being IMHO that they are subtle, especially in strong light, with good (not overwhelming) bloom. Thanks Phillip.
The diffusion section is finished though. My next vid is comparing VNDs 🤢
Patiently waiting for the Feline Pro Filters.
Best wishes for your dad!!
Philip Bloom, The Yoda of RUclipsrs....
Why did you use the black pro mist #1 instead of a #1/8 strength? 1/8 is way more subtle.
So many places I cracked up during this video... that cat, Vaseline link .... haha loved it. Sent healing energy to your dad.
All the best to your Dad Philip, he always comes across as a decent fellow.
Best wishes to your Dad Philip. Hope he's well soon.
Can't believe it, that's the video I was waiting for😍 I'll wait for pt.2 before buying
Hey. Going to be praying for papa Philip Health to Improve. Great video
The sense of humor part is true. although, im in the northeast states, we still got it, but outside that, its getting rare. Sarcasm, jokes...Richard Pryor recently rolled over because of it. Stay Smilin' Future video coming with P.M. and the always enchanting Sir Bloom. Be well
Looking forward to pt. 2 Philip, and sending all the good thoughts towards Mr. Bloom! One question I have, does the filter order matter when stacking? I've always been concerned about what order to put the filters in on the lens. Thanks for everything!!!
Thank you. Diffusion first. Won’t go on any other way anyway!
Thanks a lot for the Vaseline link! I was looking for this everywhere but you just can't buy it in Germany
Great video, lots to digest in this. Don’t think I will tire of how many times you said “mist”
PM ND Misty + CineBloom all within the same month!! It's an amazing time for gear lovers
Hope your dad gets better soon!!!
Thank you for being so British, you make miss my old London time. Don’t hate me but now I live .... in Canada 🇨🇦 😉 Hope your dad will feel better!
Great Video and entertaining too! Diffusion is the new crisp
They are great filters but at that price it's hard to recommend them knowing the Freewell Variable NDs are out, you can buy a pack of one 2-5ND, and one 6-9ND Freewell filter and two black promists, one 1/8th and one 1/4th all for 82mm for the same price that you can get the two PMVND filters.
Your Dad....straight up Godfather...looking. I’m sorry to hear he’s not well but I’ll include him in ma prayers. Thanks for the review.
It wish it had IR and UV cut in addition to being an ND, rather than mist. With Blackmagic cameras, I need IR CUT, and I rather not stack many filters.
Nice one Philip, bloomin great. Where's that second vid, I'm waiting?
At this rate you will have your own line soon! Great content as usual, but I suppose this comes easy to you as making RUclips videos is like riding a moped down a smooth straight street after a successful career as a enduro motorcycle racer. Keep up the amazing work!
Gotta love that sense of humour 😆
That RUclips user graph. So funny, so true.
Your dad is such a gangster! All the best to you and dad.
Great as usual! Looking forward to the sequel!
wanted to support the channel and use the link to buy some Vaseline... i haven't been rick rolled in ages 😂
Well B&H don't sell vaseline so what else could I do? :)
8:18 I like the Tiffen Satin 1 better or the glimmer glass 1
Great video! Can't seem to find part two, is it already out?
Hey Philip, did part two ever get made? Standing by... actually kinda excited about the comparisons... ? :-]
Just seeing this, praying your Dad is safe and well.
Best Line... Vaseline in the description below. Too Funny.
you all geeked about filters n fluffy looking highlights and completely missed the biggest hint about an upcoming health class @ 0:23. also this "diffusion" craze is driving me nuts, sure it looks different, but every video i watch where the point is to demo the effect, i have to make sure my glasses are clean. also black pro mist 1 is less "filmic" and more turkish bath house.
Everthing clever about this video is already said but I'd like to show my appreciation anyway, thanks!
I've posed this question on two other channels regarding the haptic feedback/hard stops on these new filters, however no one is willing to answer it, so third time lucky maybe - what is the real benefit of this new 'feature'?
I use VND's myself for shooting video, however I don't care how many stops I'm dialling in, I'm simply concerned about is 'is my exposure correct', so all I do is rotate it until the histogram looks good. Then if you're using one for long exposure photography, again you're not really concerned about how many stops you're dialling in, all you're concerned about is 'I want a certain length exposure time, so I'll rotate the filter until it gives me that'.
Always great content mate
Why no VDF (Variable Diffusion Filter)? Surely a _mist_ opportunity. I'll get my coat...
Smart idea! Let’s make it!
@@philipbloom Sshh! You never know who's listening. [PM me - No, not that one, he's already collaborating]
Really well done Philip as always.
Awesome review as always Phillip, thanks.
I actually click the Vaseline link! Great Video!
Great video as always. I hope your dad recovers asap! 🍀
Can anybody let me know if my vision can be created??
Sigma 18-35mm>Upstep ring 72mm-82mm>82mm PMVND>Tilta 82mm ring which attaches to Tilta Mini Matte Box
Thought I would go with 82mm PMVND to use on more choice of lenses with down step rings.
It would be good to be able to change ND increments and also use a Matte box to cut light
Any responses are very welcome :)
City on the Edge of Forever is M Y F A V O R I T E
It’s sooooo good!
Any idea what ratio Phillip puts these videos at? RUclips is giving me side matt bars on theatre mode on a 2015 15 MacBook pro. Very odd.
May the Lord God bless your dad and give wisdom to those treating him to bring him his health back.
You’re such a smart arse. I love it.
Excellent as usual.
I'd really like a ND8 with diffusion added. I hate using VNDs
Great video, I enjoyed your humor. Well done. 1st time here.
Wich one are the advantages of having this filter with VND Mist Edition instead of VND Signature Edition + Black pro mist. Isn't better to have both separatly and use it when you want? Thanks
It was a terrific job!
Haha love the halation effect for your intro card, very smart :)
Love this video
I'm curious what your light and camera settings were in this video. Love it bloom
Philip Bloom is Sir David Frederick Attenborough of Video world 🤔
I was hating on this video at the start thinking oh here we go, PB dragging the vid out. But then the ethics disclosure re PB's relationship history with P McKinnion. I actually laughed out loud.
My big question is how the Polar Pro VND's stack up to the Moment VND's. The Moment's are 2/3rds the price and at least "appear to be" the same level of quality.
You will find out soon! :)
Ahhh the Peppermil restaurant in Vegas lol
12:17 just perfect 👌🏻
filters are the nightmare of a VFX compositor. You get a shot with all sorts of crazy things going on because the DOP decided to use filters and what not, and you want to pull a key or you are integrating CG imagery. So, I know filters look pretty; but pleeese use them very very sparsely. :)
Hello Philipp, I don't get how you could find the PP VNDs "best you've ever used", have you never seen the crazy White-Balance Shift changing from Min. to Max. Mark? I have compared so much VNDs and honestly this shift in Color Temperature was the highest on the PolarPro VNDs.
Schießstand - Foto & Video did I say those exact words? Did I go into detail about them at all? Did I say I will be comparing them to others in my next video? I personally have never found a variable ND without a colour shift and my tests for the upcoming 2nd video prove this but then 2 of the key tests in that video the PP ones did the best; but you will have to wait for that video. Please do your own video in the meantime showing your findings. Ta
@@philipbloom hey Philipp, I already did 😊 but it's in German so hard to show. It is 54 Minutes long. 😂
ruclips.net/video/lLXkZOob6LI/видео.html
I recommend you to check out the Freewell Set. I found them to have the least color shift, feature wise they are like PPs but just for half the money.
Hi Philip
Can one stack a circular polarizer with these variable ND’s without issues?
Thanks for all your videos, you’re a great storyteller 😊
Hi, the variable Nd has a circular polariser with it. There is a front thread though
That Vaseline got me dammit.
