I have recently bought a Sony RX100 VII and it's a lovely little camera which packs quite a punch but when I realised there was no way to attach a filter then I was quite disappointed to think I couldn't experiment to get more out of the camera. So Chris, after seeing your video tutorials you have enthused me to get some filters and get back out there with more enthusiasm. I hope there are a few more filters out there that I could use.
Super explained! Congrats! I bought the rx100m7 recently and put a JJC filter adapter on it to use a polarisation filter. I had the idea to leave the adapter and filter always on the camera as I did with my slr before. But this configuration makes the camera bigger so that it is difficult to find a little bag wich I could carry with my belt.
I believe the reason you aren't seeing vignetting in video is due to your SteadyShot setting, which partially crops the image. With it turned off, I would assume the edges of the filter should still be visible. Thank you for pointing this out; I am considering getting the next size up now.
Thanks for this. I have an RX100 VI and had problems with exposure when filming flying aircraft at air shows due to the bright scenes. Hoping this will enable be to have full control of exposure when filming in the future.
Great video! Thanks! I am actively deciding between the Mark V vs. Mark VI/VII and was taking the lack of built-in ND filters into account but this doesn't seem so bad of a quick mod in terms of getting the extra focal range on the VI/VII. Now I have to decided if those newer models warrant all the extra costs!
Many thanks for this extremely clear presentation. Nice that no background music disturbs the comprehensibility. Are there also ND progression filters for this adapter?
Thank you, glad you liked it! To your question: the adapter allows to mount basically any filter of a specific size. In this case the adapter allows for 52mm filters, but you can buy it for other sizes, too. I don't have a ND progression filter, but I could imagine that it weighs more than the filter shown in the video. And if it would weigh more I am not sure if the magnetic connection can hold the weight. Hope that helps.
Hello. It's been four years since you applied the magnetic filter adapter. How has the adapter held up? Does the ring stay stuck? Is the magnetic attraction still strong? Any other issues you'd like to share? Thank you
Oh yes, great pleasure to see your video, great thanks. But I'm afraid that the weight of this filter may damage the autofocus motor ? What do you think about this risk ?
Yes, because it's the most compact size that didn't add much to the height of the lens. So I can set down the camera with the filter attached (without knocking off the magnetic ring).
I would not do this (and I am about to) without making sure the surface of the lens area where the metal ring goes is clean. So I will clean it first with a detergent/cleaner and make sure there is no grease or oil where the metal ring will adhere. *Then* I will position the 3M ring on the camera.
Many thanks for all of your presentation videos - i have same equipment (rx100 VII, Crane M2) and I have still unsolved problems. I am still looking or charging cable (direct from gimbal to Camera) and I am still looking for filters - here I have a Question. What about MagFilter 58 - maybe you can avoid vignetting with bigger filter ?
I bought a cable from Zhiyun because I thought I could replace the WiFi Connection for controlling the camera from the gimbal. But I had to return the cable to the store, because it didn't do anything. If you find a cable that works I would be interested to know. Concerning the bigger filter: yes it probably avoids the vignetting, but I think it wouldn't be flush to the body anymore. So you would have to take it off when you put the camera e.g. on a table.
That's annoying with the visible edges of the adapter ring. ND filters of less thickness would possibly be helpful. Are there any experienced users out there?
I don't have this camera, but the dimensions of the metal ring are: inner diameter 32mm and outer diameter 37mm. (see also amazon product description, link in video description)
The Sony ZV 1 already comes with a nd filter built-in. But in case you need to mount additional filters: the dimensions of the metal ring are: inner diameter 32mm and outer diameter 37mm. (see also amazon product description, link in video description)
I am new to this channel. Chris's explanations are crystal clear, a joy to listen to. Subscribed.

This was really helpful. Been looking how I could use filter for my Sony RX100 vii.

Great video! I’ll be buying this for my rx100 vii
Great video my friend! Keep making awesome content
Great review. To the point without too much confusing technical jargon. #chefstravels
great video. all the detail i wanted.
excellent, clear video - many thanks
Great, informative video. Thanks!
Very informative thanks to explain very well
Perfect review thank you

Thank you
No problems so far 👍🏻
Thank you.
Oh yes, great pleasure to see your video, great thanks. But I'm afraid that the weight of this filter may damage the autofocus motor ? What do you think about this risk ?
The filter and the adapter don't seem to heavy to me. I think it shouldn't be a problem.
What is greener tinge at the spot where the camera is focusing?
The green spots are from the audio levels in video mode.
Thank you !!!
Thanks. Will this work on Mark 3 version of camera?
Appreciated..
Hello mate,
Is there a specific reason why you chose 52mm?
Yes, because it's the most compact size that didn't add much to the height of the lens. So I can set down the camera with the filter attached (without knocking off the magnetic ring).
Good clear review! One question - does the vignetting occur with just the magnetic ring, or only with the adapter ring attached?
The magnetic ring is not visible in the picture. It is very thin.
@@chris_urra Thanks for your quick reply! And would I be correct in thinking the diagonal light/dark corners are a result of the variable ND?
Yes
I would not do this (and I am about to) without making sure the surface of the lens area where the metal ring goes is clean. So I will clean it first with a detergent/cleaner and make sure there is no grease or oil where the metal ring will adhere. *Then* I will position the 3M ring on the camera.

The M1 and M2 did not have integrated ND filters
Wondering if Sony couldn’t fit the ND’s inside the mark vii (with 24-200 lens) or just being cheap & saving $$$!?🤔
To get to 200mm the lens had to go deeper inside the camera leaving no room for an internal filter.
Why does your amazon link go to a 49mm filter?
It doesn't. It links to the 52mm filter. But you can switch to other sizes.
@@chris_urra Now it's showing. They must have been sold out when I looked before
That's annoying with the visible edges of the adapter ring. ND filters of less thickness would possibly be helpful. Are there any experienced users out there?
would this fit the Sony HX99?
I don't have this camera, but the dimensions of the metal ring are: inner diameter 32mm and outer diameter 37mm. (see also amazon product description, link in video description)
@@chris_urra ok thank you.
Will this work to zv 1?
The Sony ZV 1 already comes with a nd filter built-in. But in case you need to mount additional filters: the dimensions of the metal ring are: inner diameter 32mm and outer diameter 37mm. (see also amazon product description, link in video description)
I'm not gluing anything onto my cameras.
