    Mate, this is the first time I've come away from an ND filter tutorial feeling satisfied. You took the time to literally sit down and show what works, and what does not.
    Thank you. 🙏

    Your Nd Filter trick for finding the right one for shutter speed is pure genius and if anyone disagrees. Ive seen over 100 videos through the years and no one has ever done this. I was getting upset because I have so many nd filters for all of my cameras but now I feel more confident getting a baseline with them. Thank you so much

    Very useful video that sums everything up that you need to know about ND-filter, especially useful was your "ND-filter calculation". First part of the video we have seen others cover countless times, about motion blur and all that, but actually getting the right ND can sometimes be tricky. I always do trial and error, but thanks to Mats I now feel less stupid and can get it right from the start! ;-) Bravo! May I suggest chapters in the video so you can go directly to the parts that feels relevant? (I correct myself - there are time stamps in the description)

    Thanks for making these, I'm really surprised they don't get more views.
    Maybe it's just me but I'm not totally convinced it's actually better with the ND filters, especially the water, the unfiltered shots look more detailed and more like real life to me. I can understand the case for motion blur for some things, like a hand moving too quickly back and forth or a propeller spinning but for other situations it feels kind of unnatural, sometimes even a bit annoying. Like when the drone is moving quickly past an object, wouldn't your eyes just be able to track that in real life? Unless it was in your peripheral, you'd see it in pretty much perfect detail as long as it wasn't moving crazy fast

    I understand ND filters but when you did the test on the ground, the amount of light was constant.
    When you take a drone up then the amount of light will change as you turn the drone , soeme y be lighter or some darker.

      I agree, maybe ok for the still shot but for drone video ND filters are a waist of money. I never put anything in front of a camera lens, just degrades the IQ. I’m afraid MK has been dragged into the Freewell con. Saying that @MK - Creator vids are excellent 👌

    What if you use an ND filter in AUTO mode? Will it bring better quality over AUTO mode without ND? Is there a point in using ND filter in AUTO mode?

    • @MK-Creator
      @MK-Creator  10 місяців тому +1

      It definitely work in auto. It’s the same practice and I think I even showed you how it can work in auto where the variables are changing automatically depending on what filter you put on the lens. It’s all about keeping the shutter speed where you want it to be to get the video feeling that you want to have.

      I’m definitely not dragged down into any…
      For the artistic look it’s a must for many stills.
      For videos it’s definitely a more nice to have than need to have. I have used ND for video mostly when I do real estate videos and I really want to make sure my shutter speed stays where it should be.
      Thanks again! :)
