Hmm nice, But I noticed that your shutter speed is set to 1/120, while the frame rate is 24. I was expecting to see a discussion on the 180-degree rule, which recommends setting the double number of shutter speed of the frame rate.
Hey thanks for watching. Yes, to get the correct motion blur, the 180° shutter rule of 1/50 or double the frame rate would be better. This ND filter kit only goes up to ND32. Not strong enough to slow down my shutter to 1/50. So, to get the correct exposure, I had to crank it up to 1/120 or increase my frame rate to 60fps. I mentioned this at the end of the video. In my opinion, the motion blur is still acceptable at 1/120 shutter. In bright sunny day this filter kit definitely falls short of an ND64.
Didn't realize until the end you were using 1/120 however there is still a noticeable difference in the shots. I have the Freewell all-day set and I haven't played with them that much but thanks for inspiring me to do so. I also now know that even if I'm setting it to auto, there will be a difference as the shutter speed reduces even if it's not all the way down to fulfil the 180 rule. Thanks!
Hey, thank you for your comment! Yes, to my untrained eye, there is not much of a difference riding the shutter a bit faster. I will however buy a ND64 to use on the super sunny days. Freewell has such wide collection and I might just grab a single.
@@Squidpaws- the freewell's are extremely strong magnets. Almost too strong. The advantage is that you can stack them and they won't inadvertently end up allowing the gimbal to close like The the k&f concepts black mist filter I have. The con is that they are tough to get off LOL.
@timbrowntown thanks for the helpful info. These Tiffen filters can be stacked as well, but I noticed some vignetting in the corners when stacked. I'll definitely use it if I'm going for that creative look
My Pocket 3 settings will mostly be in auto mode so I don't think I'll need ND filters. The only settings I manually adjusted are EV, noise, and sharpness which are lowered. Sometimes ISO as well.
I completely agree. I also mostly shoot in auto shutter, with my iso at 50-800. I still use my ND's though, the OP3 then slows down the shutter to at least get some acceptable motion blur. To shoot in complete manual mode with the OP3 doesn't make sense for it's use case, unless the lighting won't chance. Thanks for watching 🙏
Yes, to be honest, this filter kit should have been a 16-32-64. I use the ND8 very seldom, and when I do use it then I have my setting on auto shutter and ISO to make sure I don't blow out the highlights. The ND8 does come in handy if you want to slow down your shutter speed to 1 second for a timelapse in a low light situation, getting you that creamy motion blur. This is very specific though so I'm with you, you can get by without it...

insightful... and channel is rising, please continue
Thank you my friend, appreciate it...
Another well put together and informative video. Thanks for shraring your knowledge as always. Much love!
Thanks Patrick brah.
Happy to hear that the video provided some value. Take care and sending you good vibes.
@@Squidpaws- Shandies boet , likewise!
The reason for ND filters is to use manual exposure settings, regardless of what you need the manual settings for.
This is correct yes!
Thank you very much !
I appreciate your comment and am happy if you find the video helpful.
@@Squidpaws- not only is your video very useful, but your editing is really very PRO !
@jeanclaudecosse7480 This means alot thank you so much 🙏
After viewing the video, I just cancel my ND8 filter order since it is useless for me.
