I agree with you totally that the filters are very difficult to adjust. I also noticed some colour changes in the sky. That is just the opinion of an amateur. So I bought some fixed K&F ND filters and am very happy with them. . Outside I mainly use the ND32. I find it to be a good all rounder.
buoght everything coz surely there are some cases where you'll use VND like stop n go recording or traveling.... For serious videos like you have all the time in the world I'd go fix ND all the time... Just curious though you got the ND32 or not the NDPL 32?
I agree with your analysis! Adjusting the VND filters can be quite challenging. I also noticed some color shifts in the sky. That's why I decided to return them and got the fixed Neewer ND filters instead. I'm looking forward to trying them out. Thanks for sharing your experience with the K&F Concept VND filters set!
Thanks for the review. I’m 66 with builders fingers. So I’ll be adjusting it somewhere handy and let auto iso sort it out. Or dial in exposure comp. I just bought the stronger of the two with the mist filter. Used from eBay. If I don’t get on with it , or don’t like it, I’ll get the fixed nd’s. Which I would prefer. But the used price was a no brainer.
Great video. It looks like there are issues at the 9-stop with an x-pattern emerging as well. I would say it's great up to 8-stops but 9 is not usable. I would only use the full 9-stops in a timelapse type of scenario anyway and I'd probably buy a dedicated filter for that if needed. They are harder to get off of the gimbal though. I have just enough fingernail to get them off fairly easily and to adjust but that is a good point about those who may have issues with that or eyesight, although I don't personally find them any more difficult to see than some of the settings on that tiny osmo pocket screen. I'm 48 and am nearsighted and have to pull my glasses up a lot to see things up close so I get it. If found out they are also stackable with the K&F black diffusion filter. With that setup, the gimbal will not close so it works like the other filters. They're difficult to separate once you stack them though.
I tried these out but the color shift is quite bad compared to other VND filters. It’s nit great on many for the Osmo Pocket 3 in General, that I just use Solid NDs instead of variable ones.
Hadn’t noticed color shift but turning (and reading) level of VND was impossible for me. I, too, prefer the fixed ND’s. Thanks for sharing and watching.
Sorry, I stopped using the K&F variable ND’s, because I found them too difficult to read/adjust the stops. I really enjoy the Polar Pro Vivid ND collection which offers a ND8, ND32 and ND128 - these are fixed ND’s. I find the Polar Pro Vivid and the K&F fixed ND’s (8/16/32/64) all fit well with no movement. Thank you for watching.
Both are top quality! The design of the ND’s (fixed vs. variable), thickness, ease of handling and gimbal shutdown are the differences. Also, note the K&F are stackable while the Polar Pro are not. I use the Polar Pro Vivid collection daily and they are great. As I mentioned in the video, I just found the K&F more different to handle and work with. Hope that helps. Thanks for I watching.

From one amateur to another, I agree! Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts.
With all nd filters you need to adjust your while balance

Pablo, thanks for watching. Glad it was of value.
This is the information a lot of New P3 need. Great info. So an 5 stop is an ND 32
Thanks for your kind words Phil. Yes, a 5 stop is an ND32. You’re the one that inspired me to check these K&F ND’s out!
Thank you for the informative video! I was very impressed by your delivery :)
Thank you. Steven, that means a lot.

I love my K&F VND’s.
Something for you to try. The new Freewell wide angle lens and anamorphic will stack on top of the K&F.
Great VND’s, I just have fat fingers and bad vision. Lol. Thanks for the suggestion on the wide and anamorphic offerings.

I agree with the 9 stop. I forgot to mention they are stackable.
Wish my eyes were better and nails were longer. Lol.

Hi , do you find your nd filter really loose and move slightly within filter frame with zero resistance while changing stops?
Sorry, I stopped using the K&F variable ND’s, because I found them too difficult to read/adjust the stops. I really enjoy the Polar Pro Vivid ND collection which offers a ND8, ND32 and ND128 - these are fixed ND’s.

My pleasure!
Hi Mark. Between PolarPro & K&F, which one is better in term of video quality? I would love to see the side-by-side comparison.
Both are top quality! The design of the ND’s (fixed vs. variable), thickness, ease of handling and gimbal shutdown are the differences. Also, note the K&F are stackable while the Polar Pro are not. I use the Polar Pro Vivid collection daily and they are great. As I mentioned in the video, I just found the K&F more different to handle and work with. Hope that helps. Thanks for I watching.
Hey, what’s with that snazzy blue background. It looks great. Did you see someone else who has a similar background?😮
Just trying to dress things up a little. Playing catch up a lot. Lol
Is it stackable?
Yes, The K&F VND’s are stackable.
Thanks
