OK so I like to film in bright daylight, so which filter should I get?

Great info msinger.

I use a 16 however a 32 would better suit me on sunny snow days.

 

[NepenthesLucas]

Thanks I will need a 16

Most of us are looking for this kind of info. Thanks msinger.

You're welcome. I found it on Polar Pro's website (FYI).

I have a lot of filters. My favorite are the DJI and Polar Pro filters.

Thanks for the info above.

Now the question is, what brand to go for!

- DJI brand ND4/8/16 (filter replacement. Glass)
- Snake River Prototyping (slip on. Glass)
- Taco Rc (filter replacement. Glass?)
- Polar pro (filter replacement. Glass)
- Phantomfilters.com (plastic insert from what I can gather. Lightweight. Not sure if it's as good as glass?)

The last one is a "gel" filter. It's a thin, flexible plastic lens. Ditzer Photo makes those too.

Finding is ok but sharing with others is GREAT.

I love my Polar Pro cinematic series and they have 15% offer. It's really bright in Western Australia I use 8pl for photos on RE and 16pl for video. Msinger I've heard the DJI is quite good too

I have the Taco Rc set. They work nicely ..

I admit I don't have anything to compare them to.. They work.

I have them on my wish list, waiting for them to get in stock. Soon hopefully.

Make sure to get the coated set. They reduce glare. Like I said. They work really well.

Neweer do an ND fader - 1 lens and just rotate to make it as dark as you like, through all of the options.

They are hard to remove. I actually ended up using a leatherman to gently remove mine the first time.
Possibly wrap a rubber band or use some protective coating. Do not SQUEEZE it's more about twist, you don't want to crush housing/lens.

Disclaimer....do at your own peril, I did and it worked fine, Your Mileage May Vary(YMMV)
