Not sure how long I’ve head these, close to a year, I think. They are fantastic for my video work. When shooting lower budget business promos or mini documentaries outside, I almost always have one of these ND filters on.
It really cuts the low HDR on my lowest priced camera package. I do a lot of videos for Fly Fishing guides and have an ND filter of the quality and variability makes me feel like I have a lot more control.
I normally am running Canons from 70D on the low end of my package deals.
As far as video quality goes, I can’t notice that the filter was on in post, except that I have a shallow depth of field and my highlights aren’t blown out.

I took some long exposure photos of waterfalls in the middle of the afternoon and got beautiful results. I'm no professional, but to me, there was no noticeable color cast. I love it, and I'm going to order one that will fit my other lens, too.

Product accurately described by the seller and got exactly what I paid for. Works very well.

This thing works great. Smooth adjustment, solid build. Color looks just right. Cheaper than some of the competition. Can really control light coming in without switching settings around in camera, so you can play with some outdoor 1.2 aperture or just fast for run and gun. Heres a trick, get a larger one and some step down rings so one filter will fit multiple lenses. ;)

Great value for the money and the varying the nd filter works perfectly. The top 2 notches of the nd filter creates an x across the picture (which other users have already noted). But there’s rarely ever you’ll need to use those top 2 notches so it’s fine as it is if you’re okay to use it not past the certain point.

You can’t do much better for this price! There are some X artifacts at the darkest setting but other than that this is a fantastic value for a variable ND. Using this on my sigma 16mm on an a6400

Filter is ease to use, packaging is good, It has some cross defect when you go beyond the max limit and on a wide angle, which is very common in this range of filter. If you can use it judiciously its a good choice

I'm a pro photographer and videographer, and I bought this primarily for video so I can shoot wide open in broad daylight.The built quality is FANTASTIC. It takes some force to change the dial which I like, because it won't change move on you when you don't want it to.I don't notice a difference in image quality whatsoever. Using it on the Tamron 28-75 2.8 on the Sony A7iii.Con: the lens hood isn't an option because of the bulkiness of the ring at the end of the lens. If you want to use a lens hood you'll probably have to go with a fixed ND.Overall, I'm blown away that a product can cost so little and I have so many stops of ND to work with at such high quality. Unreal. Great job guys on the development of this product.

Here in Arizona we have 320 sunny days a year. The sun is bright and intense. A ND filter is pretty much a must if you want control over the quality of the video you are shooting. This particular variable ND filter works well on my Fuji X-T4. It allows me to set my lens at f4 and keep the exposure perfect. Setting the lens at f4 means it will be in the sharpness sweet zone, thereby producing great video. It is a great ND filter for the money spent.
