Do you need CPL Filters on a drone, camera or phone - Find out in this video review & Test of CPL ND FILTERS

Hi Hitmax, Thank you for the video. I have been using CPL with ND filters when filming shiny surfaces, such as the ocean, rivers, water. Unfortunately some brands of CPL do not come with ND combined. I guess those can be used for photo , but for video they seem useless for day time filming. I have not watched your video yet as I am at work right now. Take care, Mike.

Hi Mike - Thanks for dropping a line - these do make a difference but it may not be enough for you - I use to always use Polar Pro however I find the Freewell ones work just as good if not better and dont cost as much as the Polar Pro ones. I don't mind paying extra for better quality ones but if there is no difference then there is no point - take care cheers Hieth

Got you, thank you Hieth.

Best Regards, Michael.

Very nicely done Hieth.    Your video really points out the difference in using a CPL filter.  I tend to always use them when flying around water on bright days.

Thanks buddy - I do the same in fact they stay on the drone and just come off if I am not near water which isn't that often !

Thank you glad you likes it !

My pleasure.
I still have to get some for my DSLR, but with all the various lenses that will get expensive quickly.
