I can't find much example footage of these variable ND filters for Osmo Pocket (1 or 2).
It feels like a good (handy) way of working with ND filters (compared to having to carry 8 separate ones)
But I'm curious how they affect image quality.

Me and a friend of mine both tried them and unfortunately they affect the corners of the image.  We returned them.

I'm waiting to try the Pgytech variable ND which is is larger.

Here's an shot with the freeweell variable nd.  You can see the greyish color in the top right corner

Was this with pocket 2?

Thanks for the info.
Was suspect this would happen with previous Pocket 1 VND.

Yes, pocket 2.  

Hello there Montfrooij. Thank you for reaching out and for the inquiry. I hope that you can get the best information from the experiences of our fellow DJI members who uses the said ND Filers on there DJI Osmo Pocket and DJI Pocket 2. Thank you.

Seems logical indeed with the wider field of view!

Thanks man.
So I have to wait for Pocket 2 var ND filters then

This forum has (once again) been very helpful!

I use the freewheel VND on the Mavic 2 Pro and overall have been very happy with them.

I think the problem with this one comes from the wider field of view the P2 has compared to P1 and the fact these filters were not designed for this kind of angles.

Not personally

I am considering it for the P2, since it is more easy than swapping filters.

Perhaps contact freewell and ask if they have any plans for the P2 version.

I have one for my DSLR and it works great.
Only at the extreme ends I get some weird vignetting.

When I have a P2, I will!

Have you ordered one yet?

Have you ordered one yet?

Not yet.
Waiting for the BF banner to see what discounts there might be.
Should appear around the 20th or so.

Not that I'm expecting big discounts for these new products, but hey..... One can wish right ?

I use the Skyreat ones and there fine they make a lot of sense also you will save money and have a lot less bits to carry around.

Freewell has always been good for me, but as stated above, it seems the is a bad tint.

I thought they only did that discount in the USA on this site.

You can definitely wish for it.

Thanks for the tip.
How do they handle the wider angle of P2?

Unfortunately.
Time will tell

I remember we did have some BF deals last year, but I was not interested so don't remember any details.

Probably because the Pocket 2 has a wider field of view.
The filter was originally made for pocket 1

Fingers crossed there will be something.

I dont recall the details either,  I wonder if you could search the forum for the announcement.

We'll see what the manufacturers do.

I only got it last week, they seem ok and working fine, but I need to get some more footage to have a closer look.

Curious how they affect the IQ

Personally, my set of them does not make me happy that I spend the money, which is a pity, I see quite a few good reviews, so mine could just be a bad copy.
IQ does suffer quite a lot, but I am also a pixel peeper.
