Product Description
Can a variable ND filter also function as a polarizer filter?
Despite being composed of two polarizer filters, variable ND filters do not have any polarizing effect. When two pieces of glass are used in a variable ND filter, they work to limit the amount of light that reaches the camera sensor.
Can a lens hood with a variable ND filter be used?
VND filters cannot be used with a lens hood because they are typically larger than regular ND filters, designed to reduce vignetting.
Are there front threads on this VND?
VND filters do not have front threads, and stacking them with other filters is not recommended as it may result in vignetting.
Can these Freewell Threaded VND filters be attached magnetically?
The Freewell Threaded VND filters are not magnetic. They are threaded filters, as indicated on the product listing. Therefore, these VND filters must be used with threads only.
Difference between VND & VNDXMIST?
The main difference between a VND (Variable ND) filter and a VNDXMIST (Variable ND with Mist) filter is that the latter has an additional layer of mist that creates a soft and dreamy effect in your footage or photos.

Para mí, el mejor filtro ND en relación costo beneficio, nada que envidiarle a los Polar pro
I did a lot of my own testing for videos and photos using my Sony A7iii with the Tamron 28-70 F2.8 lens. All photos and video shot at f2.8 (that's the point of having an ND) at the widest setting: 28mm. Photos inside at stops 4 and 5 had this cross polarization as well.
However, when I switched to video, filming outdoors and indoors at 60fps, shutter 1/120 and 30fps, shutter 1/60, there was much less cross polarization. I am primarily a videographer, so it was a breath of fresh air to see most of the vignetting gone when doing video. I'm not really sure why this is, but it's great. There is still some vignetting in video, but at that point when filming outdoors, I had cranked my ISO up to 1,250, which is something I would never do.
Overall, I say definitely buy for video- This VND will save you so much time, and my professional production projects are always time-sensitive. For photos, I would not use this beyond 3 stops, which is not bad considering the price and ease. Or maybe you could use at stops 4 and 5 if you zoom in a lot. Please note that all Variable ND filters will cross polarize, so spending more money on another one will not necessarily get you better results. The four stars is more of a knock agains VNDs, not so much against Freewell, although Freewell does advertise this VND not cross polarizing. I own other Freewell NDs for my drones and they are awesome.

There is no X pattern, no vignetting and no color cast too strong to be able to fix. On the 2-5 stop filter, the image will look a little warmer than usual but it is very pleasing, it won't ruin your image and can be easily fixed if that's what you want. The 6-9 stop is the same but makes the image a bit cooler in my experience. Nothing negative, and easy to fix.
Don't get more expensive models, these are the real deal. Get the Freewell, you won't be disappointed.
