Appreciate it! And great suggestion! I’ll see if I can do some more tests to see more differences 👍🏻

@@RoyceMyerLee Then let me make another suggestion 🤠 You can check if combining a polarizing effect with an ND filter creates an X pattern and vignetting when shooting the sky at a wide angle like 16mm.
I purchased this filter then found your video! It’s currently in the shipping phase, so I’m interested to test what you mentioned. I got it specifically for SLOG3 on my Sony and to use it for my run & gun situations. I guess I’ll report back on my findings soon! Great video. This is exactly what I was looking for, and if all doesn’t go to plan, like others, I might go with the Nisi
Looks like an awesome filter, thumbs up for the review! The flaw you mentioned is the only thing that puts me off from the 2 in 1 VND/CPL and why i decided to go with nisi swift as it can be easily stacked and removed, i assume for video centric users, a CPL would be more a specific shot as opposed to wanting the CPL on all the time then having to adjust both.
Hey Royce, cool video on the new filter! The VND/PL combo sounds super handy. Ugh, too bad my car was such a mess that weekend, it would have been perfect for some sweet b-roll with that filter Thinking about getting this for some upcoming hikes though, thanks for the review! Have you tried using any other VND/PL filters? Curious how this one compares.
Hey! Both NEEWER and K&F make an alternative combo filter as well! Unfortunately I never tried those out to tell you the differences. I think there’s probably some reviews on those tho!
This review of the VND/PL filter was informative. The variable ND being linked to the CP is a bit cumbersome for video work. Is there a way to adjust them independently, or is manual adjustment the only option?
Glad it was helpful! And yeah! Unfortunately, unless you put it on a tripod to control both independently, you’ll definitely have to manually adjust each one at a time.
This is just the kind of review I was looking for, real world use in run and gun situations. I currently have the NiSi swift kit which is fine, but I was looking at this because of the combined filters. I was going to keep it on another lens so it's less filter swapping, rather than a total VND system replacement. But since I do mostly run and gun, based on your advice I'm going to hold off on this product. Perhaps wait for a second edition. Thanks for this video! Oh one other thing I want to mention, on my NiSi I can dial the ND to 1 which is useful because I use that for when I take photos, so I don't have to remove the filter when I switch between photo and video. They seem to be the only VND that does this. It's what keeps me from switching to any other filter system.
Ayy thanks for watching! Glad I could help! And that filter sounds solid! Might need to get me one of those to try out! Appreciate the recommendation 🤘🏻
How does this look shooting car interior displays? I generally get such awful rainbow effects whenever a PL is on my camera shooting interiors, I noticed rainbow effect in the headlights, how about digital screens?
So I just tested the filter on my car interior display just now. Fortunately, I don’t get that rainbow effect on my car interior display. Unfortunately though, my interior display is on the older side (10 years old) which isn’t like the touch screens available in newer model cars which have much brighter and cleaner screens. So I’m not sure how it holds up with those types of displays in newer model cars. However, I also just tested it on my computer desktop monitors (gaming monitor and a color accurate monitor) and it displays pretty well without any rainbow effect! But to test it a bit further, I tested the filter on a MacBook Air Retina display with a white background, and even though it doesn’t display that rainbow effect, it’s goes from this blue color to an orange shade. Not sure why that happens to be honest but I thought this might additional test might semi-emulate what the newer model cars have.. Hope all my additional tests help answer your question!
Is there a way to keep the PL off if not wanting to use it and just use the VND? I’ll mostly use for photo but slowly getting into video more. Trying to make a decision between a VND vs the PL + VND is super hard rn!
Yup! You can turn off the PL and use the VND. Just letting you know the PL doesn’t “lock” into place like the VND does. So you can technically turn the PL feature on by accident. Personally speaking, since you’re mainly photo use, I’d say the PL + VND is a solid choice and the one to pick. I think you’ll get more use out of its quality than someone like me who mainly wanted to use it for video.
If you got this chroma maglock version, then unfortunately, you can’t screw anything additional on. You would need to stay within the maglock system to stack.
good review man. i bought these about a week ago, i only shoot video, and used these on a shoot last weekend - and you are spot on with this review. The image quality is really good, and the cpl is actually super handy, butttttt that fin-dangling with the design is a pain. I was using a gimbal and had to put it on the ground every time I wanted to adjust the nd. That said, I’m planning to stick with this, because of the excellent image quality, and, we’ll see if that comes back to bite me 😜
Well I wouldn’t say that, it definitely does work well for video! I have the A7SIII, and the quality that comes out is superb! But if you’re in a run and gun situation like your lighting changes all the time (i.e. the sun comes out and then it’s gets cloudy and then it’s sunny again), then using the filter in my opinion gets rather difficult to use cuz you have to adjust the VND functionality many times. If you’re in a controlled environment (i.e. consistent and constant lighting) or you know it’s constantly going to be one condition all the time (i.e. always cloudy or full sunshine), I would say that the filter is pretty solid and very ideal for those situations. All in all, adjusting the VND part of the filter is a pain in my opinion lol
@@RoyceMyerLee this is my first time buying one of these and I’m still new to my camera, however I also read these need some type of magnet? I have a 1.4 F 35mm GM I would like to use this on for video mostly and some pictures at times as the sun gets overwhelming at times on the ISO. What would you recommend and thank you for replying
@@JJ.StayFit yeah, you would need the adapter plates to use the magnetic functionality on your lenses. Which you’d also have to dish out more money for..the magnetic plates in the long run is pretty convenient if you plan on getting more lenses. But that depends on your and your wallet lol Personally, I would honestly recommend in getting the regular VND from PolarPro (or honestly any company like K&F from Amazon). Thats where I started and I used it for everything. I just got the new system since I have multiple lenses now and changing it out from one to another slows my workflow. But getting the threaded one from PolarPro to put your lens is so much cheaper and honestly you could probably get it even more cheaper used. All in all, a VND would 100% solve your problem when the sun gets very overwhelming. In my opinion, a VND with a 2-5 stop is more practical from your explanation. Hope that helps!
@@RoyceMyerLee thank you so much for the info, and I apologize if I’m over asking so many questions. At this time, money isn’t so much of an issue, just trying to buy the appropriate things as I’m in south Florida it’s sunny here and 1.4fe is a pain in the sun, however I would like to purchase this new set just, wanted to know what is all I need to purchase to have it right, as I’m seeing on their website they have these threaded vs not, and not a lot of people are talking about this subject
@@JJ.StayFit well if money isn’t a problem, it’s only preference and flexibility at this point of whether you want threaded or the maglock system. At the end of the day, if you’re constantly outside like I am, personally, I don’t recommend this filter. And since money ain’t an issue, I would just get the regular VND in the maglock version so later you can use it for other lenses for the future if you buy additional base plates. Not sure how piercing the sun may be in Florida on the day to day, but if it’s always sunny, maybe the 6-9 stop would be smart to try as well.
Man, why do you sound so fake you said "basically what the polarpro did combining 2 filters" you should be saying basically they copy cat other brands out there & put peter name to scam others.

Thanks man -- surprisingly hard to find anyone talking about this. I do a ton of run&gun video, ease (time) to adjust is everything to me.
Anytime! Glad I could help! And yeah it’s surprising weird that no one is talking about the frustrations of the filter lol
Great video, my friend. But I would have loved to see the color shift test as well.
Appreciate it! And great suggestion! I’ll see if I can do some more tests to see more differences 👍🏻
@@RoyceMyerLee Then let me make another suggestion 🤠 You can check if combining a polarizing effect with an ND filter creates an X pattern and vignetting when shooting the sky at a wide angle like 16mm.
Glad I have the normal vnd and just got the shortstache everyday filter so I can stack them together with the maglock
Oo I have the everyday filter for my x100v but I’d love to see how that helix combo works out for my mirrorless cameras too!
Do you see any vignetting with stacking the vnd and everyday filter? I was considering doing the same.

And I haven’t tried other filters yet but I hear the K&F filter is pretty solid too !
Sounds good dude! Looking forward to it. And thanks for the K&F tip, I'll have to check those out!
Is there an alternative filter that combines both VND and PL?

can you still screw in a additional mist filter if wanted ?
