When you turn off the OP3 with 1 filter on (Freewell brand); does not allow to close to original off position. Some people may not be bothered by this i’m certain. Other brands are thinner and allow to get back to off position with 1 filter on.
Very nice! I honestly wouldn't have guessed the filters were stackable! I have the Black Mist DJI filter and never used it, but wanted a lens protector. Everythng I read said you cannot do both, so I set off to see why I'd need a lens. This videos gave me a great run down!
Just found your channel with this video and it's fantastic, New Subscriber. I'm in the middle of considering getting the Pocket 3, thanks for the in-depth review.
Thanks for the video. I may consider this set if it ever goes on sale. I picked up a cheaper set of ND filters for the time being, since I knew that's what I would be using for most of my videos. It would've been nice to have a circular polizer in my last video, as I was trying to film the fish in my pond and I couldn't see them due to the reflections in the pond!
Thanks for the feedback and I am so pleased you did go for them. They are so good and the footage looks so, so good when you stick to manual shutter and ISO settings over auto..
I am amazed that I would even consider another purchase but I am considering getting a DJI Osmo with these filters. Right now I'm using (and generally happy) a Sony ZV-1, Feiyutech G6Max gimbal and wreless (or shotgun) mic for the types of scenes I would use an Osmo 3 for. The Osmo 3 would be far more convenient and eliminate setting up a gimbal and 3rd party microphone. I also use ND's and / or Black Mist filter on the ZV-1, so the Freewell filters would be a perfect replacement. I probably won't do it as I can get results with what I have, but I am sure tempted!
the size factor is unavoidable. That is literally unbeatable. Next week I am filming Pocket 3 vs gimbal and camera/ phone so if you can wait until that video is out... But the P3 is very, very good... And the ND filters are the icing on the cake!
@@SamuelSotiega I guess there isnt really an audience for a whole video on this subject, maybe you could talk about it during a future video about the pocket3
Some filters you can. Not all. You can ND and Smist(promist) and LPR (light pollution) and Promist. That’s all. But you can’t really use them stacking any of them onto the DJI wide angle. It doesn’t quite work. Hopefully freewell will come up with lenses for it that you can use filters with…
@@SamuelSotiega thanks. I’m assuming they weren’t. I’ve since learned that pocket 3 maxes out at 1 second exposure, so seems unlikely you could get those kind of trails with a 1 second exposure, but if so please let me know.
Thanks Samuel! I bought the "Bright day" Freewell kit (only 4 polarised ND filters) for my dear Pocket 3 and I will see if I use it... :) This pocket 3is the best camera ever for me, I sold all my cameras! Do you think we could have one day a zoom lens, for example to have a 35mm or 50mm ? Do you think it's possible? Cheers from France. Michael
I don't know about a zoom lens but I suggested to Freewell a telephoto lens when they release their wide angle, and they didn't say no, so, you never know. A telephoto lens to give anywhere between a 50-75mm focal length would be mega.... time will tell...
@@SamuelSotiega Yes I mean a telephoto of course, a zoom would be to heavy for little motors of the pocket 3 I think... Crossing fingers, if I had a telephoto, I never personnaly would need another camera , nor for my business (just an action cam for the sport) :) Thanks ! ;)
32ND for cloudy days, ND64 for sunny days. Summer sunny days will probably need a ND128 as the sun is brighter… sunrise/sunset or early morning is ND8 or ND16. It all depends on what you do, hard to say as I film at all times of the day…
hello, the mega pack is very expensive, is it realy necessary to buy that? i will be going for a beach holiday which will be very bright and sunny what do you recommend me to get?
They have a set filters that include just the straight ND, and for most people and most situations, that’s all you need really. Actually, skyreat makes a set that includes the 128ND, which I think it is a must for bright sunny days, and you are going to the beach… www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CLXT38SG/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_MB9PWHDD1E5QZE3H6QAV?linkCode=ml2&tag=geartek-21
They stay on the camera but the camera does not roll in the same way as when without filter. It does stay with the filter down, which you can then put in the P3 case. That is how I carry them around, because a lot of the times, you use let's say a ND64, that might be the filter you use for hours so I just turn off, and put in the P3 case. The magnets are strong and the filter won't fall off... I hope this helps...
@@SamuelSotiega :) There is no zebras..not eben a histogram on this camera.. This is a point and shoot vlog camera and very good at it.. But you can't judge your exposure on that tiny screen. Nobody really needs motion blur for YT videos. If you are doing pro work..then you must already buy a pro camera and then only you may consider ND filters.. But not for that tiny thing. I can understand the gimmick.. But for vlog no real motion.. no need for the motion blur.. and the camera exposes perfectly fine in auto mode.. no need to go to manual mode.. it is killing the purpose of that camera IMO. Sorry.. ..And is this place docklands... I am close to canary wharf London.. it looks like we are close :)
@erkkocak I agree with you that it would be great to have a histogram at the very least. You do get it if you use the liko app and your smartphone, which will give you a larger screen, which helps with judging exposure, although it defeats the purpose of the camera a bit. They should include it on the camera without the need of the mimo app and phone. Your view on ND filters is opposite to mine. I hate when I see a blog with a shutter speed through the roof, but this is a very subjective opinion and there will be a lot of people who will have a different taste or preference. I prefer to keep my shutter at 1/50 and what I do sometimes is set an auto ISO range, which helps when vlogging. This is a great vlogging camera, but it ain’t an Alexa or Red camera. It is not intended so that should be clear from the outset, I would imagine…

A complete and thorough review. Personally I would be interested in the cpl/nd only. Thanks for showing us the difference and explaining the uses.
Glad you found it helpful!

Thanks for the feedback! I have a couple or 3 other videos on the pocket 3 that I think you will find very helpful. Welcome to the club!!

I use them a lot and they work superb… and yes, for water and glass reflections, the CPL or NDPL are fantastic
Thank you for such a comprehensive review. I had already ordered the ND pack and looking forward to using them when they arrive,

Thx…..you answered a question I had - if you could stack the filters

Maybe you can do a video about the difference between black mist filter and snow mist filter?
Do you think there is an audience? I think a video like this would bring a great video to do for when I create my members platform….
@@SamuelSotiega I guess there isnt really an audience for a whole video on this subject, maybe you could talk about it during a future video about the pocket3
I just bought mine set. Thanks for this video!
Hope you enjoy it! You'll get some stunning footage, I am sure!
Albert Bridge!!!❤
One of the nicest bridges in London!
You don't mention it but I assume you are filming in manual mode so you can set shutter speed to double your frame rate.
That is correct. NDs allow you to do that and I always use NDs, as long as I have them! To me, they make such a massive difference….
@@SamuelSotiega I just got the Freewell set of 4 ND/PL filters and am looking forward to trying them out. I really enjoyed your video.
Can you stack the filters?

Thanks for the thorough review. Question, were those astral night sky Timelapse’s taken with the pocket 3? Those were beautiful!
I will have to ask the person who helped me edit this video. It was one task/ responsibility he was in charge of… chase me back in a few days!
@@SamuelSotiega thanks. I’m assuming they weren’t. I’ve since learned that pocket 3 maxes out at 1 second exposure, so seems unlikely you could get those kind of trails with a 1 second exposure, but if so please let me know.
I would like to know if you think that NDPL filters are a valid product, or if they work better individually... regardless of any brand
What do you mean by a valid product?
@@SamuelSotiega I know ND filters and I know CPL filters... I've always wondered if they work well in the single NDPL solution
make filters great again
Indeed!!! I hope they soon release lenses that can be used with filters and that will be really cool for this little camera...

0:47 - still choppy, only darker
The image was not graded, hence the darker look, but you should be able to see and notice the motion blur. At least I do…

Hi ...Can you use the ND filters on the DJI Wide angle Lens ? ....regards Barrint !!
Unfortunately, no. Hopefully freewell comes up soon with their own lenses that you can use the filters with…
Hey Samuel, are the Freewell filters “ thin” enough to allow them to stay on the camera while in the off or “ parked” position?
They stay on the camera but the camera does not roll in the same way as when without filter. It does stay with the filter down, which you can then put in the P3 case. That is how I carry them around, because a lot of the times, you use let's say a ND64, that might be the filter you use for hours so I just turn off, and put in the P3 case. The magnets are strong and the filter won't fall off... I hope this helps...
Thanks for clarifying!
Any sellers shipping to contiguous USA states without a significant wait time?
I don't know as I am based in the UK. Doesn't amazon do that? I left links in the video description...
We ship worldwide no wait time they are in stock.
