For some reason, TH-cams algorithm decided to start putting smartphone filming vids in my feed. I am now in the rabbit hole. Just ordered one of these to use with an iPhone 6S. Getting better results every time I film. A variable ND filter is a definite must-own piece of gear.
Absolutely fantastic review! Spent the last month and a bit learning the basics of camera settings both on DSLR and smartphone. I was looking to buy this and you have cemented my opinion on it. Thank you!
Thanks Joseph! If you watch my 2021 Moment app review you can see more footage I shot with it. It's the part with the guy walking over the wooden bridge.
Better than most of the youtubers.. Calm and relaxed.. No fake stuff etc. Thanks for the video. I have a question.. Do you recommend it for the price? Are there any other 37 mm filters with holders which you can suggest?
Well put together summary David- however this clip is only for phones with one lens. what do you recommend for the iPhone 11 to 13 that has 3 lenses in a square box config ?
David you have a great videos and it is very interesting to watch you. I just ordered this filter. Please tel me = does it fits my iPhone 11? I have two cameras. Not one. Will it scratch my second lenses if I fit it in iPhone 11? And please tell me - is it possible to fit nd filter on Ulanzi 65mm? Or I should by apexel tele or moment? Thanks a lot for your information and support! God bless you.
Just ordered this for my S21 Ultra as I really want to start playing with long exposure and getting the most out of the camera...just hope it fits the camera bump 🤣
Bro tengo una duda porque mi celular tiene 3 camaras y es en forma rectangular , me puedes decir si el filtro debe ser grande para tapar las 3 camaras o solo necesita tapar 1 la principal?
Hi there. An old video I know...still relevant. I want to try a clip on ND filter for my 15pro max. I don't want to buy a new case or invest in expensive filters. This is only 37mm so it means it will not cover ALL 3 lenses on the iphone at the same time but I guess you just relocated to cover the lens in operation? are there any similar (and also budget friendly) items like this? Neewer only has a 37mm... I already have tons of variable NDs from 52mm, 55mm, 67mm etc..I do worry about the clip on puting to much pressure on the screen of my shinny 15pro max...Thanks
Hi buddy. Great stuff. I am trying to use it on my Samsung S20+. Let's assume I want to take a long exposure. What are the technical aspects? Is this the flow? 1. Set camera up. 2. Frame scene. 3. Set ISO as low as possible. 4. Get focus sorted etc. 5. Add filter and adjust ND until exposure is correct? What about really long exposure photography where you cannot see the image after adding the filter? Then adjusting shutter is not going to show you anything. There must be another way.
What are the benefits of a 17mm to 52mm adapter over using a 37mm? My current setup is with a 52mm adapter but I'm considering swapping to 37mm because the Ulanzi telephoto doesn't have a thread.
I thought your lens of choice was the ulanzi 65mm ? But nonetheless, now we know the apexel Tele lens can take 37mm filters.😁, great review x unboxing 👌🏾
Lymm Damn and the Bridgewater Canal at Sale, hah! Recognise these locations having lived in Urmston from birth and then Sale for 30 years before moving to the Canaries, small world! Also, like Neewer stuff and may consider this, having a need for an ND filter for my iphone 👍
@@David_Addison Fuerteventura, 3 years ago, best thing we ever did. Photography is my passion but getting into videography, lots of seascape and water sports here 👍 I guess you live in Sale? We lived at Tiverton Avenue, we walked our dog on the canal most days!
@@David_Addison Gonna subscribe to your channel David, was inspired! Also brought back many childhood memories of spending many a happy hour at Lymm fishing. I guess you’ve been into Lymm village at the small lake/pond there? I’m sure that you would agree that the village and the water there lends itself to, potentially, further awesome shots! I see you use Sony, I have an A9 along with several GM lenses and I also am beginning to use an iphone and dji gimbal for video.
Ahh nice. I bet you’re spoiled for choice with locations. Yes, I spend a lot of time in Lymm and areas like Worsley and Salford Quays but as much as I appreciate the U.K. one of the reasons I started my channel is because I can work anywhere in the world. If it wasn’t for restrictions I’d have presented a video from Palma De Mallorca by now! 😆
Hi, lovely video.. It seems the 37mm neewer nd filter is worth the price..I am also searching for a variable ND filter for my mobile..May I know if it will work with the iPhone 11 pro??
Subscribed! I’m looking for one of these ND Filters! Could you please tell me if this one (Neewer) works with the iPhone 11 wide angle lens (.5x)? I would appreciate so much!!
Quite new to photography. Use this with my S21 ultra. I noticed your iso was 24. However, the lowest I can go on pro settings is 50 so when I try for long exposure it's over exposed even a 1 second. Could you advise anything please.
@@Jays_Highway Happy to help! I use it in this more recent video too and it sounds much better because I'm using an actual recorder from EVISTR whereas here I was recording into my 1st gen iPhone SE th-cam.com/video/3LcboNOS7yM/w-d-xo.html
@@David_Addison Awesome! So what your saying is - it's better to record audio into an independant device like the EVISTR than straight into your smartphone?
I take construction progression photos of houses being built for a realtor friend of mine. I don't have a lot of choice when (time of day) I can take the photos. Nor do I have control over the angle from the sun. If the house front faces east, and I have to be there in the afternoon, I have the sun behind the house messing with my photo. Will one of these filters help in this scenario, or should I be looking for a different solution? I am using an iPhone 12 Pro Max.
Thanks for the info. I will probably still consider getting one of these filters for other photos, but for now, looks like I get to go learn a new skill set, editing photos. Thank goodness for TH-cam. 😀
What settings did you use. Because i use it with filmic pro. But as soon as i put it in manual mode to apply the 180 degree shutter rule i get a grainy image. Is it because my phone natively does not have pro mode?
@@David_Addison yeah its my phone. When i touch the iso wheel it does nothing. The numbers move up and down but it does not get darker or brighter. I have a midrange phone. Galaxy a50. Think thats the problem because i have the same issue with the moment app
Yes, they are available but I don't have one (at least not yet). I just use the one you see in this review and position it over the wide lens for the time being. Not ideal though.
I just got the newer Neewer model of this one that comes with a CPL and color filters. About $40. Got it at night of course so I haven’t got to fully try it yet.
Don’t use Raw+ as it pastes your clipboard every time it’s launched/relaunched. There is zero need for a camera app to touch your clipboard let alone grab what you have stored in it. Funny enough it only starts doing it after you purchase the unlimited photos IAP 🤷♂️

@@David_Addison Just arrived today in South Africa.. Thanks, Amazon .. And thank you David for your content.
Seems like you are reading my mind, exactly what I was looking to buy but was looking for a review
Awesome job
Thanks Tahir! Happy to help!
Sameee lol
Thanks for this review. I was undecided before, but I'm buying one now.
As a Romanian ... i thank the algorithm that got me here...just to hear you talk in Romanian:)))) Nice review, wanted to buy this product😂
Ahhh yes at the end 😆
What camera application are you using? And btw it's the best explanation i have seen so far
Absolutely fantastic review! Spent the last month and a bit learning the basics of camera settings both on DSLR and smartphone. I was looking to buy this and you have cemented my opinion on it. Thank you!
Thanks Joseph! If you watch my 2021 Moment app review you can see more footage I shot with it. It's the part with the guy walking over the wooden bridge.
@@David_Addison Brilliant!
This is the free that I use when making my shirt films. I also use it in conjunction with the Moment Cinebloom filter
which lenses do you use behind the ND and the cinebloom? I'm curious if I use an ND and the Cinebloom on my telephoto lens that I'll get poor results.
Cute, Relatable, Practical, Informative!!!! You won me over!!!!
Great video! Do you know of a similar option for iPhone 14 Pro Max? It has 3 camera lenses
what is the link of the product ?
Better than most of the youtubers.. Calm and relaxed.. No fake stuff etc. Thanks for the video. I have a question.. Do you recommend it for the price? Are there any other 37 mm filters with holders which you can suggest?
Thank you! This is the only one I've used as I'm new to phone filters.
@@David_Addison Thank you!
Thanks for sharing. Was looking for a ND filter solution for my iPhone XR. You just saved me some money!!
I’m normally adding vignetting in post on my pictures. I just like it that way.
Great job! did you use an apexel telephoto lens?
Hi David, Just the type of review and information that I was looking for!, Liked and subbed, Thanks.
Thank you. Glad it was helpful!
Well put together summary David- however this clip is only for phones with one lens. what do you recommend for the iPhone 11 to 13 that has 3 lenses in a square box config ?
And what about my ultra wide angle lens in mobile...is possible to see edge of the filter in footage? Or no.. thanks
Hey man, for videography do you recommend me getting ND 2-400 or unadjustable ND1000, is 400ND that dark to get 1/48 in a normal sunny day?
David you have a great videos and it is very interesting to watch you.

Hey Johan, yes you’ve got in spot on. About your last question, in that case you’d have to do a bit of old school trial and error.
@@David_Addison thanks. ✌️ Will experiment.
Thank you, David. Nice review!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for this info! And how about using ND filter at night with low light? Any good?
I'm not too crazy on the clip putting constant pressure on the screen. How tight is it?
Vídeo bem esclarecedor sobre a utilidade do filtro ND para smartphone.
would this work on my oppo a72 it has 6 lens lol so i don't think so
Did u use this filter on apexel 2x tepephoto len?
Looks good, but a 17mm tread case with a 17mm tread to 52mm adapter with a 52mm Hoya ND gives very good results.. 😉 No lights gets in to the lense.
Thanks for the info!
Pisicul Meu You know that... 🙈
What are the benefits of a 17mm to 52mm adapter over using a 37mm? My current setup is with a 52mm adapter but I'm considering swapping to 37mm because the Ulanzi telephoto doesn't have a thread.

Brilliant content we’re learning a lot thank you 🙏🏽
Thanks Saleh!
Simply best review!
@david This nd filter vs reelheld app review? 😃
Does it work on iPhone 12 Pro Max. The clip appears smaller
Hello, did you recommend apexel macro lens 100mm ( HB100MM) ?
Great review thank you 😊👍
Thanks for watching!
Will this clip reach down far enough to cover the lens on an OPPO X2 PRO ?
thanks dude just got one!
hello, does anyone know if this filter can work on a normal s23?
Does this kit work with the Iphone 12 Pro Max?
Can this little beast perform well with dual cams?
Hi, lovely video.. It seems the 37mm neewer nd filter is worth the price..I am also searching for a variable ND filter for my mobile..May I know if it will work with the iPhone 11 pro??
According to the Amazon listing it’s compatible with the iPhone 11 Pro but only with 1 lens at a time 👍
Thanks for the reply mate.. God bless...
Can you do sharpness test?
camera app ??
Nicely edited
Does it fit for iphone 13 pro max?
Subscribed! I’m looking for one of these ND Filters! Could you please tell me if this one (Neewer) works with the iPhone 11 wide angle lens (.5x)? I would appreciate so much!!
The clip is 37mm. The wide angle may even be double that. Send Neewer an email and ask.
3:10 basically... take more pictures than you think is enough
Oh yeah, I often take more than I need. Happy shooting!
what is ND filters for iphone 13 pro max

Not sure what phone you use but get a pro camera app. Android FV-5 Pro. Open Camera is open source and free.
IPhone has it's own pro camera apps.

I'm not sure about that!
Can we use this on android?? I was thinking of getting one.
Why not?
Yes. Universal.
Does this work with any kind of phone? Say the samsung note 10 plus?
As an iPhone user I’m not sure. The Amazon listing says it’s compatible with most phones but it’s best to double check first
Yes
