Please note, I made this review after purchasing both filters and realizing the huge difference in color cast. This is not a paid review. However, NiSi sent me an affiliate link after this video. I guess they liked it. lol Apologies for the confusion regarding the NiSi filter being "way darker"... the NiSi filter is the ND4+PL, so it's supposed to be 2 stops darker than the PolarPro. One more thing... the ND ratings of the NiSi filters do not take into account the 1 stop of light lost from the PL. So, the ND/4+PL is actually 3 stops darker than no filter and could be considered ND/8.
I've been a huge fan of the Breakthrough Photography filters for being color neutral. But they don't make filters for drones. I'm really happy with the color reproduction of the NiSi! :)
Haha, yeah... if I can't find the TH-cam video I'm looking for, I need to make it! I should clarify, the NiSi filter I bought is their ND+PL, so it's supposed to be 3 stops darker. NiSi does also make a regular PL that's only 1 stop darker, just like the PolarPro I have. I could have done an apples-to-apple's review with both being non-ND versions, but I bought the ND4 PL version of the NiSI.
At 1:20 you are not "turning the polarization down". You are just adjusting the angle/direction of the polarization. Vertical vs horizontal vs diagonal etc. Your example of the polarization is horizontal vs vertical polarization. Not minimum vs maximum polarization. It's important to understand the physics behind it so you won't anything funny when trying to block reflections with PL-filter. "Polarized waves are light waves in which the vibrations occur in a single plane. Plane polarized light consists of waves in which the direction of vibration is the same for all waves. "
That's correct. I was speaking on the fly (non-scripted), so I just said what I said. But, you're right about turning the CPL just changing the polarization angle.

Dude. This is the best polarization video I’ve seen. Thanks for getting the scopes out 😎
Thank you Ryan!
you made stunning job, 🖖
Thank you!
I do like the Nisi nds and have been using them for about 4 years. I now have NIsi swift system and love it

Sky is making TH-cam vids now?! 😉
I've been curious about these NiSi filters, but man... that loss of 3 stops is a really steep price to pay!

@@skymakai ah, gotcha
