It's awesome seeing all those youtubers saying wonders about the Polarpro x PM because they were sponsored by the brand. And then a few months later the filter is already trash... You cannot trust KZitem reviews anymore. That said, of those 4 filters the only one a serious professional should consider is the Freewell (I have the NiSi). There are better options, expensive options.

The CPL/ND depending on if you get screw on or maglock you might need to use two hands to really fine tune the cpl otherwise again one hand.

When i realised how this Chroma designed i was pretty disappointed because i hoped that it might be perfect VND filter. God.... it's so stupidly designed... it kills the usability. I'm curious how such experienced guys like Peter an PolarPro could design it this way... how? Especially with such a high price tag. Haida did this polarisation functionality perfectly. Simple and perfect. But i like that Nisi starts from 1 stop. Pretty useful in my opinion. So... i'm still waiting for the perfect filter system... My perfect filter system will be the system with some kind of Maglock (magnets + lock), with slim profile as PolarPro, with the polarisation adjustment as Haida, and with ND range system as Nisi (1-5 + 6-9 with additional neutral ND).

GREAT VIDEO! It all comes down to person preference. After spending a ton of money on "recommended filters" I found the Peter McKinnon filters to be the best out there. I do landscape and no blogging, so maybe this is the difference. I personally have the PMVND - Edition II version set. Straight forward adjusting the F-Stop. ZERO "Xing" like I have found on many of the others. If I need the CPL I just add it to the end. Because they are so thin and streamlined you have to add a LOT of filters to get any vignetting. I usually just leave the 2-5 Stop on which, in most case, alleviates the need for a CPL. On the adjusting of the F-Stops there is a "CLICK" that sets a holds the F-Stop you are using, unlike most of the other variable filters. Even when I do add the CPL on I can turn the CPL without moving the F-Stop. I find the colors to be true on all PM filters. This is a PRO - and CON is the cover. On the first version there is big rubber cover with the filters was really nice. HOWEVER, after time they do wear and replacing them IS NOT CHEAP. On the Version II the back cover is metal and a new designed rubber front cover. As far as I am concerned (again personal preference) THE BEST THING ON THE MARKET! Unscrew it and put it right on the camera and remove the front cover, NEVER TOUCHING THE FILTER. The rubber filter on the front is now MUCH smaller and as of today, has not worn out like the version I. CONS - PRICE! Price to buy and PRICE to replace individual items. The other thing is your stock cover will not fit on the filter. You HAVE to use the covers that come with the PM filters (refer to replacing individual items). On version I, when walking would work its way off. I dropped it many times having to retrace my steps to try and find the cover. In the woods a black cover hides very well. so, I painted mine a fluorescent color to make easier to find. Putting on the hood also becomes a pain in the A$$. Bottom line. PERSONAL PREFERENCE. I found a product I like (POLAR PRO PETER MCKINNON Version II) and I think, for my use, they are the best filters you can buy.

Great comparison and quick question about matte box use: Do you know if the Nisi True Colour VNDs or the Freewell v2 can be mounted in a matte box system by Smallrig or others? I do both photography and videography so I need the versatility to be able to use circular photos on my camera directly OR mounted into a matte box without needing to buy special drop in filters that slide into a matte box. The Nisi's and Freewell V2 both look great as they are True Colour and I can put them on a camera lens directly but what about with the use of a matte box? Any thoughts with that? Thank you

Pascal thank you for the video. There is a couple of things I would like to know. Firstly I have the Haida and I find that the CPL moves as I move the ND range. Is the position of the polariser important when using the filter just as a variable ND as surely it will affect the sky and other things if it moves when changing the ND? The other thing is that mine is threaded so you could add a 72mm mist filter to the front if you wished. I bought this filter because I wanted to have a lens hood on my ND and most do not make allowance for this. Lastly on the point of lens hoods do you not think that one is important to get better contrast in bright sun and it would be an interesting video to see if a lens hood made any difference to each filter.
@pascalbasel
2 ай бұрын
That the polarization changes when you change the ND is normal (happens with every VND filter), that's why some of those filters have the CPL functionality. So you can change the polarization after adjusting the ND. Sun hoods are not super important. I don't know anyone that uses hoods together with VNDs.
@DaveKnowlesFilmmaker
2 ай бұрын
@@pascalbasel Thank you for replying. As for the lens hoods maybe people don't use them because they cannot due to no thread in the filter., I often see this topic of not being able to use one coming up. I do find they do make a difference in bright sun so I will only buy variable NDs with threads like the Haida or Cokin. I have been filming both for television and now as an independent filmmaker for many years (long before variable ND filters) and have always used a lens hood or a matbox as do most professional filmmakers. I just do not understand why when it comes to variable NDs manufacturers seem to ignore this for it is so simple for a thread to be added.
