you just sold me on these, I've been researching nd filters for a long time now, and this will do the job for me 100%
thanks, and you're one of the best reviewers on YT for me, precise, concise and no bs, keep it up!
Always my pleasure!
Great review thanks, do you know if you are still able to use the lens hood of the lens with the Freewell on? I can use the lens hood and still mount my Hoya variable ND. Thanks!
Very nice kit. Loving mine so far. Quality review my dude!
Thank you!
Can you stack this along with a Glimmer Glass or Black Pro Mist filter?
Great video 👍. Btw, does it work with matte box? If I can use this system paired with my smallrig matte bix, that will solve all problems.
How well does this work in photography?
Your reviews are the best! never stop this please.. so helpful.
Thank you!
Can i ask if anyone have experience this with the RF 28-70mm 2.0 ? Any fitting issues
2:22 Oh, my beautiful Presporek, as my good friend Pet'o, used to call the city in his songs, how much I loved visiting the city on my business trips. I loved the people, the language and the food a lot. Anyhow, 2:49 what is the theory behind hard stops preventing X patterns?
Hi, I wonder if you could clarify something - do the difference size versions have different sized ND filters, or is it just the base magnetic ring that is different?
(I would like to order one set of filters and some extra base rings in different sizes, but if that won't work then I need step-up rings instead)
did you found out the solution? Thanks
Excellent review. Very informative. Thank you.
You’re welcome, thank you for watching!
Hay, thank you for the comprehensive review. I just ordered one. I'm just wondering if it going to work with h&y revoring adapter. I just alot of money on Freewell system for my 67 lens and now I'm going up to 77 and 95.
It should work with any step up ring. Of course, it only works if your are adapting larger filters to smaller filter thread.
Thanks for this. Hard to annoy you for bakery shots when you're reviewing neutral density filters, so you win. This time.
After installing the magnetic ring, does the base filter provide an air tight seal. Want to protect my 17-28 tamron for dust. The Grove for your finger to pull out the filter looks open
There is no visible gap, but it probably isn't air tight.
I almost purchased their 1/8 Glowmist for $125. Got the early bird kit for $299, definitely worth spending the extra money. Thanks for the preview/review.
Always my pleasure!
Thanks for the great review!
Alwyas my pleasure!
Does the mist base have any nd effect on its own? Like the regular which has 2 stops.
It is also ND2
It's available on Amazon DE, too for 400 EUR, but I'd need the 95mm kit, which is not available, unfortunately. The reason I need 95mm is my beloved PZ28135f4OSS
My current largest lens is 67mm, but would you recommend buying a larger set to accommodate for bigger lenses I may get down the line? And with that, would this set worth alright with step up rings?
It will work with no issues. The only disadvantage is that it is larger, so it depends on how much would you mind that.
@@TheHybridShooter I'm wondering how 82mm treaded base filter would look like on Sony a7c + 20mm f1.8 g. I've ordering 82mm one for future proof but I'm not sure if its good idea or not? So far I don't have any lens with filter tread about 67mm.
Great video, but it's quite a lot for me to process haha.. So is there a possibility to have a mist filter + VND + CPL at the same time? Thanks!
No, you can't have VND and CPL, that is physically not possible.
@@TheHybridShooter correct me if I'm wrong, but the VND filter *is* made up of 2 CPLs, so you will get polarization effects when using a VND.
(Just not as much control over the polarization as compared to a dedicated CPL)
Thanks for this. Yes, changing threaded filters can be annoying.
Always my pleasure.
In real world scenario, how often did you see yourself swapping filters? I have their original magnetic 2-5 and 6-9 stop filters. I only seem to swap them or remove them between daylight and sunset. The only scenario that I think this full set would benefit is to allow me to take off and put on the filter when I’m switching between photo and video recording.
Excellent question. I am facing the same inconvenience. Did you get an answer?
Honestly, that is exactly the appeal to me (being able to quickly switch between photos and videos). I took a regular screw-on VND with me on vacation earlier this year, and it was a pain putting the filter on and taking it off every time I felt like switching. With this magnetic system, it should be much easier.
I have the same lens on my fx3, do you see any vignetting at 24mm?
No.
very clerar to me, thanks for the video
My only concern is the strength of the magnet. If you are shooting in a windy environment or accidentally bump into something, will the nd filters fall off? Also, did you notice any color cast or any vignetting?
Magnets are generally strong enough, the only issue might be carrying the camera lens down and having the filter catch on something. I talked about the color cast in the video. There is no vignetting with the setups that I have tested with, but I haven't used it with ultra-wide lens.
Just 1 question: as it is magnet and has a firm match, does putting it on and off many times not impact a tube of a lens to make it loose? I am about to order the set, but I'm concerned about the issue.
No, that is definitely not an issues.
@@TheHybridShooter thx
In this kit , is the ring that attaches to the lens is included or that needs to be bought separately?
Everything is included.
@@TheHybridShooter thanks a lot .. also One question.. If I directly buy the 95mm version of this kit and then use the step up rings to attach these .. is this going to work perfectly or some misalignment and other issues will be there ?
what happens if you break one of them, can you order just one filter separately as a replacement?
I don't know.
Never ordered off indigo but if i pre order on indigogo when will i get it and will i definitly get it
Shiping time is late August - early September. Freewell is well established brand, so there shouldn't be any risk.
Honorable dear Thank you for your video , I am going get soon Sony A7s3 , Tamron 28-78 f 2.8 , Tamron 17-28 f 2.8 , then which ND filter size do you recommend me ..? 67 , 72 , 77 , 82mm . I am confused help me out of this please.
If you only intend to use it with those two lenses, you can get 67mm.
I got it ,
God may shower his blessing upon you and your family :)
One more confusion generate after finalization of 77mm FREEWELL filter stop 2-5 . which (…mm to ..mm) step up/adopter ring .? Can cover 17-28 & 28-75 f 2.8 , thread 67mm and future lenses and which company to buy in reasonable price ....
Can you use it with Tilta matte box?
I don't have it, so I don't know.
At 24mm on that lens, does this system cause any vignetting in the corners?
No.
@@TheHybridShooter what about at 16mm?
@@stevarionallen1331 No.
@@TheHybridShooter thanks
Nice video as usual.
Thank you!
Nazdar, mám otázku, ak mám objektív s priemerom 55mm napr. Sony 35mm 1.8f a kúpim si tieto Freewell magnetic s priemerom 72mm, viem to vyriešiť s redukciou 55mm na 72mm a na to našrubujem magnetický Freewell, malo by to fungovať však ? Dik za info
Áno, s týmto step-up ring-om to bude fungovať www.freewellgear.com/dslr/473-793-step-up-ring-magneticthreaded.html#/113-step_up_ring-55mm_72mm
@@TheHybridShooter ďakujem pekne, môžem vedieť ešte ako sa ti pozdáva kvalita po dlhšej dobe používania tohto Freewell produktu? nie je to len lacná sranda? zvažujem kúpu, môžem vedieť odkiaľ si to objednával a či nebol žiaden problém s dovozom na svk ? dik
Its so tempting but I probably shouldn't make any more big purchases this year!
I just received mine a few days ago in 95mm to work on Canon DF 28-70mm f/2. The system works pretty great in general. I believe this is the future of circular filter systems.
But I did have an issue with the VNDXMIST on the Canon 85mm f/1.2. It was completely out of focus and the images were just blurry shots with this combo. Freewell says this may happen with certain longer glass. I will note that I tried the VNDXMIST on my RF 70-200mm f/2.8 and while there was a little softness @ 200mm, completely useable.
Wondering if anyone else has had this issue?
It is completely fine with all of my Sony cameras and lenses that I have tested it with. Mist filters always decrease the sharpness to some degree.
@@TheHybridShooter yes, I have Tiffen Pro Mist filters I use and Mist filters do soften the image but this was horrible. Completely out of focus. I’m putting it out there in case someone uses the same combo as I did and has the same issue.
2:22 Wtf ty si zo Slovenska 🇸🇰 ? :D
V podstate áno.
@@TheHybridShooter Haha, to je náhoda 🤣 .. až teraz kukám, že máš aj SK kanál. Btw, skvelá tvorba 👌
Ďakujem pekne!
I have 2 Free Well filters and both the Magnets wore out rending the caps useless. The company did not want to hear. I like the filter but as far as my experience is concerned it's not a matter of if they will fail but when. Boo freewell and it's Magnetic caps.
Beware of the Freewell ND - I bought a set in the 82mm size, and they were wonderful. I bought them because of the neat stops (Haptic Feedback) when you get to the various ND settings as well as the hard stop at the end. The "haptic feedback" along with the excellent color and build quality were what made me decide to buy a second set in 67mm.
BEWARE.
You will NOT get the "haptic feedback" in the 67mm size which was one of the selling points of these ND filters. I reached out to Freewell's customer service as to why, and here is what they said - "Thanks for your message. They are exactly as it says on the box HARD STOP. Hard stop means that it should not go beyond 5 & 9 stops thats precisely what it does. What you are referring to is HAPTIC FEEDBACK which we have recently added in some of the products to see the feedback; it has not been applied to all the sizes & all the filters, nor are we claiming on the product."
So a major selling point for these filters turns out to be a GAMBLE as to which ones have the "haptic feedback" or not. One star for misleading/omission of a critical feature of these ND filters.
So expensive man 🤢🙄🥺
