    Nisi is killing it! Even their solid ND's, basically zero colourshift! :)

      I agree!! I’d love to try out their true color vari ND sometime, the results look amazing, it’s a bit pricey for my budget, but eventually I might have to pick one up! 🙌

    Does the regular VND have haptic feedback (a "click" feel) at each stop like the VND+Mist filter? Are there female threads on the VND to stack something in front of it, or would this have to be the last in a stack?

    • @victor.melchorfilm
      @victor.melchorfilm  Před rokem +2

      Great question! the regular ends don't have any clicks at any stop, it's smooth throughout rotation. and no female threads so the vnd will have to be the last to stack

    Thanks for the advice about the filters, I will check out the freewell ND filter, my cheap no name filter creates some strange rainbow effect sometimes 😅

      Of course I’m glad to help! :) Nice, it’s definitely worth the investment in my opinion! I get you, that would happen on my Gobe filter and I wouldn’t notice much until looking at the footage on my laptop haha!

    Question: Are these Stackable? Does the NISI Have front threading for the Freewell ND? You have them stacked but I want to confirm.

    • @victor.melchorfilm

      Yeah they are stackable! I use both majority of the time and the nisi black mist does have front threading :)

    I'm thinking of buying the Freewell 2-5 stop VND for video on my Sony RX10IV. Is this filter compatible with a lens hood? And is it possible to adjust the VND without having to take off the lens hood? Im using the stock lens hood which is a tulip shaped one.

    • @victor.melchorfilm
      @victor.melchorfilm  Před měsícem

      Hello! I believe you would need to shoot without the lens hood for the filter to fit since the vnd is two pieces of glass, it's a bit thicker than smaller uv filters. However I never shoot with a lens hood so it hasn't been an issue for me. Let me know if this helps!

    hi, if you put both filter on the lens like you did at the end of the video, and assuming the first filter on top of your lens (mist) is a 82mm diameter, does the external (nd) filter have to be the same diameter as the mist (82mm) or 1 size bigger?
    Or shortcut, are both filters the same diameter?
    Thank you!!

    Hello! I just recived my first camera, Sony ZV E10 with the 11 mm Sony lens. I want go avoid vignetting, i heard that is difficult with wide lenses.. maybe of i get a big stepup ring, maybe from 55 to 77mm? One person told me is better to buy fixed ND filters, maybe i can get 3 stop, 6 and 10. What do you recommend? Thanks!

    • @victor.melchorfilm
      @victor.melchorfilm  Před rokem +1

      Fixed nd filters don’t vignette at all so if you do want to avoid I’d recommend fixed nd’s :) However variable nd’s are incredibly convenient and even on a wide like an 11mm you shouldn’t experience terrible vignetting that will ruin your shot. Hope this helps!
