Product Description

How does it help?

At Freewell we always listen to our buyer feedback thinking of ways to make their day to day shoot convenient, quick & easy for this reason we have made the industry-first Variable ND Filters for drone compatible with Air 2S Drone, These hard stop Variable ND reduces the chance of cross-polarization & vignette suited for quick & easy solution to avoid changing filters on the field.

FAQ:

Q. What is the best-recommended setting to shoot with VND?

A. Expose your shot to have a proper motion blur. Adjust the white balance to your liking thinking about the color grading you will be doing. Film in flat profile (Dlog) for a better color grading. If your drone/Action Camera/Gimbal allows you to change the sharpness and contrast of the image you can tweak those to your liking too.

Q: Is variable ND also polarizer filter?

A: Although variable ND is made of 2pcs polarizer filter they do not provide or help to reduce polarization as once you have 2 pieces of glass they act as reducing the light coming to your sensor.

Q. Can I take Panorama with Variable ND?

A. No, you cannot take panorama pictures with variable ND or with any hybrid filter which has 2 pieces of glass such as CPL, ND/PL reason being polarizer filter acts in a very specific way to the angle of the light, change the angle by a few degrees and you can get a dramatically different polarizing effect.

Q. Is variable ND suitable for pictures?

A. In most cases YES you can use variable ND even for pictures however you may have some tint which can be corrected in post, Variable ND is best suited for video when you are on the field to avoid changing the filters by simply turning the filter to set your need.

If you have any other questions please feel free to reach us.

Excellent filters!

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2020

Exactly what you’d expect from Freewell! Great quality. I bought these to replace my Freewell 4K series 8-pack. I just wish I had known about these sooner. So much more convenient and you can pretty much leave the 2-5 stop filter on in all but the brightest conditions. Less handling of the gimbal is a good thing. You don't get polarization with these filters, but I found it quite cumbersome to do polarizing with the 8-Pak on a drone - too much fiddling around. I'd rather increase the color saturation in post-production of the photos or videos.

The filters are well made with no imperfections whatsoever in the glass and no vignetting on the images or the videos. It's a bit difficult to turn the lens to get to the right stop, so I suggest you do this with the drone turned OFF so as to minimize any issues with the gimbal. Also remember that the stops refer to specific ND settings, but the numbers don't match. On the first filter, 2=ND4, 3=ND8, 4=ND16, 5=ND32. On the second filter 6=ND64, 7=ND128, 8=ND256, 9=ND512. I don't anticipate much need for the second filter, but it's nice to have it just in case. It would have been good to have the option of buying only the 2-5 stop filter for less $.

Bought this for my drone and crashed it. I was expecting the VND to crack, surprisingly the glass didn't crack instead the two-polarizer separated and don't feel as secure after putting it back together. Now the two-polarizer separate every so often in the bag that I am worried that I will lose it.

I ordered VND on Dec 22, 2023 and the package arrived on Jan 7, 2024. Now I have both Freewell fixed ND filters and 1-9stop VND filters. I tested VND in different day light conditions. The results are the same as Freewell official site. Now I can change the stop by turning the wheel. I don't need to detach and attach fixed ND filters now.

The variability feature is worth the time savings

Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2023

Verified Purchase

This variable 2 lens set does cost a bit more than the individual 4 to 6 filter sets however, In my opinion, they are worth every penny. With either type variable or fixed, you do need to turn the drone off as to not put any counter force against the camera while it is powered on which might cause damage to the camera or gimbal assembly. The real time savings comes is making an adjustment by simply turning the lens bezel, you can go from 2 - 5 stops or 6 - 9 stops much quicker than opening the case, removing the current filter and placing it in the case, selecting a different filter from the case and placing that filter on the camera. See, much quicker. Quicker means you can get back up in the air faster and capture those epic photos and video. I highly recommend this filter set over any fixed set of filters.

Vignetting so bad it makes them unusable

Reviewed in Canada on January 11, 2024

Size: VNDXMISTStyle: Mavic 3/Mavic 3 CineVerified Purchase

Once you get to stop 5 and 9 the vignetting is so bad they are unusable. At stop 4 and 8 it’s boarder line. This is extremely disappointing as the hard stop feature is to prevent exactly this issue.
I suggest looking for a different manufacturer or get standard nd to prevent this.

Nice, but it vignettes

Reviewed in Canada on September 11, 2023

Size: 2-5 Stop & 6-9 StopStyle: Air 2SVerified Purchase

Very nice filters that come with a nice case. I got the 2-5 stop & 6-9 stop variable NDs. At the top end of the 2-5 stop, there's a very strong vignette in the top left and bottom right corners. It hasn't been bright enough to go to the top end of the 6-9 stop to see if it has it as well, although I assume so.
I'm not sure if this is normal for VNDs but it is a pain nonetheless. Be aware of this when purchasing.
