What ND Filter Do You Need? Testing frame rates and apertures at different times of the day.

I test what ND filter amount is needed for frame rates 24, 60 and 120 fps and apertures - f1.4, f2.8 and f4.0. I also test what ND filter strength is needed at different times of the day, as well as sunny and cloudy conditions. You will know exactly what ND filter to buy depending on how and when you are recording a video.

I completed a comprehensive test on what ND filter you need, specifically the strength of ND filter you need depending on if you are shooting 24, 60 or 120 frames per second, with an aperture of 1.4, 2.8 and 4.0, as well as what time of day you are shooting. All these factors will change how much light you will need to filter with a ND filter. After watching this comparison test video, you will know exactly what ND filter to buy depending on what lens you are using, what frame rate you are shooting in and what time of day you’d like to record a video.
