TACO-RC ND filters set (ND4/8/16/32) for DJI MAVIC PRO

[Nigpd]

If it's the same as DSLR filters, it reduces the incidences of glare

Does the multi coating does any difference really? I see they are a bit more expensive

Just used the MC set out at sea and was surprised how well they work to reduce reflections on the water close up. I usually buy polarizers for this purpose, but that has its own side effects with the sky.
This is my first set of Taco RC filters. So far so good.

As you intimate, I think polarising filters will only be good for stills photography. Using them for video will make the images vary in polarising effect due to changes in angle from the sun as the aircraft moves about

Even with stills photography and a polarising filter, if the field of view is large, there can be a big difference in polarising effect and hence change of hue, across the width of the sky

While we eagerly await the PL filters from Taco-RC, I have a question regarding the multicoated set I have just received.

On the box, it mentions using shutter speeds of 1/100th - 1/150th with a couple of the filters. Firstly, why would this be the case and why so different from the conventional 1/50th or 1/60th to achieve the cinematic feel to video in conjunction with 24fps, 25fps or 30fps?

Also, if we are to stick to a shutter speed of 1/100th - 1/150th, do we have to set the fps to "half", ie 50fps or 75fps? I'm not sure if either of these fps values are settable, but I may be wrong. Does 1/100th or 1/150th with 24fps, 25fps or 30fps achieve good results?

Your views would be much appreciated

The 180 degree rule of shutter which is widely used among Cinematographers is that you want your shutter speed to be double frame rate. You are correct, if you are shooting 24fps shutter should be 1/50th, if you are at 30fps, shutter would be at 1/60th.

if you are shooting 24fps shutter should be 1/50th, if you are at 30fps, shutter would be at 1/60th.

Hence my question regarding why Taco-RC would be recommending 1/100th - 1/150th shutter speed to get best results

Here's a brief edit of some footage I shot with the Taco RC ND Filters out in Marfa Texas this weekend. I'm really liking these filters!

What ND filter did you use? What shutter speed and fps, please?

Opps, sorry. I posted that info in the YouTube description box, but forgot here. Here you go:

Settings:
Full Manual
4K 24fps
ISO 100
Shutter 50
D-Cinelike
WB: Sunny
+1. 0, 0
Taco ND MC Filter: 32

 

[Nigpd]

So nowhere near the 1/100th or 1/150th that Taco indicate on the box

TACO - RC filter are the best in the market at the moment.

I think it is a matter of personal preference. If you would like to have pleasing motion blur in your video, you can still use the shutter speed of 1/50 or 1/60. Usually we want the image a bit more detailed(eg. capturing buildings/structures), so we prefer 1/100 - 1/150.

Together with what fps?

How do I order this 4-pack? On the TACO-RC web page there is no way to add this item to the cart for purchase. Maybe I am just looking at it wrong.

I think they are out of stock on some of their sets.
