    Beware of knock off ND filters..

    I've been using neewer as well. One thing I notice is that I need to make sure the filter is snugged in right. Make sure the end of the filter is covering the gimbal ring or you will end up with the overload error. It snaps off easily. Make sure ALWAYS have a GIMBAL CLAMP during the process of...

I edit for cinematic videos. I...

    downsizing from 4k to 1080p upload? why?

Does down-scaling result into better quality and faster upload cause of the file side difference with how large 4k size may be after export? I usually shoot at 4k with...

    "....shot the entire thing with a mavic"? its kinda hard to believe those indoor shots are from a mavic, unless you're holding the mavic and not flying? awesome editing either way.

    folks, im not trying to bash the other filters, not my intention at all. I just wanted to share my own experience with the ones I got. If you have better experience with other brands/seller, then good for you. I just happen to have bought the bad quality filters.

    Beware of knock off ND filters..

    oh okay. They probably are, I have no idea. It just happens to be that the error started happening when I got the filter a few days back. Have you ever had any problems during initialization process?

    Beware of knock off ND filters..

    I was referring to filters made or sells by AQGOODLIFE on amazon. Probably the way it was made, it had some kind of rubber at the end, so you had to put a little pressure so it covers the camera completely all the way in..
