Do the bezels have like a click at each setting or just smooth
turning.

Just smooth turning, but it is “sticky” enough that they should hold the setting given the gimbal isolation. Time will tell.

Thanks and good. I would like to be able to let it hover abit over me and dial it in looking at my screen.
Might not be able to but we shall see.

Yes we will! One question I already have is if The graduated effect is continuously variable since there are “marks” but no detente. If so then then this “infinite variability would allow incremental adjustments between filter equivalents. Could increase flexibility of use when dialing in an exposure.

Ed Ricker video on his channel came through to me recently, a good review.

Looks like no issues with them, he showed a few clips early on with how many other reviews have been done by other reviewers too.

Meh, maybe these filters are great, but this pitch video is not. At about 20s into the video, when the drone is flying over some woods, you can easily see an internal reflection flying right along in the frame. Notice that the sun is more or less behind the camera.

Interesting pick up. I have not seen this in mine, but will get more specific testing done.

I dont know if that specific scene was filmed with this filters or not, i think he doesnt say....but if it is, well we have a problem.

Well I can tell you now as far as I am concerned with the gimbal saver I love mine and see no issues I have read others worried about. Is all I use now. Takes a few times to get the hang of it but then is easy and has a LT guarantee. Not a see gone.
I will say about the filter with it in a few days when they arrive .

Hey Dirk, Just wanted to know what your thoughts are on this variable filter if you have got them yet. Im very tempted on buying these for my first filters.
