ND filter question

[Ripper7620]

I've only purchased polarized Polar Pro ND filters as of now, but is there any circumstances where you would strictly want to use non-polarized ND filters(low light/night time)? Thank you in advance.

You wouldn't want ND filters in low light or night time would you??

I guess not likely,however, I haven’t worked in low light conditions, so I wouldn’t know what works best.

Yeah, nothing in low light, then the higher the ND number, the brighter it gets. PL filters remove glare of reflective surfaces like water.

Yep, I mostly shoot on water, so that's my reasoning for going strictly polarized.

Here is the main difference between the ND and ND/PL filters.
It really comes down to the look you are trying to achieve for each shoot.
Happy to answer any questions and thank you very much for supporting our brand!

I guess the issue with a Polarizer is that based on the situation, a polarizer might need to be moved, at least when I used a PL on my DSLR I would have to move it around to get the best result which would prove difficult with the drone in the air.

Yes, definitely true, we have a Youtube video on that too
