Hello. Just want to ask if anybody has any input on which is the better VND, a) Freewell or b) PGYTECH. Thanks in advance.
Which is a better VND, Freewell or PGYTECH?

I just received a PGYTECH and am really impressed by build quality and design. It is state of the art as re:how many zippers, pockets, and options can you put in one piece.
As I was going through it at unboxing, I recall thinking this was the first sewn anything I’ve purchased in years that did not need stray threads cut.
I haven’t packed out the big bag, but I have used the little one a number of times. It is set up to fly, go someplace other than home and recharge while working there, fly, repeat…
In the One Mo bag alone I had M3P, humble cover, RC, 3 batteries, charger, one long heavy and several shorter charging cables, a 65 and a 100 w charger, landing gear, large ND filter set in case, multiple SD cards and a reader, screw drivers, full prop set, strobes, FAA related Certs and other documents—and on the outside lashing point I tucked a landing pad and clipped on a scanner. There was probably more…I did not have the expanding top opened up, and the OM’ fit back into the main bag easily.
It was convenient to say the least.

Are we talking about a Variable Neutral Density filter (VND) or a field carry case? I will check out this bag though.
Enthusiasm is contagious. Is that bag made by PGYTECH or another company? After reading your post I would like to check it out. Stay enthused - it’s healthy and it is part of why we have this forum. No apology needed.I’ll be darned. VND—
Sorry if I confused anyone. I was just to excited about a great product.

I have never used PGYTech filters but I have been using Freewell filters and I have had had zero issues with their glass.
Hello. Just to say I got my PGYTech 2-5 stop VND for my Air 2S today as they were suddenly discounted on Amazon. IMHO they’re not great. Firstly I think the way they’re designed to be so thin snapping and locking them into the lens is very tricky and I nearly thought I was going to break the gimbal.
Second, there’s severe vignetting on the top right and bottom left corners. I’ll test it further tomorrow but my first impressions of this VND lens aren’t particularly positive.

I have the VND (Mist Edition) filters from Freewell - These are absolutely my favourite filters I´ve ever used on drones so far!
VND:
+very good quality glass, low color tint
- with VND 2-5 there is a slight vignetting at 5 -> better use the 6-9 at 6 in this case
Mist:
+ the slight mist effect makes the picture so much more organic
+ awesome highlight roll-off -> makes the golden-hour even more impressive
All in all, I can highly recommend the Freewell VND Mist Edition Filters for the Air 2s!

Got the VND filters from PGYTECH for the Air 2S. Noticed that there is shaking in the camera everytime I begin to hover from full forward speed whenever the camera is pointed vertically downwards.
I measured the mass in grams and the VND filters are 2.58 grams compared to the generic filters from RCSTO at 1.95 grams. The original frame is at 1.13 grams.
The added weight is probably ok for forward views and angles less than 90 degrees but not for 90 degrees pointing downwards.
