The title's slightly misleading, though the explanation and demos look sound for video, ND filters do have there place when using the 'Photo's' mode - I've seen some decent long (max 30sec length on this camera) exposure waterfall and river images taken with the Action 3 and even some landscape photography. And whilst they're not DLSR level, and its obviously not the 'main' purpose of the action camera - if you've only got one camera with you, thats the one you'll have to use - video or photos. Thanks for taking the time to show us this stuff 👍

When riding my motorcycle, I always turn off stabilization. I use a handlebar, chest, or helmet mount so on smooth highways and roads I can benefit from having ND filters to get the natural blur of the surroundings. ND filters still have a role to play depending on their application. You made some great points though.

Thanks for this. Was almost 'seduced' by the blurb into buying filters for my gopro but after your video (& others) will save my pennies. I love my gopros & their versatility but do understand that they have limitations wont stop me trying to push their boundaries tho! Thanks again.

[JerryRomineStocks]

Great video and explanations. Thank you.

My filters arrived today and I get to see this video this evening. Your video is very helpful since I now know when not to use filters and when I can, such as in photography (information from the comments). None-the-less, great information on this topic and other topics from your other video. I'm a big fan. Thanks.

You had some really great points there. Thanks for sharing. I will like a proper explanation on using NDPL filters on my drone and what does it mean to film 90 degrees to the sun when using these filters for best image quality

[PatchedBandit]

Only good video I have found about this issue online. Excellent!

[santoslagunaacademydallasf]

Makes a lot of sense! Thank you for sharing!

[stevenpitts]

Awesome video man 😊 really appreciate it

[Oholisfliesandfishing]

Great video. I was sceptical about not using CPL, you made perfect sense about it all. Cheers

[iamcheck.thisout]

the best video explaning this topic! I almost wasted my money on these filter.. You got my sub in exchange for teaching me those knowhow and saving me money!

[leewinter]

Excellent video! Very informative about the relationship of filters and internal stabilization of action cameras!

[SparkySenor]

A really informative video, thank you

[marks]

Cpl filters are good to use when filming hyperlapses of sunsets, particularly when water is involved. Good video mate

[borisborisov]

Thanks dude. You saved me a bunch of cash. Great stuff

[Olafgolafpop]

Actually, what you said about the UV filters is exactly reason why I DO buy them. They have zero effect but still protect my lenses from scratches. If something bad happens, I prefer to change a filter for 30 dollar rather than a lense for 500$.

[MRSMIY]

Never thought about that … makes sense now.. so if u use nd filters just turn off all stabilization

[MrRoskoPeko]

Great video. You just saved me $$ as I was considering getting ND filters.

[grahamjones]

That's great. I was about to buy a ND 1000 for my action 3, won't bother now.👍

[hunglongdee]

Thank you sir, you just saved me some money =)
