Breakthrough Filters: pricey but worth it.

Fair warning - this one really does drone on for a while. If you don't want to hear me talk aimlessly, feel free to move on. I won't hold it against you :-)

What? I can't believe you've received anything but the highest praise!! My day is uplifted every time you release a new vid., as I get to experience your journey which keeps alive the dream I have for my own future. You're the only one on Youtube who is a V-Raptor X owner, and shares their experiences using and supporting the use of that camera. Please Please keep it up and don't get discouraged by the haters. There will always be haters! As the saying goes, "Haters are gonna hate..."

The Breakthrough system has been 🔥on my Raptor X, the range is also quite insane for a VND been loving it! Great video btw!

[marklholloway]

This was very helpful as I’ve been comparing ‘behind the lens’ ND systems for my V-Raptor. Side note, your channel is refreshing. I’ve always appreciated your candidness. You’re relatable in the way you communicate. Personally I felt you’ve been thorough and succinct. It’s like sitting at the bar having a beer and you’re sharing your advice based on your experiences. Stay true to yourself and keep doing what you do. Cheers! 🍻

I actually dropped $1k on one of these at NAB last year, I’m so excited to use it but my Iron Glass PL Mount glass doesn’t arrive for another year.
Finally a YouTuber making a Breakthrough video and not praising cheaper copycat Poco adapter!

You are my favorite "bad guy" of the camera world. You speak on what they dont. You are on the rise, dont stop

[pablogpmusic]

Bro, I find your Chan el not too long ago and I am a MAJOR fan! People are ridiculous! Finally someone in YT is doing genuine reviews! Keep it up man! We all love you

Love your videos Nick. Instant watch every time.

Footage, your taste in gear, and fashion style is all on point.

Haters on the internet tend to lack a sense of purpose and meaning in life so they hate on people for their own fleeting ego boosts.

Glad to see you handling it well

Rear filtration is always a win 😊👌. I have the Meike version of this, its great value for money buying in a kit with a few filters. Having ND built into the camera is always my first preference though, but I do enjoy using them with a CPL or effects filter, rather than having one at the front of the lens.
Can confirm my Meike adapter was made to the exact correct flange depth, use it quite often with my calibrated 25-250 cinezoom and it is still perfectly parfocal ✌hopefully their QC is that good for every unit they sell.

6:32 ( hallation effect) Those Stories are Truth. on the 70's & 80's much used by Cine & Still image makers where practical effects on set right on camera was and still "a thing" for many, these days its all achievable on Digital Media and beyond as AR for exemple. Great stuff M8 keep it up !

[markwiemels]

I learned a lot about Breakthrough filters... and women's clothing.

[TheContentShak]

Great stuff Nick! May go with the Meike, but these look fantastic!

The color shift isn’t the biggest issue with vnd since it’s fairly easy to correct (in camera or post). The biggest issue is the polarisation effect and lack of control over it. Screw on filters are better in that sense since you can basically rotate the whole filter to dial in pola strength, but with this you can’t control it. And many ppl always think of reflections (or screens like you mentioned), but pola has a huge effect on skin as well so gotta be careful with it. But the regular NDs from breakthrough are great and would be the better option I think. Pricey though 😅 but the best adapter out there for sure. Good content!

Just found you and all your info this was awesome. Subscribed! My wife laughed at your pantyhose explanation btw lol

[c.s.christopher]

btw. there's also the Mofage POCO drop-in filter adapter. Works with Arles lenses too.

[ryanchk]

I pretty love your build. I am also love to build my vraptor as minimal as I can, so I using an iPhone as monitor also because of less power consuming... and I can use a smaller v-mount battery for really run-and-gun use.

I love your filters and make me very regret of using the red factory one.. more filter choice and the VND is smooth to adjust..

"I'm not sponsored by Breakthrough but now a word from today's sponsor, Spanx...." 😂

[SaintProductions]

Ignore the haters!
& I loved that you sat outside while it was snowing 😂

[simonyoung]

The piece to camera shot on the a9iii looks stellar! Any problems with regards to overheating?

[nordfilmcompany]

Oh man. So many people should look into adding filters systems to not only their lenses or camera systems. Thanks again for your video mate👍
Ps! Didn’t it have to be nylon netting from a very specific brand? And have you tried Nisi filters? I feel they are the ones that don’t give a strong colour cast to them.

[NatasciaProductions]

Awesome Video! Been looking for something like this.
