An ND filter reduces light reaching the camera, allowing a slower shutter in bright conditions and more natural motion rendering when appropriate.
- Choose strength after frame rate, colour profile and desired shutter approach.
- Watch the histogram and highlights.
- Remove it when ISO becomes too high or exposure unstable.
- Polarizing effects depend on sun angle and can create uneven skies.
- Recheck gimbal balance and manufacturer guidance when adding accessories.
