What are ND filters? Why should I use one? Will an ND filter really make my video footage look better? Will an ND filter make a difference on a GoPro or other action camera?
In this video we take a look at these questions, and break down exactly when and why you should be using Neutral Density (ND) filters on your GoPro, Insta360, or other action camera.
ND filters are quite simple, they darken your footage which can allow for some improvements in camera settings. When shooting video, it's best to set your shutter speed to exactly twice that of your frame rate. This means that at 24fps, we should be using a shutter speed of 1/48th (or 1/50th) of a second.
The problem is, with a shutter speed of 1/48th of a second your footage will be too bright even at your lowest ISO of 100 on a bright sunny day. This is where ND filters come in. We can set our camera to manual mode and lock the shutter speed at 1/48th, and the ISO at 100. At that point we know we have the best settings in the camera so we can then use ND filters to control the brightness of the image by trying lighter and darker filters.
Essentially ND filters allow us to keep the best settings on our camera, while also ensuring perfectly exposed footage. Awesome!
