You may have heard that you NEED ND filters for your drone. I had never shot with them until this summer and to be honest, in most situations it is very difficult to even see a difference. I was skeptical of the hype and so I tested them all summer. Here is what I found.

These are the Sandmarc filters I used: amzn.to/2z14n3T
- absolutely no complaints here. They are durable and screw on and off easily. While they did send them to me, I see no reason why I wouldn't recommend them. They're now a great addition to my kit.
