Video Accessory Review (Posted on 07-21-2018)

When it comes to shooting great video, we often take "cheap" accessories for granted. It's easy to say because they're....cheap. Just because it's cheap doesn't mean it's bad, and accessories like lens filters could play a big role for your video.

Being that this brand is from a company that couldn't compete with other consumer tech stores, it's nice to see them back in the hunt. And what better way to review a product by them?

Although it's easy to write about how each filter holds up, we went as far as to shoot some sample video demonstrating each lens in action.



While the test for the UV filter may cause a bit of a stir, due to the shifting sunlight being partially blocked by the clouds, it still does the job. It does protect your lens but you do see a very slight difference with the filter as opposed to without. The other two filters worked flawlessly and make a huge difference for your video.

If you're just a one-man crew, and/or have a bag full of different lenses, these make a great addition to your camera equipment. If you shoot with a full-on matte box with a follow focus knob, I likely would recommend getting yourself glass filters for the matte box (something we will review here in the future). Whether it's video or photo, these lenses can dramatically change and help your shots, making the colors pop. This ought to make color correction a breeze per post production.

These are solid and hold up well. We truly recommend them!
