I've been using this filter for a while now and I'm liking it. No X pattern at all. Useful range of densities; in bright conditions I slap a constant ND8 on under it to bring the variable density adjustment down to a useful range. I imagine it has a slight color-cast to it, like most do, but so far my footage has been very easy to balance with no obvious weirdness; if anything it often doesn't seem to need much correction. The filter's pretty thin and not too intrusive in use. Only real downside is that it has a different end diameter from the lens, so the lens hood (and cap) can't be used at the same time - but that's pretty usual, I believe. Overall it's a good filter and sure beats trying to control exposure with multiple single-density ND filters, as I was before.

I really do like this, made from good quality material and has a constant filter when varying the brightness of it. Would recommend.

Great for video when you don't want to close down your aperture when your goal is to stay within your desired frame rate (shutter angle).
It's a well made product at an affordable price point and feels like a premium item.
The bottom line: if you're thinking about this vs the more expensive alternatives, you won't be left short with this.
