I'm big into night photography, but the problem is, I often find that to get the desired results, I have to have a really low ISO. Because of this filter, I am able to take better photos without compromising on my ISO. The filter comes securely packaged and it will be accompanying me on my travels.

I got this as an alternative to the SRB filter i was using previously and quite frankly... its amazing. Its unbeatable for the price. I love the fact it has hard stops at both ends so you cant over rotate it and get that darkening and X pattern you get with most cheaper variable ND filters. It's also in a nice round case and has the stops scale marked on it. I did find its range is ever so slightly different from stated... it's about a 3rd of a stop under, but the image quality is great.

Was looking at the more expensive ND filters but glad I went for this very good results so far, needs more testing

I tested this filter against some filters that I pay more for, and I would definitely recommend it!With the variable ND filter, you usually want to avoid the very end of the scale, and this is pretty much the same across the range. With this one, it's very easy to see where is the end of the scale and not over rotate it, which is happening a lot when you running around to pick up the footage with other filters. I would say it's either something like this or much more expensive filters within the range or 300£ or more. Don't go for anything in the middle!

Fantastic Filter, has stops to limit the twist in order to avoid the dreaded X shadow, it’s very cheap compared to other brands, and the quality feels very solid, clear markings on the filter to get accurate images, comes with a nice case to keep it secured

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.
