1. Purpose: Reduces the amount of light entering the camera by 3 stops, allowing for smoother motion blur and better control over the shutter speed.
2. When to Use: Overcast or partly cloudy days with mild sunlight. Perfect for early morning or late afternoon shoots when the sun is not too intense.
3. Scenario: Great for landscape photography, capturing smooth motion blur in mildly bright environments, or preventing overexposure in slightly bright conditions.
4. Benefits: Ensures natural-looking footage without overexposure, helping you achieve more balanced images with proper exposure settings.
   

1. Purpose: Reduces light by 4 stops, ideal for bright sunny days.
2. When to Use: Clear, sunny conditions where the light is stronger and more intense. Midday or mid-morning shoots when the sun is high in the sky.
3. Scenario: Excellent for controlling exposure when filming outdoor activities, sports, or landscapes in full sunlight.
4. Benefits: Prevents overexposure in bright light, ensuring smooth, cinematic motion blur and allowing for slower shutter speeds.
   

1. Purpose: Reduces light by 5 stops, providing excellent light control in extremely bright conditions.
2. When to Use: Very bright, sunny days, such as shooting in desert-like conditions, open fields, or snowy environments where light is highly reflective.
3. Scenario: Perfect for preventing overexposure during midday or high-intensity sunlight environments, where controlling shutter speed is essential for cinematic results.
4. Benefits: Helps maintain balanced exposure in intense lighting conditions, allowing you to achieve professional-grade footage with reduced light interference.
   

1. ND8/PL Filter 

1. Purpose: Combines ND8 (3-stop light reduction) with polarization to reduce reflections and glare from non-metallic surfaces like water and glass.
2. When to Use: Mildly bright days, especially when shooting near reflective surfaces such as lakes, rivers, or windows. Overcast conditions where glare and reflections may interfere with footage.
3. Scenario: Ideal for outdoor shots with reflective surfaces, such as filming over water or in urban areas with glass structures.
4. Benefits: Controls light while reducing reflections and glare, ensuring vibrant, rich colors and clear footage.
   

2. ND16/PL Filter

1. Purpose: Combines ND16 (4-stop light reduction) with polarization for bright, sunny days with reflective surfaces.
2. When to Use: Clear, sunny conditions with strong reflections from water, snow, or glass. Midday shoots or when light is more intense, causing reflections and glare.
3. Scenario: Perfect for reducing glare while shooting outdoor adventures, beach scenes, or snow-covered landscapes.
4. Benefits: Provides excellent light control with reduced glare, improving overall image clarity and color vibrancy in bright, reflective environments.
   

3. ND32/PL Filter

1. Purpose: Combines ND32 (5-stop light reduction) with polarization for very bright, reflective conditions.
2. When to Use: Harsh, sunny environments, especially near water, glass, or other reflective surfaces. Midday or early afternoon shoots in highly reflective conditions.
3. Scenario: Ideal for shooting in extreme sunlight and reflective environments like deserts, snowy landscapes, or open water.
4. Benefits: Maximum light reduction and glare control, ensuring sharp, vibrant footage with accurate color reproduction in the brightest conditions.
   

1. Purpose: The UV filter primarily blocks ultraviolet (UV) light, reducing haziness and blue tints in outdoor photos.
2. When to Use: Ideal for outdoor shooting, especially in bright, sunny conditions with lots of UV light present. It’s also useful for protecting your lens from dust, scratches, and dirt.
3. Scenario: When shooting landscapes, cityscapes, or general outdoor photography in daylight.
4. Benefits: The UV filter not only improves image clarity by reducing haze caused by UV light but also protects your lens from dirt and scratches without impacting exposure or image quality.

1. Purpose: Reduces reflections and glare from non-metallic surfaces like water, glass, and wet streets, while also enhancing color saturation.
2. When to Use: Perfect for outdoor shots where reflective surfaces are involved, or when you want to enhance the color and contrast in skies, foliage, or water.
3. Scenario: Ideal for shooting lakes, rivers, streets after rain, and bright skies.
4. Benefits: The CPL filter minimizes reflections and glare, allowing you to capture vibrant, high-contrast images with rich colors, especially in outdoor environments with reflective surfaces or bright skies.

1. Purpose: Adds a soft, cinematic glow to your images and videos by diffusing harsh light while retaining contrast in the highlights.
2. When to Use: Great for creating dreamy, atmospheric shots, especially in low light or when there’s direct harsh lighting.
3. Scenario: Perfect for portrait photography, evening and night-time shots, or when filming under bright sunlight or studio lights.
4. Benefits: The Glow Mist 1/4 filter softens harsh highlights and creates a cinematic, dream-like effect, making it perfect for portraits and artistic shots where you want a smooth, ethereal look without losing image detail.
