Product Review

Product reviewed

The video discusses whether to buy—and which filters to use—for two gimbal/action cameras:

  • Insta360 Luna Ultra
  • DJI Pocket 4 Pro (Pocket 4P)

All filter suggestions are from Freewell, including an Everyday Pack and other filter sets.

Main features: what the filters are for

1) ND filters (main use: motion blur / “180° rule”)

The creator says they don’t usually use filters for vlogging, but ND filters make sense for following the 180° rule.

Example use case:

  • Dynamic movement (fast pans, cars driving past, quickly moving hands/arm)
  • Without ND, exposure is often too long / too bright, and motion blur can look unnatural or get blown out
  • With ND enabled, the creator demonstrates slightly blurry hand movement (motion blur) while the video stays properly exposed
  • Removing the ND filter makes the image too bright

2) Freewell filter packs (two main options)

A) “Standard Day” pack

Contains:

  • ND4, ND16, ND32, ND64

Positioned as sufficient for using the 180° rule in daylight / bright sun.

B) “Everyday Pack” (special pack)

Includes:

  • ND1000
  • CPL (circular polarizer)
  • Light pollution filter (LPR)
  • Mist filter

3) Specific filter behaviors (pros)

ND1000

  • Recommended mainly for photography / long exposures
  • The creator notes Luna Ultra can take longer exposures (stated up to ~30 seconds) for effects like:
    • blurring water
    • drifting clouds

CPL (circular polarizer)

  • Reduces/removes reflections from:
    • water surfaces
    • windows
    • parts of the sky
  • Can increase contrast, especially after wet/rainy conditions
  • Downside: adjustment is fiddly (needs careful rotation until reflections nearly disappear)

Mist / glow-type filter

  • Makes background lights look softer / glowier
  • Suggested for evenings / studio setups where you want less harsh contrast

Light pollution filter (LPR)

  • Designed to help against light pollution
  • The creator says they haven’t tested it much yet, and it’s the filter they’d use least in the shown conditions

User experience: handling and mounting

  • Luna Ultra mounting: described as magnetic, enabling quick swaps
  • Pocket 4P mounting: requires loosening/removing the lens end piece, swapping filters, then reattaching—more work, but can be kept more permanently and is less likely to be lost
  • Convenience claim: once removed, Luna Ultra’s filter pieces can fit into the case/protective cover attachments, so you may carry extra filters without bringing the whole case

Comparisons made

  • The creator compares filter value mainly against no-filter shooting
    • Claims there’s a noticeable difference in motion blur and the overall dynamic look when using ND vs not using ND
  • They don’t deeply compare the cameras’ sensor quality here—this is more about filter utility by use case
  • They address fan criticism: accusations of bias toward Pocket 4P
    • The creator stresses all three cameras (Pocket 3, Pocket 4P, Luna Ultra) are great
    • Choice should be based on your needs, not “camps”

Pros mentioned (collective)

  • ND filters enable 180° rule compliance in bright conditions → more natural motion blur
  • ND1000 supports long-exposure looks (water/cloud drift)
  • CPL improves image quality by reducing reflections and increasing sky/cloud structure
  • Mist/glow filter creates pleasing background light aesthetics
  • Freewell is praised for reliability: the creator reports little color shift when filters are used

Cons / limitations mentioned

  • The creator isn’t a big filter user for everyday vlogging; filters matter more for specific shots
  • CPL adjustment is fiddly (requires rotating/positioning to reduce reflections)
  • Light pollution filter is described as least necessary (not much tested; not prioritized for the demo conditions)

Settings / demo context (non-ratings)

Luna Ultra test notes

  • Manual mode
  • IS limited to 400
  • 120 fps at 4K60 (and “60 at 4K30” is mentioned)
  • Automatic white balance

The demo emphasizes 4K60 and comparing footage with vs without an ND filter.

Overall verdict / recommendation

  • Yes, ND filters make sense for these gimbal cameras if you want motion blur (dynamic movement) and need to follow the 180° rule in daylight
  • CPL is worthwhile if you frequently shoot reflections (water, windows, sky) and are willing to adjust carefully
  • The creator is less convinced about the light pollution filter (least needed in typical daytime scenarios)

Recommended starting approach:

  • For daylight motion blur: ND (Day pack) such as ND4/16/32/64
  • For more variety: Everyday pack including ND1000 + CPL + mist + light pollution

Unique points mentioned (complete list)

  • Filters discussed for Insta360 Luna Ultra and DJI Pocket 4P
  • Creator says they aren’t usually a filter expert; they use filters sparingly
  • Main ND purpose: enabling 180° rule
  • 180° rule relevance: dynamic movement; static/landscape doesn’t benefit much
  • Demo scenario: filming with and without ND; without ND becomes too bright, with ND motion blur appears
  • Day pack includes ND4/16/32/64 for daylight/bright sun
  • Special pack includes ND1000 + CPL + Light Pollution + Mist
  • ND1000: long exposure effects (blur water, drift clouds), and Luna Ultra can do up to ~30s exposure (as stated)
  • CPL reduces reflections (water/windows/sky), increases contrast after rain/wet conditions; reflection removal requires rotation (fiddly)
  • Mist/glow filter makes background lights glowy, reduces contrast; good for evening/studio
  • Light pollution filter: meant for light-pollution protection; creator says it’s needed least and hasn’t been tried much
  • Mounting: Luna Ultra filters are magnetic; Pocket 4P requires loosening/remounting (more work)
  • Convenience claim: Luna Ultra case attachments let you carry small filters without the full case
  • Freewell praised for long-term quality; creator reports little color shift
  • Creator includes/mentions future camera comparisons
  • Creator asks viewers not to judge “camps” or bias; all cameras are good depending on needs

Speaker breakdown

  • Single main speaker (the creator) delivers the whole review/demo
  • No clearly separated additional speakers; all viewpoints and demonstrations come from the same person
