I mounted the same setup, but the gimbal goes on tilt because the unbalances the filter weight. How can I risovere? I have seen videos in which they put the coins to balance the secret is this or there are other better ways? thanks

+Giovanni Monaco i also have heard of people using coins to get the balance right... but my gimbal has screws that i can adjust to make it balance out.

It's best to prevent the jello than try to fix it. Even Mercalli 4 can't do that 100%.

are you using a gimbal?

Chad Johnson commented on 22 Jan 2015

No gimbal in this video. You can see the camera hard mounted at the very beginning of the video. These days I use a gimbal. This was 2 years ago.

I'm sorry.......so will a CP filter work as well in eliminating jello as a ND filter then??

Chad Johnson commented on 26 Dec 2014

It depends. ND filters have various levels. Usually you need an ND4 (ND.6) for morning and afternoon sun, and an ND8 (ND .9) for brighter conditions. Some filters are marked with ND 4, where some have the same density, but they measure that as ND .6. It depends on the filter brand. A CP filter usually also has about 2 stops of light suppression (which is a .6) so it will remove jello where an ND .6 would be appropriate. But for brighter conditions you'd still want an ND .9. So I suggest you just get a couple ND filters. Also a CP only works when the sun is 90º angle from the camera. It's good if you are trying to reduce glare on water or glass. That's whay I suggest you research the proper use for a CP filter. It's not the sort of thing you use all the time like you would an ND. You could be like me ant get all of them! Search "SRP BlurFix Air" and get an ND 4 (which is an ND .6) and an ND8 (which is an ND .9) and maybre a CP for certain occasions.

Hi Chad! I am interested in buying a DJI quad copter and just attach my gopro hero 4 black edition to the gimbal. I wax wondering if I need to have the ND filter or can I use the CP filter in its place?? And what would be the difference? Thanks!

Chad Johnson commented on 25 Dec 2014

The blurfix SO naked won't work with a gimbal. It's too heavy. Use the BlurFix Air, which works with the DJI Zenmuse and about any other Gopro gimbal. You can use a CP filter too. You'll have to research the difference between ND and CP filters.

Rey Albert commented on 01 Dec 2014

How heavy is the filter?

Chad Johnson commented on 02 Dec 2014

I think it may be around 30g. If you don't fly with your case, there is the BlurFix Air that goes right onto the GoPro lens, and it won't affect gimbal operation. It's around 7g.

Hi. Just wanted to point out. (Being pedantic) The issue the Nd filter fixes isn't really rolling shutter. It fixes jello like vibrations noticeable at fast shutter speeds, yes. But rolling shutter is the scanning speed across the sensor (normally top to bottom or bottom to top) Which causes fast objects in shot to appear deformed. (Eg vertical lines look diagonal when camera is moving sideways) or a helicopter blades look bent. Shutter speed doesn't dictate the speed of the sensor scan. But if the shutter is open longer then of course you get blurring which can hide some of these effects. P.s. You didn't mention why you use the lens hood. This is great for avoiding shadow from the props falling onto the lens and causing another type of nasty strobing.

biscuitsalive commented on 25 Mar 2015

Yep. Get what you mean. But the term rolling shutter is pretty specific and not caused by vibration. As in the jello effect drones can get. You would need a significantly more expensive camera (thousands) to use global shutter and not be affected by rolling shutter. In all those cases the Nd filter would only blur the image so the effect was less noticeable. But it would still be there. (The vertical lamppost would still be diagonal, just a blurred diagonal)

Video Shooter commented on 25 Mar 2015

You are correct. However, if the sensor were a CCD that reads all at once you might see some vibrations but you would not see Jello...That is the effect I am referring to in the video which the ND filter helps to minimize. Thanks for the comment!
