Useful table for ND filters when shooting video

So if I want to reduce the glare /reflections from water etc is polarizing filters the ones to use as opposed to ND filters?

Hi,
Basically yes
ND filters cut down light intensity but do not affect it, no colourcast etc.
Normally polarising filters restrict light coming in on a flat plane, so you can rotate them to kill reflections coming of water for example, those shots you’ve seen of boats ‘floating’ above the water used these filters,
You can now get circular polarising filters but I’ve not been able to work those out :thinking: they seem contradictory.

Thanks for everyones input. I am refering to video. Last time I did an ariel 360 even when the sun was behind the drone roof-tops & the tops of trees just became very glarey. Ian of Londons vids put me in the direction of filters of which I have no experience so looking to clear the fog.

Already posted this on another thread. It is a good explanation of using ND filters in video
