Ahoj, this is Zdenka.
I've got here very interesting products here today.
If you would like to take
your iPhone photography and filmmaking to a whole next level,
just like you would do with DSLR or mirrorless
camera, then you should check
out these two kits I have here.
Nisi landscape and cinema filter kit.
Nisi is well known for making these square filters used for
landscape photography.
They have a great quality filters, so they decided
to come up with iPhone sets.
They're exactly the same like the filters for the big cameras,
except they're just smaller for iPhones.
Technically, there are three sets. Landscape kit,
filmmaker kit and cinema kit.
I've got these two. In this video I will explain what each
filter does, how you can use it.
We'll check quality.
A lot of examples will be included.
Just a quick disclaimer, I'm not being paid by Nisi.
They are not telling me what to say.
They supplied these two sets for
studio and two more sets for a giveaway,
so keep watching to find
out how you can participate to
win one of those sets.
What is the main difference between those two sets I have here?
Cinema Kit has round filters for filmmaking and landscape kit
has those square filters for photography
which make a huge difference when you take landscape photos.
All three kits have the core of the system, which is
the Nisi IPA holder.
The holder attaches to your phone and it can be also used with a phone case.
It has a very soft finish here, so it won't scratch your screen.
So to this holder you can attach various
round filters which are, by the way, stackable.
So you can mix and match. Streak, mist, variable ND filter and so on.
Or you can attach another Nisi P2 holder
which is used for those square filters
for landscape photography.
What is in a cinema kit for filmmaking?
One to five stop VND filter which is used when you want
to get out of automatic video mode and start filming in manual mode
to introduce natural motion blur. The video will look less like
a smartphone footage and more cinematic.
I have tested this filter and there is no crosshatch pattern.
The material is not cheap, it has quality to it.
It's 1 to 5 stop so it will be great on most
days, especially on overcast days.
They unfortunately did not include 6 to 9 stop variable ND filter
which I use quite a lot here because we have a lot of bright days.
Next filter is 1/4 black mist filter.
Here is a regular look without the filter.
And here is the look you get with the mist filter. It makes very soft looking footage.
You can see how the light sort of goes into mist.
It's not so harsh anymore.
It is used a lot in Hollywood as it makes skin softer looking.
Now these two basic filters you would get
in the third set, which I don't have here,
the filmmaker kit. And this is how you stack them together.
The cinema kit has two more filters. Allure streak blue and
Allure streak orange. It will give you the same anamorphic
light streaks, except you don't need to use the actual anamorphic lens.
This is how the blue streak looks like, and here is how the orange
streak looks like. Because these are filters,
you can turn them in any direction you want.
Let's add a mist filter to the mix.
See again, this is how you can stack them up.
The filter holder is not plastic, it's heavy duty.
It's got some weight to it so naturally, we all might be thinking, well, we cannot
use this filter kit with gimbals like DJI Osmo Mobile 6
or other smartphone
gimbals which have very little payload.
I was using Zhiyun smooth 5 gimbal and when I stacked those filters together,
it actually struggled to pull the set up.
You can film either handheld in apps like Protake and Filmic Pro,
which give you extra stabilization, or you need to use gimbals
like Fiyu-tech scorp mini, Zhiyun crane M3 or Moza Mini P Max.
All those gimbals
I have reviewed on this channel and they are made for heavy payloads.
You can also use them with mirrorless cameras and action cameras.
So this is the only downside to this.
All right, giveaway time. To win this cinema filter
kit from Nisi,
all you have to do is make
sure you are subscribed to this channel, like the video and comment below the video
in a comment section, answer a very simple question.
What light streak do you like better,
orange or blue?
Let's move on and check out the landscape kit.
As I mentioned before,
you get the IPA holder and also P2 holder.
When you look at the P2 holder, you can see that
it can hold 2 filters.
In this landscape kit
there are three filters included.
First one is HD Polarizer. What is this for?
Let's take a look at this clip and keep looking at the water.
When I twist the polarizer, when I turn it in, it will get rid of any of reflection.
You will see how much more detail in the water is, the water gets darker.
It's perfect for a wet days
photography when you are in the woods
and want to take away the reflection, you get the rich tones and colors.
It will really pop.
It's also great for long exposure photos, lake photos.
This is useful in many situations.
Next filter is medium graduated ND
filter. What is this?
Here is a shots without such a filter
and here is a shot with this filter.
Do you see how much more detail you get
in the sky without making the bottom portion of the photo too dark?
Here are some long exposure photos I did, and here's a final photo
after further editing it in Lightroom.
This filter makes a difference between amateur looking snapshot and this
higher level photo.
You can stack with a polarizer to get even better result.
You get a darker sky and you get rid of the reflection.
Last filter is ND64 6 stop.
This is used for long exposure photography.
Now Moment app for example and ReeXpose
and several other apps have new feature added where you don't need such
a filter to take long exposure photos.
However, if you're still prefer to do it
the traditional way,
you might get better results actually, with this filter.
Your will get a lot more details in a photos. And if you happen to have only
this set and wanted to do video, you can shoot in manual mode as
this filter will block the excessive light.
This landscape filter set
can definitely bring the whole iPhone photography to the next level.
In a little while, I'm going to be creating a tutorial
on how to create long exposure photos on iPhone.
I'm really looking forward to this, but now giveaway time. To win
this filter kit,
you must be again subscribed to this channel and write in the comments below
what do you mostly take photos off?
What is your favorite type of photography?
I simply want to know a little bit more about you.
The winners will be announced
in the next video in a comment section. The comment will be pinned to the top.
I have asked Nisi directly if they're planning on releasing more filters
you can purchase separately and add it to those kits.
Their answer was absolutely yes.
And they also asked me to ask you, the audience
what other filters you would like to see down the road.
Links to these products can be found below the video and a video description
for those interested. It's time to put those filters to work
and create some photography and video tutorials. See you in the next video... Cau.. Ahoj...
