Is a 2-in-1 filter actually worth it, or are you better off buying separate glass? In this video, we are doing a deep-dive review on the NEEWER 82mm Variable ND + CPL Filter (ND3-ND64) to see if it deserves a permanent spot in your camera bag.
Combining a 1.5-6 stop Variable ND filter with a Circular Polarizer means you can kill reflections on glass and water while keeping cinematic shutter speeds in bright sunlight—without stacking multiple filters and risking vignetting. We’re putting it to the test for sharpness, color neutrality, build quality, and checking for any unwanted cross-polarization (X-pattern) issues.
Whether you’re shooting automotive video, outdoor B-roll, or travel content, here is the honest, real-world breakdown of this NEEWER 2-in-1 filter.
I’ll also share with you my Canon R6 II settings for using the ND filter and getting the most out of it, and also a trick I use when I want to shoot stills and not mess with settings!
