Typical performance form K&F - Excellent.
K&F filters are a name that I have come to trust for excellent quality with an affordable price point. I am not easy on my gear in the kit at times. With that said I still set expectations for my gear knowing that there is a better-than-average chance that it will get used hard, marred, scratched, and sometimes destroyed but until that time, it has to perform, and K&F does just that.
I was a bit hesitant about getting a Variable ND Filter for my Pocket 3 it is persnickety enough without adding to the mix spinning an adjustment wheel to get the right filtration for my shooting. So far I have had no issues and no warnings about the gimble locking into protection mode. and I do like being able to tune to what looks best for me and sometimes that is somewhere in between steps.
I shoot everything 4K 24 or 60 with an ISO never over 400 and prefer 100-200 for as much as I can. this variable ND does allow me to keep everything in perspective with no blowouts and my motion blur in camera not post is perfect.
The magnet on this filter is excellent and it stays put so I have no worries about that. the adjustments are simple and as I shared easy enough to not stress the gimbal. Plus the gimbal will go into lens protection mode when turned off meaning that it closes completely.
There is only one thing that I have found after hours or use that does bother me a bit. Many lower-quality variable ND Filters will have an artifact or black box effect when pushing the filter to its maximum performance level sometimes leaving the operator with just not enough filter for the shot. This filter has a similar issue but from everything, I can tell it only happens after passing the last stop and then moving back to the first stop. I guess that I would prefer a first to last stop then back over the 360° of this filter. Not a deal breaker by any means just a bothersome observation.
All that said, I find that I am leaving this variable ND Filter on camera all the time because it's just that good.

Remember life is lived in a natural motion blur, capture it with every frame.
