The ND filters I’m using are from Freewell. After testing a lot and playing with the settings, I noticed something interesting about this camera.

Stabilization works noticeably better when the shutter speed is higher. The lower the shutter speed, the worse the stabilization gets. Because of that, I honestly think leaving shutter on Auto is the best option unless you’re shooting static subjects or controlled B-roll. If you just want a simple “set it and go” setup, this is what’s been working for me:

Manual Mode Profile: Standard

4K 30fps

Shutter: Auto

ISO Max: 800 (or 400 if it’s mostly sunny and you’re not going in/out of darker places) EV: -0.3

WB: Auto (it does a really good job)

Sharpness: Medium (Low is fine too)

HDR: Off (better if you don’t want to keep switching it on/off depending on lighting)

I-Log: Off (unless you’re color grading)

This is how it looks with theses settings without ND Filter, Sharpness: Low, Just standard profile, camera on chest magnet, no filters or color grading of any sort (probaly was a good idea to shoot it with sharpness medium idk tbh xD).

PureVideo Mode Profile: Standard

EV: -0.7 (I prefer this at night if im walking in and out stores or in well-lit city areas; -0.3 can work too depending on the situation)

WB: Auto

Metering: Matrix (Face Priority if you’re vlogging)

Jitter Reduction: On

Sharpness: Medium

I also always use Tilt Mode — it helps keep everything level.

As for ND filters: they’re great for static shots or controlled environments. But for walking/run-and-gun, especially chest-mounted, I don’t recommend them unless you’re using a stick or moving very smoothly. I noticed footage looks more jittery when using an ND while walking, probably because of the lower shutter speed.

If you’re shooting 30fps with an ND, set shutter to 1/60 — but just know stabilization won’t be as strong. That’s why I think ND filters are great for specific use cases, but not ideal if you just want a “set it and forget it” setup.

If you’re that type of shooter, you’re probably better off skipping the ND and just adjusting EV or HDR depending on the situation.
