4k pocket Nd filters to match 6k pro internal

PostTue Jul 06, 2021 1:35 am

Hi all, my first post on the forum, I did do a search but to no avail, could be user error? Anyway, I have a well outfitted pocket 4k with a Xl metabones and a tilta cage with all the bells and whistles, I have been using a Simmod variable Nd filter on it happily until now. I bought a 6k pro a few weeks ago and and a pair of smallrig matte boxes for each camera, I’m trying to figure out what brand 100mm x 150mm mattebox Nd filters I should buy that would serve best on my pocket 4k to closely match the internal Nd filters of the pocket 6k? I figured someone might know what glass Blackmagic used in the 6k pro or? It would pay to know and potentially save myself a ton of camera color matching in post
Thanx for any info!

You are better off buying good filters, that include IR filtering, like NiSi, Firecrest or similar. The Pocket 4K and 6K cameras are not going to match image, even if you had same filters on each camera, as the sensors are different. You are going to have to match them in post production.
Cheers

Thanx, I ended up going with the 100x150 NiSi IR/ND’s 2,4,6 stops for now, the polarizer is likely my next purchase
