In my opinion, and I’m always on a limited budget so there may be a better solution if your budget is limitless, the True Cut 715 is a good choice. It lives in my Misfit Matte box. I’ve also used the 86mm B+W 486 MRC when I want a screw-on solution.
There may be debate about which strength is best as a 700nm and 750nm were also available but I took the conservative option believing anything stronger is too aggressive. I understand most seem to shoot somewhere around 680nm but that is clearly visible deep red, not near infrared. Even selecting 700nm is better than 680nm.
I know, I may be burned at the stake for saying that. Out of respect for the dead though, if you’re recording me being burned at the stake, please don’t use a 680nm filter!
