I took delivery on my backup sets of the Renaat ND filters for the I1 and wanted to do some comparisons on the different levels and quality of results between each filter. Let me first state that I am not a professional in any way and strictly a hobbyists so my methods of evaluating may be a bit odd vs that of a professional.
My tests include the following –
I had originally thought I was going to have some more time to get a full comparison done on the Renaat ND filters over the Memorial Day weekend that I purchased but even with the long weekend I found myself with very little flight time.
I will finish the tests this weekend over the next couple of days including. After all I will post my opinions and personal findings after ALL of the tests are done this week and post each of the test updates on this original post.
Attached are the results from test #1.....
My tests include the following –
- Single setting daytime altitude test with all lenses with same angle, time, altitude and physical position without change of any camera settings. (Completed 5-26)
(Time of test 6:45pm, Sun was just out of the North West at about 10 o’clock from my position with an elevation of 24.24°with the I1 shooting to the south.Sunset on day of test at 8:15 at Azimuth 279.9° at an elevation of -.83°, Golden hour was estimated at 6:46 p.m. – 7:46p.m.,)
- Variable setting test of each filters with same respective physical position, altitude and image (snapshot) being shot however making adjustments to shutter speed, exposure settings etc (all documented) to achieve the same settings on the histogram.
- Variable setting test of each filters with similar respective physical flight pattern, altitude, etc (video) being shot however making adjustments to shutter speed, exposure settings etc (all documented) to achieve the same settings on the histogram. (Right before golden hour so that a shot in the direction of the sun is accomplished in the flight loop.
