Hello everyone, I’m Xiaolong. Some time ago, I received the H&Y RevoRing MarkII Variable Neutral Density + Circular Polarizer Filter. Today I’d like to share with you my actual experience of using this filter.
Compared with the previous generation, the second generation has added three independent locking levers, each of which can be fixed separately, making the operation more flexible. Its REVORING structure adopts a telescopic bayonet design. When installing, you only need to retract the filter diameter to the lens size, align it, rotate it clockwise a few times, and then tighten the lever.
After actual car shooting tests, no matter how intense the shooting, the filter is firmly fixed on the lens, and there is no risk of it falling off. Moreover, its variable bayonet design covers the commonly used lens diameters from 67mm to 82mm. When changing lenses, there is no need to repeatedly disassemble and install the filter, and single-soldier combat can also be easily handled.
H&Y's adjustable ND filter has an adjustable range from ND3 to ND1000. When shooting during the day, the amount of light entering can be greatly reduced by adjusting the lever. In this way, even in strong light conditions, the video shutter speed can be maintained at twice the frame rate, avoiding the loss of dynamic blur due to the shutter being too fast, making the motion picture smoother and full of movie feeling.
For those who like to shoot slow-motion videos with a large aperture during the day, this filter can also make the picture have a stronger motion blur effect, and the atmosphere is directly maximized.
It is worth mentioning that H&Y's adjustable ND filter performs well in controlling color cast and cross-shaped patterns. In actual measurements, there is almost no obvious color cast or pattern, and the color reproduction is very natural.
In addition to ND filters, H&Y REVORING MKII also integrates a CPL (polarizer) function. Simply rotate the lever in the middle, adjust it to the appropriate position and lock it, and you can filter polarized light in a specific direction, effectively reducing glare on non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass, and plant leaves. For friends who take photos of cars and landscapes, this function is simply a "cheat".
What’s even more surprising is that its magnetic design can superimpose a black soft filter to soften highlights, reduce contrast, and easily create a beautiful atmosphere. One filter, three functions, it’s so practical!
The second generation of H&Y REVORING solves the pain points of traditional adjustable ND filters such as color deviation, low efficiency and single function through three-in-one function integration, optical performance enhancement and magnetic suction system innovation.
Whether you are a travel photographer, a one-person video team, or a creator pursuing a cinematic look, this filter can meet your needs. Its design logic directly targets the core needs of fast creation scenarios - reducing the burden on equipment and improving the reliability of film production, allowing you to shoot professional-level blockbusters anytime, anywhere.
In short, the H&Y REVORING MKII VND+CPL Filter is a tool truly tailored for creators. If you also want to be more free and efficient in shooting, you might as well try this filter. I believe it will bring you unexpected surprises!
