The GoPro Neutral Density filters are a great all in one slip on product that can be used for many reasons. The main reason is to reduce motion blur. Cameras with high shutter speed make some images ,like when driving down the road, very blurry. The ND filter reduces blurry images giving images a high-speed look and feel. This filter also darkens the image for overexposed situations like a sunny day. The ND filter comes in 2 "stops" ND4 and ND8. Each "stop" has to do with how dark the filter is, so the lower the number the lighter the filter. With a darker filter it "slows" the image more. It will reduce the amount of light that the video has causing a normal overexposed (too much light) to be less exposed creating a much better video. These lenses are made of a polycarbonate, so they are very strong and light weight.
ND4 filter: Excels during later hours because it darkens the video, less than the ND8, while giving it a high speed look but does not block out to much light for the video.
ND8 filter: Best during earlier hours or with more light. With a darker filter it "slows" the image more, so this means that it will reduce the amount of light that the video has causing a normally overexposed (too much light) to be less exposed creating a much better video.
