How does Robert Silver control
outdoor exposure with Freewell NDs?

Solo filmmaking workflow with the Freewell x Dunna Did It Ultra Slim Locking ND kit and CPL on a Lumix S1II, uploaded Oct 6, 2026.

Direct answer: Robert Silver shows how Freewell x Dunna Did It locking ND filters let him keep natural motion blur and shallow depth of field in bright sun while filming alone. He unboxes the ultra-slim kit, mounts it on his Lumix S1II, compares no-ND vs filtered exposure, then uses the CPL outdoors to cut glare on reflective surfaces.

Quick overview

This ~11-minute review is a practical solo-shooting demo, not a lab test. Silver starts with the outdoor exposure problem (too much light forces a fast shutter or a closed aperture), then walks through the Freewell x Dunna Did It fixed ND strengths and the matching circular polarizer. Chapters cover unboxing, mounting on the camera rig, shade work, and CPL use in the field.
