The 6.5 x 8" Graduated Neutral Density Filter Kit from Hitech has several uses and offers the possibility to achieve otherwise unachievable results. This kit contains�one 0.3, one 0.6 and one 0.9 Graduated Neutral Density filter. These filters enable the shooter to adjust exposure without affecting color balance. A Graduated ND filter appears gray and reduces the amount of light reaching either the sensor of a digital camera or the film plane of a traditional film camera. It is clear at the bottom with a gradual transition to darker gray at the top. Primarily, this filter is used to control exposure when shooting bright landscapes where your horizon line�displays a great exposure difference between sky and foreground, and you need to balance them out for a�pleasing exposure.

A Graduated Neutral Density filter is also used to create some unusual special effects such as capturing the "blur" of the rippling water of a waterfall or the swirling effect of city traffic. Since the filter allows the use of slower shutter speeds in bright light, it becomes possible to create these special effects that would normally be impossible to capture without the filter. And since the ND filter can also help to control your depth of field, it permits you to shoot at wider apertures. Ultimately, its value is in helping to prevent bright, overly washed out images shot in bright light. Soft/Hard designation indicates the degree of transition of the filter. Soft edge grads have a smooth transition from clear to ND. Hard edge grads like the ones included in this kit have a more defined hard line transition and should be used for longer lenses.

Hitech filters are made from CR39 resin. The filters are produced to exacting tolerances that permit you to change filters mid-shoot or from day to day and know that your image quality will remain consistent.

Neutral Density Filters Have Four Main Uses

To enable slow shutter speeds to be used, especially with high speed ISOs, to record movement in subjects such as waterfalls, clouds, or cars
To decrease depth of field by allowing wider apertures to be used, which helps separate subjects from their background
To decrease the effective ISO of high speed film (above ISO 400) and allow it to be used outdoors in bright situations
To allow cine and video cameras (which have fixed shutter speeds) to film subjects such as snow, sand or other bright scenes which could cause overexposure
Absorbing Cell Technology
The secret to Formatt's consistency in filter design lies in its unique "Absorbing Cell Technology" (A.C.T.); this process allows color correct dyes to be applied to optically pure, wafer-thin absorbing cells, and offers a controllability that ensures the smoothest grad lines and consistent color across the whole filter surface
Hitch filters are manufactured to exacting standards and can be counted on to be consistent filter to filter, which means you can change filters mid-shot or from day-to-day and still maintain the same exposure
Hitech filters are made by Formatt, a company with three generations of professional filter-making experience that produces every filter to the highest technical standards. The finest materials, together with state of-the-art production technology, have resulted in a standard of optical excellence unmatched anywhere else

Looks good but but takes work to put it together.
Parts do not fit together well. Had to take a knife to trim top to make it fit. Plastic nuts and bolts. Light works well and stays lit for hours.

Looks Fantastic
Size: 1 Pack
Very easy to install, and looks very nice. It’s made from a durable composite material, not metal, but it’s built well. No one would know that it isn’t metal. On the pricier side for solar lamps, but you’re buying a quality product.

Good product for the price!
Size: 1 Pack, Size: 1 Pack
This light is not bad for being a solar powered product. I have it in the area that receives most of the days sunlight as this area gets full sun (that side of the house gets blasted). The light is on for about 6-7 hours. I am thinking of buying another one. Just note that the housing is plastic.... not super high quality, but it gets the job done for the price point.

More expensive and worth it
Color: Bright White Accent Light
Walk away from those 6 for $49. solar lights and buy some of these. They will cost more in the short run but will save you money in the long run. They are very well made of sturdy aluminum from the light head down to the stake. They have glass crystalline lenses. They look good on the path-modern and somewhat understated. These come in 2 varieties-a 40 lumen and a 60 lumen. I strongly recommend the 60 lumen variety. Aside from being brighter, they have a better solar cell and battery. My lights are still on at 6AM after a prior sunny day which is a new experience for me. They also have external, easily accessible on/off and light color (amber vs bright white) toggle switches. I find this feature unique and a game changer. GamaSonic has really listened to customers and created a noticeably better solar light that checks all of the boxes. I strongly endorse this solar light.

Looks nice but unreliable quality
I was so excited about these lights when they were delivered. Looked well made and illuminated brilliantly. Although, out of the four that I ordered, the first one stoped lighting up the orange light and never lite again after only a months use. The second one stopped illuminating the orange light followed by both lights not illuminating at all after a month in a half of use.
