Platinum IRNDs on Epic = BAD

[Daniel Soderberg]

Also curious about experience using a Rosco Trucolor IR Filter? (In front of NDs)

[Ryan Hamblin]

The roscoe is reat though I feel I have had marginally better success from the format HMND. The roscoe filter is also very flimsy and easily breakable and not scratch resistant in the least.

This Video shows me what I feel I Should buy.

This thread prompted me to run a new battery of tests on these newer series of IR control filters. Of particular interest to me was testing out the Tiffen Hot Mirror/IRNDs, the Formatt Hot Mirror/ND and the new Formatt ProStops... I threw in the Schneider Platinums, standard hot mirrors (and combined them with all of the various NDs and IRNDs out there, even inter-mixing brands), as well as True Cut and T1 filters (also combined with NDs and IRNDs)...

Phil was gracious enough to bring his Formatt HM/ND with him and act as a hand model.

We will post some images soon.

Christopher, can't wait!
Many thanks in advance to you and Phil!

Certainly surprising results. I won't spill the beans, but there's a new "good option" for IR protection.

Found out from Formatt that they offer the ProStops in both glass and CR39 resin versions.

Awesome! Can't wait to see.

Looking forward to these tests. Be curious to see if they line up with what I've experienced. And there are some I have never used before so it will be interesting to compare.

We are in the process of compiling and organizing the frame grabs. Will post the Epic results here, though we also ran the same series with the Alexa. I will say each specific camera sensor responds to IR pollution differently and requires its own specific recipe to combat it.
