Graduated ND Filters for Holy Grail? - zjdoliver - 2018-07-09

Hi, I wanted to know if anyone has experience with the following 3 methods; ND Filters, Graduated ND Filters and Variable ND Filters and would be so kind to share their experiences?

Thank you

ND filters are essetial tools for timelapse photography.
Graduated ND not so, because they are too weak and Variable ND filters are not suited at all because they are also too weak and if you set them to a strong dim, they will cause nasty shading effects.
Just go for an 8x, 64 and 1000x ND and that would be all you need for timelapse.
