Hoya ProND 1000 10-Stop Fixed ND (77mm)
An enthusiast-tier 77mm fixed 10-stop ND filter built for long-exposure landscapes, daytime motion blur, and smoothing water and clouds. Ten stops is enough to stretch shutter speeds into seconds in bright light. Being a fixed-strength ND, it does one job well rather than offering variable density, making it the more capable of the two Hoya filters in this batch for dedicated long exposures.

Verdict
Best for
- long-exposure landscapes
- daytime motion blur
- smoothing water and clouds
Who should skip this
- Run-and-gun video shooters — a fixed 10-stop is too dense and inflexible; a variable ND suits changing light
- Handheld shooters — 10 stops forces multi-second exposures that demand a tripod
- Anyone wanting one ND for all uses — this is a long-exposure specialist, not a general video filter
