It clicks into place satisfyingly using magnets and feels great quality despite being absolutely tiny. The effect it gives is really pretty when you're shooting a scene with bright points of light against a relatively dark background. It adds a 6 pointed sparkle to each point of light and you can turn the filter to adjust the angle of the sparkles.
Although it only really affects bright points of light I've noticed that it can also create a slight haze effect around larger lights. That's not necessarily a negative because it helps to blend the effect into the rest of the scene and is actually quite pretty in itself. Just something wort being aware of. If there are no bright spots (like lights) in the scene then you're better off removing the filter so it's obviously not something you'd want to fit and forget. Just as well it's so easy to put on and take off.
I'm really enjoying the effect and while it might be considered a bit much by some I think it really adds an extra element to footage where it makes sense such as shooting Christmas lights in the dark for example.
