Is gold or black more effective as a privacy filter? Gold seems more expensive, does price/color influence the level of privacy?

I have owned both types in the past, to me they seemed equally effective in terms of privacy.

I have not owned a gold one but if you adjust your brightness on the black one it is very hard to see. Plus you have the shiny and matte finish to the black one so you could flip it and play with it to see what works.

One frame with a white filter (translucent fabric for diffusing bright glaring light). There are two different covers with a total of four surfaces for reflecting/blocking light: white, black(absorbing obviously), silvered fabric and gold fabric. To me, the white filter and the white reflector are the most useful and the item is worth getting just for these. Haven't found the silver useful yet, but I haven't had it that long either. Gold(ish) coloration can be added in post processing in software. Hope this helps.

yes, the black looks way better in my opinion and it is easier to keep it clean...hope this helps :)

No. It makes it very private. That's why I got this. BTW, I've had several comments about how nice this looks. One person actually thought it was the glass !

Caviar Green is the most cost effective and quietest for general use. Caviar Blue will provide a bit more performance at a slightly higher cost and increase in spin noise. Caviar Black is the fastest, noisiest and most expensive. Depending on how demanding your usage requirement are, how sensitive you are to noise and how fat your wallet is...it's up to you...though daily large file usage might suggest a compromise with Blue.

Yes, I have both the Light and Platinum on my home and can honestly say the difference is very hard to see. From the outside they both seem to look as reflective and from the inside the platinum may be a bit darker looking but not by much. I like both and have no complaints but just trying to help.

Yes, it does block well for privacy. The light shines through but it is diffused and cannot be defined from the outside. I am very pleased with the results for privacy issues.

The silver empties out the bottom. That's also where the air flow comes through. The gold has a solid bottom and has air holes in the side for the flow. The gold has a wire that locks down the lid. As you can see the gold is better for travel and camping. The Silver is better option for back yard. If your porch has a wood floor the Silver might not be safe because of the chance of coals slipping past the catch plate.

Absolutely... I personally don't like using paper, but it is much easier For cleaning. Leave the gold filter in place, won't hurt, then just a quick rinse.

I have the black, gray and green curtain. It's thin enough to allow light in, but still able to provide plenty of privacy. Hope this helps.

Nope, I haven't purchased the camera yet. And both gold and brown sound beautiful. Hmm - this isn't making the decision any easier.

We have both kinds. The white one can see collected dust better, when you clean it. The black works just as good, but you don't see that much dust on filter.collected

It is absolutely a 360 privacy... The screen appears just darker than usual for the user but at any other angle it is complete privacy

hello Steven, I am not sure if the Gold factor will make a significant impact on deflecting heat. I am sure it will make a good heat deflector as long as there is great insulating material beneat the surface. i once saw a youtube vid test of the gold tape and it worked great. i do not know what material the Gold one is made of you are considering. this one has fiberglass type of material which works good for me. if the gold is the look you are going for, I would say that will make you happyer than a few degrees difference in insulating heat, but personally if you are a nerd like me, go for aluminum like this one as aluminum is one of the brightest most reflective metals known to mankind, so it will definitely go good at reflecting light and other types of radiation... =)

I would say no privacy whatsoever. I am looking through mine at the back yard right now, and there is barely any difference to the unscreened patio door panel right next to it.

I really don't know. It is a plastic film -- sort of like Saran wrap, but maybe 4 times as thick. It has a pattern, which might catch the light. It is kind of opaque (but lets in daylight) -- which is why it is good for privacy. Don't know if this information helps.
