I think I will take your advice on getting the CPL filter and forgetting about it. Is there any condition in which the CPL filter would have a negative impact on videos/photos? Thanks.

Here's a tip I saw over on Polar Pro. Let's say one filter is not dark enough, but the next one up reduces light too many stops. Going to ISO 200 will Halve the stops an ND Filter produces. So you have a 16, and next strongest is an ND64. USE THE 64 at ISO 200. Result is ND 32 Equivalent, or very close 🤔 how slick is that? I tested the method, (and actually HAD the ND32 filter from above scenario and it matched it spot on. Other examples work too! Try it (even though that Freewell set gives you every ND ever known to mankind!

Great video!! thanks for clearing up what to use when

Your footage gives my goosebumps. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for your hot content! I have a Freewell filter set too and I live in Brazil, we have a hard and strong light almost the entire year and this filters made the difference between a blue and burst sky. 🎉

I like using an ND16 on my M3 Standard when doing hyoerlapses at night. It also me to use a 1, 1.6, or 2 second shutter for long exposure to get the light streaks from cars passing by

Great video!, always useful knowing about what ND filters are for. Question: could you please make a video about how to clean all ND filters?

@DMProductions

the problem with this you are trusting the software to do the correct thing, instead of reducing the shutter it might increase the ISO in auto which will result in grainy footage

Thanks for the video ! I had a mini 3 Pro for which I had DJI ND filter set and Freewell ND/CP set-. When I started using the ND/CP filters, I got sun reflection artifacts, light leaks too many times, what I didn't get when using the original ND filters. I realized that the structure of the turnable polarizer might cause it, because the simpler, dark glass of the ND filter somehow prevents it. Could you confirm this phenomenon ? I've just bought a Mini4 Pro and a bit clueless which set to buy, a 6 pack ND filter set, or the 6 pack ND/CP set. Dont wanna buy both. Thank you !

Hmm - would you do mini 4 or air 3 for a trip to Europe from US? I don't mind getting the license so much

Do these filters weigh more than 1gram each. ?

I'm thinking the CPL filter and leaving it on there might be the best option for me. Are there any cases when it would be bad to leave on the CPL filter (i.e. night mode, videos, etc)??

Are there fog filters, darkness filters, low pilot spirit filters as well? Filters against secret or prohibited objects? JOKING! As the Mini 4 pro uses the same camera sensor as several other modells the theory should be the same. Cheers.

Hey there even DJI filters are made of PC they should not me made of metal considering the weight restriction & keeping your drone under 250 mark.

I'm useing only nd16 nd32 nd64, cpl and lpr. The rest of them r useless.

Can someone remind me of the math to do in order to determine the right filter to get the right shutter speed? In other words, if I have no filter on the drone and the shutter speed is 1/1000 of a second, and I want it to be 1/60. I know there is a way to calc which filter will get me there without trial and error. Appreciate it!

@user-wi7vu5hv8g

6 ай бұрын

Divide 1000 by 2 =500 (1 stop) divide 500 by 2 = 250 (1 stop) 250/2 = 125 (1 stop) 125/2 =~ 60 (1 stop) so you cut the light by 1+1+1+1=4 stops The ND filter that cuts 4 stops is the ND16 (=2^4) ND32 (=2^5) cuts 5 stops ND64 (=2^6) cuts 6 stops ... ND1000 (=2^10) cuts 10 stops If you study the basics of photography you 'll undestand what to do with filters and how to calculate "stops" easily

Do they knock it over 250g ?

Anyone else preferring the unfiltered look? Looks so much more natural.

I would use shutter speed of 1/50 at 30 fps. There is no need to use 1/60. Besides, in Europe lights flicker if you use anything that is not divisible by 50. If I would shoot at 60 fps then I would use shutter speed of 1/100. Gerald Undone has made a great video about shutter speed and motion blur that debunks the traditional "180 degree rule"
