    ND filters for bright daylight

    Yeah, I shoot with a polarizer on my SLR all the time but on a drone I think it's going to be a huge pain unless you really carefully plan out your shots. ND on the other hand is a must-have for video. Although I should revise the previous post, my darkest filter is 16 and as I mentioned isn't...

    ND filters for bright daylight

    I ended up getting a 8/16/32 set of filters from aliexpress for like $15 because there was nothing else available anyway. They don't seem to mess up the color or sharpness, the only concern is that they don't screw on, but have some sort of foamy ring that's the only thing holding them to the...

    Wedding photography suggestions

    I'd second this. Maybe even same day if scheduling allows it, but I'd do a ton of b-roll, establishing shots of the church, cars pullin in, etc.

    ND filters for bright daylight

    Thanks. I think I'll go with the 8/16/32 kit for now then. Freewell filters are available here but strangly only for the Air 2. It's really weird, the Air 1 was discontinued only fairly recently and there's already hardly anything you can buy for it.

    ND filters for bright daylight

    I got my Air last year and due to covid only really had a few opportunities to fly it, but the fast shutter speed was definitely an issue in my videos. Looking to buy some ND filters, I saw that the kits usually go ND 8/16/32, some kits have 64 but also useless polarizing and UV filters. Sadly...

    Mavic Air fan always spins at full speed

    There's a small one under the top cover, you can't really see it. It probably turns on based on the measured temperature, so when it's cold out, it's less likely to turn on.

    Where can I buy this cover?

    I know this is and old thread but gonna bump it in case someone has seen these covers since then. That ebay seller isn't an option, not only it's $16 bucks for ONE cover, they only have white and red ones, and I need black. I could spray paint them I suppose but they do get some wear so I'm...

    Air 1 gimbal repair - won't calibrate

    Well. Anyway :) I was literally one click away from ordering a new (used) gimbal for $50 from aliexpress, but decided to give it another go. It's not just the fifty bucks, but also I might have to wait months for it to arrive while the drone was sitting in bits on my desk. So I opened it...

    Air 1 gimbal repair - won't calibrate

    Hi all, A few months ago I got a used Air for a specific project. It did the job, but the gimbal had been repaird at some point before and would sometimes get stuck and not keep completely horizontal. I got a replacement gimbal from aliexpress (just the case/motors) and swapped it. After...
