    DJI Mavic Green Water

    Hello all! First post here and fairly new Mavic Owner! I've been taking some photos/videos in Clearwater FL, and I ended up buying PolarPro ND filters to try them out. In my photos/video I ended up with _really_ green water. I'm curious if it was due to a camera setting I may have changed or...

    Long exposures and ND filters

    Anyone here do long-exposure still photography with their drone? If so, how do you manage it? I watched a couple of YouTube videos on the subject yesterday and almost bought a few neutral density (ND) filters of the darker variety. I already have a set of PolarPro ND filters (ND4, ND4/PL, ND8...

    Dialling in Mavic Air settings ...

    I've only had the Air just over a week and have spent much of my air time so-far slowing down the sticks to my liking for smooth video and fine tuning the camera/video settings. Late evening test flight yesterday with a Pgytech ND4/PL Pro filter, much better results given the lighting conditions...

    ND vs ND/PL

    I'm new to both this website and the world of Mavic drones. I've had several Phantoms over the years. I'm sure this topic has been discussed before, but maybe someone can give me a quick rundown. I just bought these filters (based on a friend's recommendation)...

    ND OR NOT

    Folks - Still quite new to this and on a steep learning curve! I have been using Polar Pro ND 8 & 16 with slow shutter speeds for cinematic video. I have noticed that very often trees or grass can appear blurred or like watercolour paint while the rest of the footage is in focus. Yesterday I...

    ND filters - worth it for bright conditions?

    Off to Spain for 4 months so will be doing a lot of filming on bright days/over the ocean etc. Is it worth investing in some ND filters? I've seen a lot about how they help with motion blur but that's not something I'm too concerned about as I'll be filming more scenic settings rather than...

    Mavic Air ND filters

    I'm choosing ND filters (non polarized) between DJI filters and Polar Pro. DJI’s are currently out of stock and I’m wondering if someone had a chance to test them? Polar Pro has shutter and standard collections and what I understand from description is the only difference in coating? Is it...

    Exposure Value

    Had my mavic pro out for a flight the other day on a bright sunny day at the beach. I was trying to achieve 4K 24fps with 1/50 shutter speed using a cheap neewer ND32 filter to get that "perfect cinematic look". To my surprise the exposure meter was somewhere in the +1 to +1.5 area. Is it time...

    ND Filter- What do you think of this concept

    Looking around for ND Filters for my Mavic and of course saw all the ones you snap or twist right over the lens, read and saw all the videos that said just be gentle with the install and removals, etc... So was looking on Alliexpress and saw these and thought hmmm. What do you all think. I...
