Filter for Mavic Mini

[Patrick Bergeron]

I would like to know if you ever use filter with Mavic Mini.

We can find some on ebay but I don't think the quality of photo or video is really good with them for the price.

see this example: Détails : Sunnylife MCUV CPL ND/PL ND4/8/16/32 Lens Filter For DJI Mavic Mini Gimbal Lens | eBay

Please give me your advice

Thanks

The link seems broken for me but I found what might be them via a search on 'my' ebay, interesting and cheap. I'll watch this with interest. Given the size of the camera etc. they might be fiddly to fit but that's not the filters' fault.
I'd be really interested in graduateds.

Just be aware that anything you add to your Mini will put it over the 250 gm. limit.

I bought the Tiffen set....so far, so good. I seem to recall reading somewhere that they did not take it over the limit...

I've got ND4/8/16/32 set and ND-PL4/8/16/32 set from Sunnylife. Roughly £25 each kit on eBay.
Videos look good to me, but I'm not a pro video maker (actually I'm not a video maker at all).

This was done with ND-PL 32:

I don't have a precision scale, but the weight is no even 1g

Great video. I’m a former single sculler so it was fun to see the towers on the water. Beautiful place. Thanks.

I purchased a Taisioner CPL Filter from Amazon which I am well pleased with. I leave it on all the time and it does not interfere with the gimble protector. It gives a nice picture and protects the camera lens which is one of the main reasons I purchased it.

I wanted to buy some of those filters but I don't like forcing the gimbal to put them on ,it feels very fragile..

Use care and make sure drone is off when doing it.

I am using filters from Freewell. As others mentioned, due to the size of the drone, you need to be very careful when putting these on and off (i find more difficult removing them). Their weight, looking at a couple of YT videos, seems to be around 1 gram.

I am using the Tiffen filters, and while they are helpful, I too find it frustrating to put them on and remove. The MM is hard to hold, then you have to hold the gimbal...and try to avoid touching the filter glass....I have analogies for this...but they're not "family friendly". Something along the lines of putting birth control on a small insect...

I use the SunnyLife CPL filter, and am very pleased with it. I keep it on all the time, it seems to bring out the colors, sky, and clouds. I haven't flown with it in low light yet, that's my next test.
