Mavic air filters

[Bloggy]

Hey folks,

Just looking for some advice regarding filters.

I'll be shooting a lot in the mountains where the sun can be pretty harsh especially when snow is around.

I do a lot of stills photography with my DSLR and have a few filters for this (mainly for long exposures) so I do understand their use a bit but I'm very new to cinematography....

Do any of you guys have a recommendation for a good starting set? Just want something as versatile as possible. I have been looking at the polar pro range but any recommendations would be much appreciated!

Many thanks,

James

This is a great deal from our guys at @fstop.labs

FSLabs DJI Mavic Air Accessories 4K Camera Lens Multicoated Filter pack (6 Pack) ND4, ND8, ND16, ND4/CPL, ND8/CPL, ND16/CPL

I have bought more products from @fstop.labs than any other supplier, hundreds of them, and they care about quality and customer service. They are my go-to guys for this type of thing, gimbal bubbles, cables, lens shades, chargers, etc.

OK I'll look into it... TY!

Although just seen polarpro do custom set, pick what you want. Very useful!

Thats a good choice to have. I have found that it's better to have a filter you dont need rather than to need a filter you dont have. Murphys law

O use taco filters. They are very good and work well with mavics flimsy gimbal. Normally I would say make sure they go up to nd32 but since you are going to be in snowy mountains it might ba a good idea to grab a nd64 as well.

You'll rarely need an ND 4, and often will need more than ND 16. Freewell is coming out with an ND/CPL combo filter set of 8,16,32,64 which are priced right and are multi-coated. Ordered mine today.
