Mavic Mini ND filter options

[telecam]

Are they any?

I’ve seen a picture of some, but if they are available, not sure.

I bought myself a set of [PGYTECH filters](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000318987670.html) a few days ago. PGYTECH's filters for other models were reasonable quality, so I have high hopes. They should be here in the next week or so, depending on how the gods of shipping treat me.

Edit:
Please do not buy the PGYTech filters. They have been recalled. :/

I’m not sure those are the same filters that I saw recently.
Could be others?

Plenty on eBay

I asked about PGYTech ND filters in an earlier post today but so far no replies. Like av80r I have gone ahead and they have been ordered for me for Christmas also from AliExpress.

There are mainly two that I am aware of:

• PGYTech ND filters (those are recalled)
• JSR (picture here). Product link on aliexpress here

The Glass is identical as it's made by the same German company, however it seems that the JSR filter is installed and fitted different on the Mini.

Found a youtube video about the JSR.

Hope this helps.

Why would you want ND filters for the mini?

You can’t change the shutter speed of video, and can only take JPEG pictures?

 

[netsonic]

There is a workaround for the shutter speed when you lock your exposure to the desired value.

As for the jpeg.. i can definitively live with this limitation.

 

[OldGuy]

I've just cancelled my order from AliExpress.

Hey guys, I've emailed PGY and they said the standard ND filters are unaffected. Only the PL ones are recalled.

 

[Mrveronn]

Tiffen is offering a set of three and six ND and PL filters now for the Mini...

Not true .. ( this video is correct but it's got nothing to do with filters)

In his other video about ND filters he basically says it's pointless on the mm due to the inability to lock shutter speed ..

 

[TDZHDTV]

You are correct you cannot lock shutter speed, however if you have a good understanding of ND filters and associated ambient light you can reduce shutter speeds to good effect.

 

[Gkinghrn]

Yes but at the end of the day it's just guesswork due to that inability to lock it.

We really need the Fw on the mm updated to allow full control ...
