Single DJI ND filter

[tony56shooter]

I have lost my DJI ND 4 filter. I must have not got it locked on all the way and it fell off in flight. Does anyone know of somewhere I can purchase just the one filter?

Have a great weekend,

Tony

If you want the DJI brand filter, I do not. But I can highly recommend PGYTech's ND filters. You can find the ND4 here: Amazon.com: Hooshion 1 Pack RC Quadcopter Lens Filter Accessories ND4 ND 4 HD Filter Set for DJI MAVIC Pro Camera Lens UV Circular Polarizer Neutral Density Filters Parts (G-HD ND4): Automotive

DJI does not sell their filters separately. If you want to buy a new set, you can find them here on Amazon or directly on DJI's website here. Perhaps you could sell the other two you don't need.

I'm new, just what are these filters?

We're talking about ND (Neutral Density) filters. They are most commonly used to help capture cinematic video footage or cut down reflections from reflective surfaces (e.g. water).

NoDust filters are fitted to the front of the camera to stop dust getting on the lens.
Depending on how dusty the atmosphere is, you change to higher rated filter.
They are a fine steel mesh which inhibits the view somewhat, but as long you fly dust free, that is the mission.

you.re so silly

Thank you Mr. Salty. I received my ND filter that you suggested and it works great. It goes on the camera lens perfectly. It is high quality and does its job very well.

Thanks again,

Tony

I would highly recommend getting the Polar Pro series filters, they are easier to get on and off and made of much more durable material! Check this review out if you're interested- Flyby Media | London based drone operator

This is only for video ? I thought it was also helpful for photography. Did I miss something ?

Thks

Polarized ND filters could be helpful for shooting photos over reflective surfaces (e.g. water). Otherwise, you probably won't benefit from using them.

Best throw the ones for my dslr away then

it can help with smoothing out moving objects like water and traffic

That too. It's probably not a common use case for drones though.

Your ND filter did that? Looks like more of a shutter speed thing to me? BTW Great Pictures!

 

[Kilrah]

Yep, but the ND filter is what makes the choice of shutter speed possible.

Freewell does sell singles. There are no singles on freewellgear.com but if you send them a message that you want one they will provide you with a link to buy one.
Their filters are good multi-coated filters and are very light. No problem calibrating your gimbal with those filters mounted.

So even if there is a lot of brightness ND won't help me to have a better picture ?

Seems we're not the first to have problems with dust and our MP

Why are there no dust filters on the Mac Pro?

No. Shoot your photos in auto mode and the camera will auto adjust as the lightning conditions change.
