Why ND 8 32 128 ?

[akdrone]

I have found 16 and 64 to be most commonly used ND filters. You have to really hit the correct filter with the drones that have a fixed aperture and for the life of my I can't figure out why DJI chose those strengths for the Mini 5 Pro. I have never used a 128. I've used a 1000 for stills of waterfalls. Any thoughts on that set? I am leaning toward getting a more complete set from Freewell.

My guess is the 8 is a hold over from filters being used a "clear" lens covers.

Being in AK, you've probably never seen sunlight rays strong/bright enough to warrant a 128.

Soon sunlight will be a vague recollection. (actually we still get about 4 hours of twilight at the darkest here in North Pole).

Are you in " 30 days of night" territory?
