DJI Mavic 2 Zoom - See What Camera Filters Can Do For You

[@lifestyleunleashed8046]

Beautiful scenery and a great demonstration of the filters. I'm looking forward to all the videos this week featuring freewell gear.

[@leftouthobbyist7586]

Thank you Steve and James for your time and video on the Mavic 2 Voom with the Freewell gear ND and Polorized filters. Definitely are going to purchase them for my Zoom. As always thank you for you time and look forward to more great videos.

[@Tomas.O.Sullivan]

what a super spot for flying great video

[@thepeddle]

Canadian fall looking great. And the Freewell Gear helped!

[@marekswan5093]

Do the freewell filters screw on?looks like a good bit of gear!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Marek Swan Yes, they screw on nice and secure.

[@armstrongproductions2026]

As you go darker with the filters are you increasing the shutter speed to compensate for the amount of light getting into the lense ? ,

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Michael, it is the opposite. The entire reason you use ND filters is to slow the shutter speed. This removes Props from the frame and smooths out the video.

[@MatthewHinmanTexas]

Wow... just got my M2Z last week, and this little thing is amazing! Best addition to my fleet!

[@topilot]

Were you in auto mode for white balance, ISO and shutter speed when doing all of the tests with various filters on? It would be interesting to see what effect the ND filters would have had on shutter speed, etc on a cloudy day.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Tom Gilmore The ND filters pretty much cut the shutter speed in half or more. White Balance was a challenge due to the sun and cloud.

[@uksewingmachineservice7030]

Great drone nice flying

[@chillimocha]

Hi Captain is there anyway you can please reply with the camera configuration you used for filming? I am having a really hard time here trying to get decent footage in similar weather conditions when flying. Was this in manual or automatic? Shutter speed? Frame rate? EV? Thanks,

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

This video was entirely shot in AUTO settings due to the changing lighting conditions. There was no post production video processing or coloring, the video is straight out of the camera. The filters ND and Polarized helped of course.

[@chillimocha]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Interesting....thanks for letting me know. I have been trying to nail filming on overcast days using white balance set to Cloudy and all other settings on manual, and the results have been disappointing. Washed out colours and the sky just a bright white with no detail. Next time in these conditions will be trying it in auto to see how we go.

[@sh00t01]

chillimocha I always set exposure compensation to -0.7 or -1. There’s a chance you’re recording in D-cinelike mode so the image gets dull. Put an eye on style as well: sharpness, contrast and saturation. Good luck

[@johnhgv]

That is the Freewell Gear that I need! Excellent review and video!

[@RyanEasby]

Just got the Freewell essential 6 pack. Excellent quality filters. Great review!

[@nevahboat]

Time to pack up my gear and go find some water from from a freewill; neighbors charge too much. Your work is outstanding. Thanks

[@derekquinones8614]

I’m still learning a lot I have a zoom, will those new variable filters through free well be fine for all around I’m not a professional please help ?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yes, they are great for everything.

[@andrewaltschwager5000]

Freewell gear seems to always get great reviews and it's easy to see why. Great vid.

[@scottkirby2813]

Does freewell offer any gear for yuneec typhoon

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I believe they make ND filters for the Typhoon

[@ASangueD]

Are you using auto video settings? I’ve found that using ND filters with auto settings can trigger a slower shutter speed and a more open aperture to allow more light through the filter. Occasionally, this has caused a loss of clarity outside the main focal point and motion blurriness . Thanks. Freewell Gear.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yup, motion blurriness is what you are after with ND Filters. The motion blur will be along the bottom of the image when flying forward or backwards. If you pan too fast, then the entire image will blur. The ISO was on 100 and the exposure was left to its own along with the shutter speed which became slower as darker filters were added.

[@sseabourne]

Hi, Do Freewell do variable nd filters for zoom.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Not at this moment.

[@Edge-dy9fh]

Sometimes when I ride my bike, I like to take it out of GEAR and FREEWHEEL. Is that close enough, to win?

[@neoterixx3440]

Im loving that Freewell Gear 😍

[@mountforestaerial]

My Zoom will be here tomorrow on V-Day :) Another wonderful video, Captain!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The Zoom is a great drone (very well made). Plenty of tech in it.

[@srministro]

Thanks for the video, I had a M2 Zoom and had no filter yet. These freewell filters looks as a good gear to get.

It seems that the gear you use with Freewell and the Mavic 2 zoom are quite interesting, keep on those nice product evaluation !

[@Swindie]

Gosh, Freewell Gear is the absolute best!

[@jacobtimney7844]

Hi, awesome footage, just wondering what your settings were when flying the ND4?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The white balance was on sunny and that is about it. The exposure was on auto. The ND filter helped out.

[@907nvl]

Great video 👍

[@pilotoymaquina4280]

Why did you didnt explain the settings of the camera on the drone? that goes side by side with the type of filter you are using

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Settings were on AUTO as indicated in the video

[@Xrainox]

great video !! a question, are the Mavic settings automatic or manual?

[@kohle65]

nd filter shouldnt change the image, only the shutter speed. Polarized filters change descent the color of water, sky... The weather and light conditions seems to be changing from time to time in the video. For me it would be nice to see the values of the shutter speed and the aperture for each filter, because of the fix iso 100.

[@famillemartin202]

Hello You are or exactly in Quebec, very beautiful video with its autumn colors ??? I just bought the pro 2 super drone, but I'm going to buy some filters, because I did some video shooting in full sun and often I have the image moving towards the propellers, when the camera and in the sun field, it fucks everything in the area my video.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yes, filters (ND 16) used on a sunny day will keep the props out of the frame.

[@bryandooley5453]

Is the Freewell Gear just for Mavics?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Freewell filters are for all DJI drones, Autel drones, Parrot drones and I think Yuneec. Most gear is for DJI or GoPro.

[@AlessandroOmetto]

freewell nd filters gear just ordered for m my Mavic 2 Pro! can't wait...

[@jonathanpierre7091]

Hey Captain Drone and the drone followers on this channel. I took my Mavic 2 Zoom out flying, and when it returned after 15 mins, the battery was swollen, (sticking out of the drone). I purchased this drone November 2018 and I wrote DJI on the subject. They told me that the battery is out of the warranty period however, I never overcharged the batteries and I follow the battery care from DJI. Anyone had that experience before? Do any have an idea what may have caused it? the only thing i did different on that day is using an ipad 10.5 for the first time and I was also recording in 4K @ 30fps. Any help into the cause would help with the new battery when I get one.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Lipo batteries will swell after a few years of use. They also swell if they are suddenly drained of power quicker than they can handle, or if they were fully charged and not used for a long time, or they were dropped or over charged. I had a few Mavic Pro batteries that began to swell after two years of use.

[@jonathanpierre7091]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you for your response, I think I'm guilty of having it charge and use it once a week, maybe two.

[@unclebuck5957]

Love the Gear from Freewell,have filters and cases

[@davemalcom5257]

Love to have those Freewell filters to add to my gear.

[@ce-750pilot3]

Captain! What a beautiful location to send out the Mavic 2 Zoom and capture the vibrant colors of Canada in the Fall! I now have a Mavic 2 Pro and a Zoom, because I couldn’t decide which one I wanted! But they are both fantastic drones! Freewell filters are awesome, and I own some Polar Pros which I think are just as good! Great review, once again, Captain...until next time!😃🛩

[@hoochyfad1]

All Freewell Gear is world class. Hopefully I can check it out myself soon 🤗

[@TingdelaVega]

Another great video Captain Drone! Those are great filters for the Mavic Zoom! Would be great to win some Freewell Gear! Thanks again for another great video, well done!

[@OliverGeistbeck]

Nice clip. I sure hope to win the Freewell Gear.

[@fanisvitouladitis6663]

Free well gear are great filter ineed it for my anafi

[@SCAerialsSteveCarpenter]

Steve, Wow, what a beautiful area to fly, especially due to the Fall change in colors. Great video footage, but I do have a question, what were you're ISO setting on the Zoom, Auto or Manual? Thanks again for another great review!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The ISO was set to 100 and the shutter was left to do what it wanted to do as the ND Filters were added to reduce light.

[@SCAerialsSteveCarpenter]

CAPTAIN DRONE Thank You!

[@fuzzbuzz9614]

I'm hooked on freewell gear & my mavic 2 zoom really need this filters🤞

[@Altaruss]

Really sad you can't switch the optics Pro Zoom... Also sad they didn't comme with the same mount, so we can use the same freewell gear on either drone ^^

[@carlstarke22]

Love freewell gear

[@josemanuelgalvanrangel1517]

I fell the need to buy nearly all the gear from freewell you show on your videos... ;)

[@jamesgruhn-n0dfi647]

Looks like a few days of flying to try all the Freewell filters.

[@chrisbaishdrones]

I recognise freewell gear when I see it...

[@kennywiggins4963]

[@alexppp230]

Gear Amazing also here in italy:)

[@JK-ug7rm]

what is the location?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

In the northern hills of the Province of Quebec in Canada.

[@famillemartin202]

Thanks to his latest video about DJI Crystalsky, I finally found the place. Belvedere Étienne-Brûlé in Chelse, Quebec

[@dapicsproductions7549]

Showing us the different filters is great, but not including the camera settings leaves us incomplete...

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

We left the settings on AUTO so that as the camera turned from dark (clouds) to light (sun) the image continued to look good.

[@tigrenoir17]

It wasn't the best condition to test these filters, but the results are pretty convincing. I watched several of yours videos, you are often speaking about Freewell's products, but they look to be quality product.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I used to review Polar Pro as well as many other brands, but then soon realized, the glass is all the same. The difference is in the build quality and the number of coatings on the glass so that the oils on your fingers don't cause it to remove. Freewell filters have an outstanding build quality, so I kinda like them. But, a filter is a filter, so pick whichever brand you find.... except the super low cost brands like Neewer (those are crap).

[@tigrenoir17]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 It's like a classic camera, always avoid cheap material. But it's good to know there are some good quality brand for drone's accessory. Thank you for the information.

[@MrTroydawn]

Not knocking DJI cause I love them....but after a few reviews I have seen on the Zino 2 with Interchangeable gimble camera...I was thinking.....could DJI do this....so we can have the advantages of the Mavic 2 Zoom on our Mavic 2..."? Of course we could.....DJI are marketing geniuses...… But then again....wouldn't that be nice to have the features of both drones by just buying the gimble / Camera accessory.....???

[@DrNick8002]

Hope to have these filters to make footages and still images to be punchier

[@whome7004]

No Bull I think it made cam look Great I must have mist the Zoom. But I see tons of DJI vid Farewell Gear would probably make Mountains more and If Some somewhat decent dill pops up I will be Hooked Buy The DJI I NO THERE SO GOOD YET ALWAYS CHANGING MODES BUT IS IT SAFE TO SAY IF I DID GO DIJ WHAT MODE WILL BE BEST FOR NOT HAVING NEW MODE BE PUT IN FRONT OF ME BUT NO WHY I GOT A DIJ I Hope u get what I try to say!

[@tlsmoke23]

Freewell Gear . I went cheaper but need to win to compare.

[@whome7004]

I wish he would have zoomed in and out to really see how good those FREEWELL filter do

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

About 50% of the video is zoomed in. I just don't show the zooming because it looks weird. You can see in one scene I left a bit of the zooming.

[@F.W.Danley]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Zooming looks weird? A camera zooming looks normal to me.

[@JCANPetros]

Like the video, gave it a thumbs up. Didn't appreciate the click bait thumbnail however. If the content wasn't good I'd dislike just for that. In other words you don't have to do that.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Isn't the thumbnail just an image of the hills in the fall?

[@ildi991]

did you have a video on how to install or remove the filter from the gimbal?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

For the Zoom, no video. The reason is because the Zoom allows you to just screw on the filter so no demonstration required. The only thing to note is that you have to power off the Zoom, place it on its back, then unscrew the lens and put on a filter, then flip it over and power it back up.

[@gsampl4es]

I have some polar pro stuff but would like to win some Freewell Gear for to use on my Autel Evo.. LOL. Still enjoy your videos and reviews of stuff!
