Hey Darren Today I noticed that my M3P wouldn't set focus whether I tapped on the screen or half pressed the camera button. For objects closer to the camera they would momentarily come into very sharp focus and then blur out . Of course, i could manually adjust the focus and set it to what i wanted. I suspected that the camera wasn't functioning well. Then i thought of removing the ND filter (which at that time was only an ND4) and lo and behold, there was nothing wrong with the focus. Tried it again and indeed the ND filter was messing it up. Have you had a similar problem? BTW, I am using Freewell filters so the quaility should be good. Would like to hear from others because a lot has been said about ND filters and how great they are. But if they prevent a sharp picture then It is questionable.

Nice! So that viewers are not confused - the polarizing filter you first mentioned, and the CPL filter are the same thing. CPL designates the polarizing filter as a circular polarizing filter which has 2 layers that can be rotated with respect to each other (hence the H and V settings). I would like to have seen some mention of the fact that polarizing filters don't just cut reflections from surfaces on or near the ground, they cut light reflecting off dust in the atmosphere too, so they can make a blue sky VERY blue (darker too) and thus, create stunning contrast with white clouds in that blue sky. However the cool polarizing ability of the CPL filter works best at 90 degrees to the sun (sun off to one side of the drone). If you hope for stunning polarization while the drone is pointed toward or away from the sun, you may notice very little effect. And yes, since a polarizer blocks some light, it too acts a little like a weak ND filter (though it is not classified as an ND).

I dont get the whole rotation of pl filters? Why? And if sp important why dont all pl filters have the ability?
@scottgarriott38845 ай бұрын
Hi @@AndreasHvilhoej ... I'll try to explain. Polarizers cut out all light whose waves are in random directions, and allow only light with its waves in one particular direction. By rotating the PL filter, you change which direction of light waves are allowed through. When light is produced it is random, but when light reflects off of surfaces it becomes mostly polarized in ONE direction. So in order to cut this glare you need to rotate your polarizing filter to find the angle that cuts that glare - hence the rotation of the filter. CPL does exactly the same thing but in a way that is more difficult to explain. For most modern cameras (certainly mirrorless cameras), you can ignore the difference between PL and CPL filters - they do the same thing. However ND filters are simply darkeners. You can use a polarizing filter (PL or CPL) as a weak ND filter because they darken the scene (since they cut out some light). But you cannot use an ND filter (which only darkens) to polarize light (cut reflections and glare). Hope that helps.

The 4 and the 8 seem like pointless filters for a wide open 1.7 aperature. Maybe Freewell should do a better 6 piece kit that includes 16, 32, 64, 128 and a 256. This might be more appropriate for this drone.

@theproginge Жыл бұрын
Ideally you want your shutter speed double that of your framerate. So 4k30 hq with a 1/60 shutter speed. The iso you want as low as possible (ideally 100). The higher you go the more "noise" you will get in your picture. Then once they are set you just work your way through the filters until the shot isn't over or under exposed. There is a built in histogram (shows exposure levels) and an over exposure warning in the settings.

9:08 I believe most people won't care, but please do not confuse between Grain and Noise, especially when most audiences watching this video might be new into digital photography and/or videography! Grain is something caused by the celluloid on the film. Grain adds textures. Most people like Grain. Noise is caused by the sensor. It is only happening on digital cameras. Noise destroys image quality. Most people tend to avoid noise as much as possible. When you examine an image pixel-to-pixel, you can immediately tell the difference between heavy grain vs noisy image. It is hard to describe the difference in words, but the difference is very noticeable on images.

Dude.....watched 30+ videos on the DJU mini 3 pro. Lots of good/great info. As a photographer since the late 70's I missed the "Fixed 1.7 aperture"! I just assumed it had variable aperture as almost all cameras do. Damn! This is definitely the most relavant video on the DJI mini 3 pro to creating the best possible images! This will be my first drone.....have wanted one for years and like most things electronic, I wait for years for that magic price/value levels, and then buy. This really is the MOST important accessory one should buy. These filters should be standard issue.....seriously. Having your shutter locked on 1.7 would be great if u always shot at dusk/low light situations......but u don't. I can't image the shutter speed at high noon at 1.7! So if u folks take nothing away from DM's video and my comment.......Buy quality glass filters! And unless you're shooting at dusk/low light levels u should probably always have a ND filter on.

Beautiful landscape and a very good video. Polarizing filters and ND filters are two completely different types of filters. Depending on the filter type, the ND filter reduces a defined amount of light. The polarizing filter absorbs light reflections on surfaces. Due to the color saturation, the picture sometimes looks like it was painted. Boats photographed on the water with a polarizing filter appear as if they are floating. Maybe you make a content only to the polarizing filter.

I have done some playing around and am thinking of using in Auto mode with the filters. Looking at the SRT information auto mode brings down the shutter speed low enough to give some motion blur but is tweaking the ISO enough to keep a standard brightness level throughout the videos. So > For me > ND filters + Auto Mode is the way to go (I think)

Some usful info there ahead of me ordering my first drone. Thanks! Not sure if already mentioned in comments somewhere but should be noted the polarization effect when using a cpl (or circular polarizer) of reducing reflections and increasing colour saturation is most profound at right angles to the sun. In fact with the main light source behind or in front of camera there is no such polarization effect worth mentioning. And as you might expect on an overcast day there is very little or no effect either. The polarisor then works simply as a ND filter. As an editorial, events and commercial photographer of some years now I would have a polarizor on all my lenses when shooting outdoors on sunny days - primarily for reducing haze and increasing colour saturation. A loss of rnd 2 stops of light was pretty typical.

I looked back at a photo I took of a waterfall. The mini 3 selected a shutter speed of 1/320 sec so trying to work out what I would expect regards shutter speed if I had the nd16/pl in place at the time?

So, the lingering question that I have that nobody seems to talk much about is what the process is like to manually calibrate which filter you want to use according to the ambient lighting conditions at say 200m altitude in the area you intend to be doing video. Say you are set up at 30fps and 1/60th and the interest is in an EV of right around -0.1. Do you put on an ND filter, fly out to the general area that you will be taking video footage and see what your EV is and if it isn't around -0.1 you fly back and change out the ND filter accordingly and then go back up and repeat as necessary until you are settled in with the right ND filter?

I put the drone on a surface facing the light parts of the scene and then put the nd filter on , if the exposure is around 0 it’s fine. It can be slightly over or under 0 and it’ll be fine. Normally nd32 does the job well unless it’s really bright

I do have ND and NDCPL filters for my M3, but I don't understand when you say you use them to reduce shutter speed. Surely, when using the rule of 180, then the shutter speed will be fixed at that figure (eg. 30fps = 1/60th sec shuuet speed is used), and if an ND filter is used, you would have to alter ISO, or, if available, aperture, to keep the 180 rule. So, it's not for lowering shutter speed, as you're suggesting here. Are you saying you don't follow the 180 rule?

You say at 2:34 “the lower the shutter speed the better“. It’s not quite true and might be a little bit confusing for beginners. As a rule of thumb, your shutter speed should be 2x that of your FPS. For example, if shooting at 24fps your shutter speed should be 1/50. If shooting at 30fps it should be 1/60 and so on. This is the most natural looking motion blur and is what every film maker will use! set your camera to the above settings as needed, THEN put on the ND filter to check if it is under / over exposed and change the filter depending on this. Thought I’d add some extra insight!!

Hi Scott. “Other than in low light..” ? didn’t you mean “bright light”? The ND’s reduce light coming through your fixed-aperture lens meaning your shutter speed has to reduce to get correct exposure eg an ND 64 is a 6 stop filter, so if your correct exposure was 1/4000th sec, adding this filter would require a ss of 1/60, perfectly lowered to give the “natural blur” effect desired. Polarisers reduce about 2 stops of light but they’re mainly used to reduce”glare” which is always present even if not obvious like in super bright water reflections. This has the effect of making colours less washed out and therefore richer.

What set would you recommend? Also I do a lot of urban nighttime photography, are any ND filters required for that scenario? Lastly do variable ND filters have any downsides?
@patrickjeromeobaldo2450 Жыл бұрын
For capturing over water you're better off using ND-PL filters (ND polarized), what this does is it reduces reflections depending on your angle from a light source. ND filters will only be useful on bright scenes. I highly recommend not using any filters during golden hours (sunrise, or sunset). In addition, using ND filters to purposefully show motion-blur in your shots is the way to go. If you're mainly doing cinematic slow moving shots it's best not to use ND filters. for variable ND filters I'd rather just set the exposure to auto, and use an ND32 or ND64 on (ND64 is usually my go-to filter on a bright sunny day, and no ND filter on a cloudy scene). Cheers!

What would be your first choice between the 2 would it be the ND4-1000 or the NDPL4-64 pack

How are you finding these filters after a few uses? are they still a snug fit? Ive had a lot of issues with drone filters in the past and want to make the right choice here. thanks for your time.

How do the optimal settings of 4K/30 and shutter speed 1/60 relate to the 180 degree rule? Isn't that the rule of keeping two characters at 180° from each other in cinema? Regardless, thanks for getting me up to speed with drone photography.

Hi, I've been watching quite a few of your videos lately, and found them very helpful. I'm considering getting these filters, but I'm unsure of which pack to go for. Most footage I'll be taking will be in the UK (not the brightest of locations!) with the occasionally sunny day and holiday also. Which pack would you recommend?
@DMProductions2 жыл бұрын
Hey if you get the Pl filters they will cover you for over water and holidays too 😊 I’ve linked both packs if you want to check them out
@Navajo_Steve2 жыл бұрын
Thank you for a great video. The only bad side of this ND filter pack is that the pack don't have the UV filter. You have to buy it separate.

Not if you buy the vivid and shutter filters in the one pack , you get a UV filter with it

So Darren why should I have polarised over non-polarised ? And I’m still pissed off they didn’t include the air 2s in the latest mini 3 update 😫😫😫. So do you think I should cancel my ND filter set off DJI they are offering refunds because of the delays here in Australia and buy the free well polarised ?

As a beginner which set would you recommend, the Mrs isn't going to sign of a budget to buy both sets! I live in the South Lakes so plenty of water and sea, although usually dull weather!

I would go for the nd/pl and cpl it’s my fav 😊
@lu30602 жыл бұрын
I'm torn between getting the CPL version vs the non-CPL version. Do you notice any image quality differences between the non-CPL version and the CPL version at the angle with minimal polarisation? I'm worried about weird colour shifts that low-quality CPLs can cause.

Hey thanks for this video I know it's older but I was watching your new video and already kind of had ND filters in in my mind. Because I'd like to get some good shots of this big snowstorm coming the afterwards I should be specific about and do you know how bright that can be. Anyway my question is, you said in the video of the links are supposed take you to Amazon and you can get either a set of the six ND filters that include one CPL filter? And then the other link is supposed to take to the other set? And then the last link is supposed to take you to a complete complete set correct? The first two links take you to the same Amazon page showing six ND filters for $49.99 in the US and it doesn't appear to include the polarized lens cover you are showing. Unless I misunderstood but I thought you said in the video that it includes ND4, ND8, ND16 ND32 and the nd64 Plus CPL filter. How do I get that kit? Because I really don't want to have to get the whole mega kit not because of the money but because I don't think I'll use all those other filters I think the kid that you were describing fits me best it's just unfortunate the length will not take me there and I can't seem to Google find the kit that you were speaking of maybe you can help me out Thank you again for the video and for the friendly replies on the other awesome videos I've commented on.

Based on all the recommendations of ND filters and my fast shutter speeds I got a ND 16, now it is 1/30 sec and blurry, ordered a ND4, still too dark and fuzzy, guess I like sharp videos.

1/30 is too low, you need to double the frame rate ie 1/60 1/50 and low iso
