That filter that he showed is polarized in a specific way. So if you turn it to to the dot facing left then that will be for filming horizontal video. The mini 3 Pro can rotate to film vertical video so you want to turn the little dot to the v so it's polarized correctly for vertical video.

I found out there is another pack including 128, 256, 512 and 2000. Do you think for photography it would be enough to go with just the ladder, or would you recommend to get both?

Basically if you film at 4K30 you can lower the shutter speed to double the frame rate number, ie 60. So shutter 1/60. The the ideal. You can just throw a nd filter on tho and keep it in auto whilst you learn and this will get better results than none

Hey Darren. You present the information so well, as usual. Question: so you would recommend slightly increasing the shutter speed if needed to optimize with the fixed aperture on the Mini drones, as opposed to slightly increasing the ISO? I have the Freewell PL pack for my Mini 2. Bit of a nightmare to get them on, since it's really a hacked on afterthought on that drone, but I'm still trying to learn
@DMProductions Жыл бұрын
The mini 2 filters certainly are more fiddly to put on, mini 3 ones just clip in place. Yes I would rather increase shutter the speed slightly and keep the iso low to get the best quality. At night this wouldn’t be the case and you would have to increase the iso too.

Hello Ryan! Yes you do need NDs for photography just like having a DSLR. If you need to blur water or want to record light trails with your drone, NDs is the answer. You can even use a ND 1000 or 2000 for hyperlapse in bright daylight. Another useful filter is the polariser for removing glare from water or foliage 😉

I've bought the megapack Freewell ND filters Last month. (You might remember) I absolutely love it and my footage boosted in quality even on auto settings i still use sometimes. But also, I indeed was massively fixated to get my m.m exactly on 0.0. This kinda frustrated me because I was switching filters all the time. My batteries drained from landing and take off and it took away my pleasure of flying. This video was exactly what I needed. Thank you! Less focus on m.m. mire fun in flying and taking photos and videos.

I use Freewell filters too. I don't get too fixed on the 180° rule and I tend to under expose a little, -0.3 or -0.7. As a live in Portugal with brighter days I tend to have the ND64 or the ND64PL on the camera most of the times. The F1.7 aperture is making hard to get the same long exposure photos as I do with my Mini1 with the ND1000, even with the ND2000 on the Mini3 Pro.
