DJI Mini 4 Pro ND Freewell Filters for Beginners 👀

Master ND Filters and bring your Drone Photos and Videos to life 😲
Up your DJI Mini 4 Pro Game with Freewell ND Mega Pack Filters for the DJI Mini 4 Pro!
The Camera on DJI's Mini 4 Pro Drone has a wide-open fixed f1.7 aperture, which means it lets in a ton of light into the image sensor! This is why having ND Filters will help you block out some of the light when flying in the day and even in the night!

[@AppleShortss]

Thank you I just learned so much about ND FILTERs. I been wanting to take long exposures your made it easy understand. I will definitely watch another video on the other filters. Thanks I will be taking some long exposures tonight of the Verrazano bridge tonight.

[@3Jesse33]

Wow! I just purchased the DJI mini 4 pro and I want to break into the business. I feel like your video helped me to do just that. I truly appreciate you breaking this down for us to learn.

[@Natuurrg]

Probably the best explanation for why using nd filter. Thank you 🙏

[@kayjet64]

In few words why I don't need ND8 with Mini Pro 4!!! Nice.

[@orlandorengifo5288]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, apreciated

[@potluck5896]

I just bought the drone, and this is extremely helpful. Thank you!

[@dfwald4657]

Excellent explanations and examples!

[@edSmith1018]

I just received my first filter set I’m trying to step my game up I’m very new to flying. Your video helped me a lot. Thanks

[@DroneAlone57]

Thank you for these tips X. I have an Air3 and this tutorial will help achieve what I want achieve, better, professional photos.

[@MyMaineDrone]

Thank you for the video. We are getting our Drone on Monday and understanding ND filters was something I wanted to learn before filming!

[@mhmphotography400]

Great video…… thanks for sharing.

[@ricktexas3291]

Thanks for the info

[@Muddasir_Iqbal]

Thank you very much for the informative video!! If you could make another video specifically using those filters along with different settings, would be excellent. Thank you

[@DAXimusTT]

Good stuff. Hoping to get this kit soon.

[@heinerxxl]

I'm not familiar with ND filters, but now I will buy me some. Thanks for sharing that valuable information.❤

[@khalidalkaabi5506]

thank you that really help me ❤❤❤❤❤

[@michaelkosinski5671]

Thanks for the video. Birthday coming up getting myself big kit. Yes please do videos on how to use the PL filter or light pollution filters and the UV and how to adjust the polarizer ones. Thanks again very much as always.👍

[@proartwork7189]

Thank you very much, sir!

[@garysaerialviews]

Thank you for this Xavier.. Just sold my Mini 3 Pro.. For the Mini 4 Pro now I have 8 Seconds can't wait to get out there with my filters...👍

[@MarkSmithMCS]

Hi Xavier. I would love to hear some info on the polarized filters with the adjustable ring. I have the full Freewell kit for my Mini 2, but still learning

[@albertol1529]

Thank you for a great video. Also, thank you for an excellent, professional delivery. We in Europe don’t really like how some of your compatriots deliver content with generic, almost drug-charged, hyper-speed talking and arms flailing like they’re having a fit. I have subscribed because your style, and your authoritative delivery with clear examples is superb, well done and thank you!

[@albertol1529]

* Not “generic” but frenetic (stupid Apple autocorrect, clearly doesn’t understand context!)

[@jesusgjchuza6491]

Very nice 😎🤝

[@supermix0]

"Bravo" 👍

[@slaysdaily]

Good video

[@eprohoda]

Dronexfactor, thank you!so super vlog,

[@xavier_arthur]

You're welcome I hope you're going to be using filters for video or long exposure soon 👌

[@WordizbonDon]

Bro thanks for this. I have the Freewell filters but never used them yet as I am still new to drones. Glad I purchased them man. Your IG don't seem to be working though.

[@regbanks7888]

Great job man. Kinda look like Russell Wilson

[@chinmarifpv3319]

Great info on a tough subject, What do you think about the Wide Lens option on the Mini Pro 4?

[@anjayl]

Well made video ! I'm just surprised you didn't talk about the LPR filter, as it is the one "recommended" I believe for night shots. I'd appreciate your take on that. Cheers.

[@lakshyakumarsah9396]

LPR is not needed at all because if you have a nd64&PL then it will capture more stunning shots on night than an LPR IT will be cheaper than an LPR 🤑Hacks😁😁

[@carloscervantes836]

I get the lights flickering but hard disagree on the added motion blur being a more pleasant watching experience.

[@dgibbsfl]

Yes to something on CPL and PL filters and H and V settings. No idea what any of that is and wouldn't want a jumbo pack of filters to only use maybe four main ones.

[@Anto_Levo_Mtb]

Nd pl or pl video on lake photos….. great video 👍

[@shegocrazy]

Filters are better but the trick is to find the correct strength. Iso won't go below 100, so if it is set to auto iso in pro mode with 60fps shutter then the scene can't be so bright that the exposure iso and ev +/- can't compensate. The filter you selected might need to go darker than you expected on the ground.

[@tommyjexiled]

In general, if you're shooting at 30 fps you'd want to set your shutter speed at 1/60, and 60 fps at 1/120. That's using manual mode though. As you said, the trick is to find the right filter strength which may be different in the air vs. the ground.

[@phillalonde1509]

Okay I now see there are times when an nd filter would be beneficial 😊

[@Slava_Bogu.]

How can I set 8 seconds of shutter speed on my DJI mini 4 pro? I have 2 seconds max please explain to me. Thanks 12:01

[@Backcountryhiker]

Great info, thank you! One question if you don't mind. If you had to pick the most perfect filter to use on a Mini 3 in very bright sunlight, what would you "default" too? I've heard to use an ND 64 for that but that is one opinion. Also, do you recommend using a combo ND 64 with polarization? Thank you .

[@lakshyakumarsah9396]

Good Job SIR😍, Your this video was very informative to me🙂 and i find this very helpful. But, as i belong to India here this filter set is not available at all😗 that is why i should prefer BUYING ND8,ND16,ND32,ND64,ND128,ND1000,ND64&PL,UV AND CPL🤩. HOPE THIS WILL BE HELPFUL FOR THOSE LIKE ME WHO ARE LYING CAUSE OF NON AVAILABILITY OF THIS SET IN THEIR REGION OR COUNTRY 😇😘

[@jozeksta]

Nice video. What about quality, does using filters improve the quality of the photo or does it not matter? Does the ND filter add only motion blur to photos/videos?

[@demner]

I also have the Mini 4 Pro, but I cannot adjust the shutter beyond 2 seconds, is there something that I'm missing?

[@xavier_arthur]

Maybe check for an update, in photo mode you will definitely get 8 seconds simulated shutter

[@Orcadriver]

Nice video and good understandable explanation! Will your luts work with "Capcut"? Thanks 🙂

[@xavier_arthur]

Thanks Yes Capcut works with Cube luts

[@NineVersys1000]

อยากได้จัง ประเทศฉันไม่มีขาย 😢🇹🇭

[@BlairAir]

Waiting for the Flipping Flagrant Freewell Ultra Max Mega Mondo pack - that actually has ND8's - bit I did learn a good workaround for when you are missing some ND levels. Per Polar Pro, setting ISO 200 will roughly halve an ND in the 8-64 range. In my example above, ND 16 + ISO 200 nets a near ND8 #of stops light reduction..with this trick who needs $150 set?

[@xavier_arthur]

On F 1.7 aperture 😯

[@gregtay67]

I only have 3 filters. 16, 64 and 1000

[@kivenbacolod2155]

❤

[@raymond5145]

Is that the bridge in New haven?

[@xavier_arthur]

This Bridge separates Brooklyn and Queens

[@demojoys]

Im guessing you can't stack these?

[@georgenlewis9150]

Question: what if the settings are on Auto at 4K 30, and you use ND32 or ND64 on a bright sunny day instead of using Manual/Pro settings? How will that affect ’motion blur’?

[@xavier_arthur]

It's hard to say because in auto mode you give the camera complete control to adjust either the iso or the shutter! So who knows what the camera will do 🤷 Plus in order to pick the right filter, you should set up your camera settings first to 4K 30 and 1/60 shutter, then try different filters to see which one gets you closest to zero exposure or in my case -7 exposure, I don't like zero exposure, I think it's too bright! Don't be afraid of manual settings! The more you play with it the better you'll get 💪

[@BlairAir]

@dronexfactor 💪👏on -.7 multi-meter a -.7, or even -1.0 looks great and is easy to pull detail from shadows. If you look under the hood on DJI "normal" color on Pocket 3, it's 10 bit also. Not that anyone is throwing LUTs at non -D log M, but for talented types that know how to grade... talking about that X-factor now!

[@georgenlewis9150]

@@xavier_arthur Thanks for responding. I would assume that an exposure of 0.00 with the right ND filter on a Sunny day would give you a perfect exposure and not too bright of a light. And No, I’m not scared of manual settings. I Would like to see a video demonstrating: Auto - 4K 30 - testing different ND filters - on a bright sunny day - with a moving subject. Please. Thanks.

[@xavier_arthur]

@georgenlewis9150 In theory zero exposure would be perfectly balanced but it all depends on how well the camera was tuned. Same thing with using ND filters in auto, it depends on how well the camera was programmed, if it's programmed to adjust the shutter or the iso first or to adjust both of the same time 🤷 You can try it and monitor both the iso and the shutter for changes. The reason manual is the best way to go, is because under whatever circumstances you test it, it might do a good job but then on in other circumstances it might not do what you want 😭 Manual alleviates any room for error. I hope this makes sense. Also check out this video where you can see two different drones from two different brands not handling exposure perfectly at zero. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnjSmGWNdseIq9ksi=ocTQfKREtrkMyy-x

[@chamonixcabs]

Hi sorry to jump onto your thread but it’s very interesting. Where do I see what the exposure is? Does it tell you on the manual settings somewehere?

[@tommyjexiled]

First, a person would never use most of the filters included in the Freewell pack, maybe 3 or 4 at most. I think the All Day pack of six filters would be great for most people, but the 16 filter kit is just overkill. Seeing as how you have an affiliate link, I suspect that's why you'd want to steer people to the most expensive pack. Second, I wouldn't exactly call them "for beginners" given the price, and the fact that the Mini 4 Pro (which I just purchased with the Fly More pack) isn't exactly cheap itself. But hey, just my opinion, and as they say, opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one.

[@Rocketryman]

Friend. We don't film. We video, shoot, produce, videoing. In most cases, it's unnecessary to state as it sounds repetitive. Obviously, we know what you are doing. Digital Video and film require different skill sets and gear. Digital Video and film Have different historical timelines covering 150 years. Great video! Know the difference, stand out, and be better at your craft.

[@JR-jc7oj]

Shut up

[@ghadahh9616]

Hello mr Can I get your email address if you don’t mind 🙏🏼 because I’m working on a project right now, and I have a few questions about the communication between my drone and the ground control station
