DJI Pocket 3 ND Filters From Freewell

[@LifeAsAllen]

I finally succumbed and bought the Pocket 3. It's a pretty amazing gadget. I used your link and navigated to a 4 filter kit, so hopefully you still get your cut.

[@JakeSloan]

NICE

[@ChristmasOnCrestline]

Boom! You rock for showing the filter with Christmas lights in the video. That is precisely what I was looking for as I film extreme holiday displays! I'll be using your link and buying now. Many thanks to ya!

[@JakeSloan]

glad it helped!!

[@outofthecommonphotography5503]

Thank you for this video. I plan on getting the Pocket 3 and these filters would be a great addition. I also will be checking out your video to see how you set yours up. Great stuff!!!

[@JakeSloan]

Glad it was helpful!

[@gkohlmeyer]

Hello, is it possible to switch off the Pocket 3 with ND filter still on the head, i.e. is the filter small/thin enough that the head can move properly to move in its parking position? So far as I know from user manual the wide angle lens is to big / thick

[@JakeSloan]

it is but the camera will "park" the opposite way since it has a filter on the front, there is not enough space for it to close the normal way

[@joelconolly5574]

​@@JakeSloanat least Osmo is smart enough to detect that.

[@Pankaj_Patel_Canada]

Great video with an explanation. I want to understand if the Freewell VND filter is the lens, is it allow the gimbal lens in the default position (or restrict to moving the gimble head) when the power is off?

[@JakeSloan]

believe it does

[@levanchilindrishvili3361]

fantastic review. I would like to know if all the scenes were captured with OP-3. I'm just curious since some of the footage appeared to be from a drone.

[@JakeSloan]

yes some of the demonstration footage was from a drone to show the difference between ND filter and no nd filter. I tried to label the shots and what camera they were shot with etc

[@ExploringWorldYouTube]

Hello, thanks for your interesting video and thanks to share it. I need to ask a question please. I only make documentaries in 4K 50p on sunny days. Since it doesn't make much sense to use an ND filter with high framerate and Automatic Exposure, I was hinting to buy a CPL filter and always leave it on, without removing it. I like an image that is a little more contrasted, crispier and with more colour. I use D-Log M, do you think I'll get what I want with CPL filter? Thanks

[@JakeSloan]

You could definitely

Hello Jake. Which filter is best for daily vlogging during the day and night? Thanks!

[@JakeSloan]

I don't use any filters at night but during the day I use usually an ND32 or 64 if it's a super bright day

[@jonahkaiguam]

Would be cool if Freewell can make stackable filters somehow. That way you can use the wide angle lens with an nd.....or make wide angle lens with nd into 1 filter so they are not stacked on each other

[@JakeSloan]

these are technically stackable... and I HOPE a wide angle lens/anamorphic lens is coming

[@JJ_Khailha]

Yes, you can stack NDs and S Mist from this set.

[@dougcooper4917]

Excellent tutorial review video. Thank you Jake.

[@JakeSloan]

My pleasure!

[@photony]

Good video on that big pack of filters. If the gimbal doesn't park fully closed, can it be safely put into the case that way?

[@JakeSloan]

you will need to take the filters off to put it away but the camera will go in the case with the gimbal parked either direction

[@imboredDB]

Any opinions on variable nd filters?😮 Thx!

[@JakeSloan]

I used and like the K&F version quite a bit

[@groupeone23]

Do any of the Freewell filters allow the gimbal head to close when the Pocket 3 is turned off? I ask because knowing me, I might forget to remove the filter(s) before turning it off (d’oh!). I want to avoid damaging the Pocket 3, so your thoughts here would be most welcome. Thank you!

[@JakeSloan]

It won't damage the pocket 3, the pocket 3 will sense the filter there and park the head the other direction. The only filters I have found that can stay on the pocket 3 are the K&F filters in this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4TYeqBqeNice7M

[@Hudson_Swan]

I have a set of Freewell filters that I use on my DJI Pocket 2. If I upgrade to the DJI Pocket 3 will I still be able to use my existing filters?

[@JakeSloan]

unfortunately no, the size is very different

[@BlairAir]

Hey Jake. Good walk through on ND and othee filters. I tend to buy them. Many of them, but higher altitude shooting benefits little from slow shutter the way shooting closer to ground, trees, etc does. I like having a high stop value ND 512/1000 for hyperlapse of cars, day and night, and I like the occasional blue/gold streak filter for establishing shots or a single reveal. Even star filters can add something different to the mix, but generally only for a single shot or transition. I'm that guy who will even try a GND now and then -usually questioning my life choices when I do! Ive found CPL, NDPL and UV mostly not worth the effort. Getting polarized light to work for you takes more patience - and skill... than i possess. Thanks as always!

[@JakeSloan]

hahahahaha awesome!

[@epos_rising]

Great video , well done ! So you think it is better to purchase this freewell set than the official dji set of three filters for pocket3 ?

[@JakeSloan]

I think you would be fine with ether one.

[@DLD_Photography]

With the Freewell ND filters, does the gimbal go to the proper location after shutting off the Pocket 3? I have filters that hit the backside and won't close right.

[@JakeSloan]

You will need to take them off if you want it to go to the parked setting: otherwise it will act like the wide angle lens is attached

[@DLD_Photography]

@@JakeSloan - Okay that’s what I thought. Thanks.

[@bogartzarsadias-dz8fh]

When you turn off the OP3 with 1 filter on; does not allow to close to original off position. Some people may not be bothered by this i’m certain. Other brands are thinner and allow to get back to off position with 1 filter on.

[@JakeSloan]

none of the filters that I am aware of allow the pocket 3 to park it self like it does without a filter on

[@godzpwn9835]

ciao! ottimo video complimenti!! nice video mate!! very well done my friend!!!!!

[@JakeSloan]

Thank you

[@mekkari007]

I just bought one, thanks for the review.

[@JakeSloan]

you're welcome

[@bikash9552]

Hello, these NDfilters are compatible with Dji Avata 1. ？

[@JakeSloan]

no you need the filters specific for the avata 1

[@nailingjellotoawall]

Where can these be ordered? I checked a few sites but they all say coming soon. Good vid!

[@JakeSloan]

I have links but they are very new to the market

[@aViewFromDownAndAbove]

Nd filters are indeed needed but sadly you can't close the camera with the filter on it... DJI had to make the U arm a little bigger. Now before putting the Pocket 3 off you need to take off the filter... I don't know with you guys and girls, but I put it many times off and on and it is quite annoying to take it off all the time (if not forget).

[@JakeSloan]

no unfortunately you cannot

[@SofiaisSunshine]

There are a few like the StartRC brand that will actually allow the camera to shut. Just need to look for the ultra thin description

[@aViewFromDownAndAbove]

@@SofiaisSunshine I tried different brands and some can can close but not the vnd what I want to use(varaible nd), also when they can close it is very difficult to get them off without by time scratching the sensor.

[@SofiaisSunshine]

@@aViewFromDownAndAboveI was just worried about color shifting using some of these brands. Why do you want the vnd if I may ask? Convenience?

[@aViewFromDownAndAbove]

@@SofiaisSunshine If you buy normal nd filters, you need to take a box with you and change the filter all the time. Light change fast, even filming in another direction. So actually to save time and space.

[@YamilihtoPR]

Can you use the same as the mini pro 4?

[@JakeSloan]

no they are very different

[@Smack2002]

Awesome content, new subscriber. I am purchasing the most filter for night and day vlogs. What filter do you recommend for inside restaurant? Thank you .

[@JakeSloan]

Probably just a mist filter

[@JakeSloan]

Probably just a mist filter

[@yamahass66]

What are the best quality for pocket 3, cpl and nd filters. Dji, freewell or polarpro?

[@JakeSloan]

I prefer freewell because the quality is excellent but also it is priced well for the value. Polarpro are over priced IMO and DJI you get very limited choices

[@willmierisch]

Quick pocket 3 question - is it normal to see the MP4 files in real poor quality? I upload them into premier pro and it looks amazing and full quality, but the video player files really bad. My pocket 2 does not do this. So weird.

[@JakeSloan]

that is strange and not an issue I have experienced. is that after exporting from premier pro? You may want to check your export settings if it is

[@willmierisch]

@JakeSloan So this is only during sorting the files on windows media player that they look so bad. It's also frustrating because when they look this way, I can't tell what is in focus etc, when I put them into premiere pro, the files looks perfect and after export there is no issue either.

[@sevenluck4573]

Hi Is there no interference when the ND filter is installed and turned off?

[@JakeSloan]

none it will "park" in teh other way like when the wide angle lens is attached

[@promedianz]

Any colour casts?

[@JakeSloan]

Not really that I’ve seen

[@philvfilms]

Can you stack mist on nd

[@JakeSloan]

Yes you can

[@philvfilms]

@@JakeSloan thanks

[@formattester6]

great information!

Which of these filters do you use most often?

I recently switched to the variable ND system from K&F: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4TYeqBqeNice7M
