DO YOU NEED ND FILTERS FOR YOUR DJI AVATA 2?

[@ObjectiveCoder]

Great demonstration! Perfect location for it with all the detail in the grass/crop.

It's not absolutely necessary to use manual camera setting nor strictly follow the 180 shutter speed rule to get great results. Unlike fixed cameras, flying cameras require variable exposure levels when flying toward the sun one moment and then away from the sun the next moment. The camera auto exposure is very good at making those adjustments for you automatically. However, during daylight, the shutter speed will be in higher ranges not idea for motion blur. You just need an ND filter that reduces the shutter speed range to around 100-200 to give good results. Apply an ND filter (and set ISO limit at 400) to lower the shutter speed range and let camera auto mode make the necessary exposure adjustments to the dynamically changing lighting conditions. Tip: You can turn subtitles on to view the actual shutter speed used in every frame. This is a good way to benchmark each ND filter in different lighting conditions. I find 16 or 32 are good for daylight and 8 or no filter during golden hours. Test it out yourself to see what works for you. I prefer to keep things simple and focus more on flying and composition.

Perfectly explained mate! Great video 😊

[@andykirby]

Thanks matey!😁👍🏻

[@JTR...]

Intro was really good :)

[@apierc1]

I was thinking it looks very blurry, finally got my phone to switch up from 360p, no bloomin wonder. Very sharp once in high Res.

[@mucy2807]

Yessss! I’ve been watching these videos in this field Andy, praying for that ‘X-Wing Death Star Trench’ moment. You delivered pal 👊🏻

[@lynsmith1096]

Good review and video Andy

[@Raphi86]

If you dont ruin you footage with a wrong choosen nd filter you can simply add motionblur in past with Davinci Resolve -> Add Motion blur effect to you footage -> effect options „from previous frame“ -> adjust the effect strenght and you good to go with the original footage without lensflares, higher iso and so on from the filters

[@josephsworkshop75]

Great illustration of motion blur. I found the mini 4 pro freewell nd filters also have lens glare. I’ve just picked up the DJI brand nd filter to take a look if flare is still an issue. Great video, great flying. Thanks for putting in the work. 👍🏻 Cheers from Australia.

[@andykirby]

Thanks! Thats Interesting! Let us know if the DJI filters do have lens flare.

[@SmartMetering]

@@andykirby I haven't noticed any flares on my DJI filters so far.

[@jamesriley5057]

Perfect. thanks. I think motion blur is the opposite of what I want when I am doing CGI camera tracking. Any tips?

[@manfrombkk]

Personally, I think the "Motion Blur" thing is a bit overrated. Everyone seems to think this is what the cool flyers all need to do... But , I kinda like to to look down at the details passing by sometimes. BTW, yes, I do have an Avata 2 and yes I do have Freewell ND filters.

[@andykirby]

Like all techniques they have their place. I think you are right in that it's better to be able to see the details when actually flying, having the blur in the goggles might not be desirable.

[@manfrombkk]

@@andykirby I’m personally also interested in looking at the details in the actual video that is presented to the viewer as well

[@TehhKryo]

Great video, just picked up the freewell pack waiting for the sun to come back out 🌞

[@andykirby]

Haha yeah know what you mean!

[@davelightfoot2913]

Maybe I'm judgmental but looks worse to me. Don't like the lens flare from sun.

[@TEKonTECH]

Had to be a smudge on the filter👀 it disappeared when he wiped the lense. A polarized filter would do better for glare👍🏾

[@LenMiDrones_photography]

I'm glad you got this drone. Great flying! I cannot wait to save up and get one. For now I'm with the mini 3 Pro. But, I will be saving this year

[@andykirby]

Thanks! The mini 3 pro is great, you can actually fly it with the goggles 2 and older motion controller in FPV mode but it won't sustain a crash 😁

[@mucy2807]

Great video - great choons too 🫡👊🏻👍🏻😁

[@tc.isyammudin.hj.ismail]

What bicycle is that? Brand and model

[@RoadhawK66]

I wonder if the official Dji filters suffer from lens flare as well.

Is the flare at 6:40 repeating in your flights? Does it belong to Freewell brand, did you have chance to use DJI’s filters?

[@pauljoseph8338]

What camera were you using to film your face? Very bizarre focus effect. Looks like you were standing in front of a green screen.

[@andykirby]

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. I think it's such a crisp image sometimes it can look fake. There's no AI processing or any of that rubbish AFAIK

[@151storm]

Awesome video. Beautiful location

[@ukmonk]

nice video thank you! and ND filters are good for stopping damage/dust to camera lens etc I guess?

[@PhiIYourPants]

Great video. I like the sharp video that 4K60fps gives. Why would you want it blurred 😅? What sort of range do you get from the Avata 2

[@andykirby]

Thanks, sometimes filmmakers want a bit of blur to give the effect of speed.😁

[@billyhatcher643]

this drone has some really impressive quality for the price of it im gonna get me one and fly it around in my area in texas i live in a area with alot of open land

[@chriscrowder3844]

I've done the hack which seems like it works but I only see 20 odd mpbs even when standing next to the drone...how are you getting 60?

[@andykirby]

When you arm it to take off it should go up to 60mbs

[@serval_fpv]

Does reviewer's only review freewell nd filters or are they the only company sending them out to review ?

[@andykirby]

The only ones I have been sent so far are Freewell brand.

[@mcmediaandfilm]

Top video Andy ,always use nd I use variable nd my lumix s5mk2 , and the motion blur in this is on point ❤

[@SimpleMeFPV]

I’m digging your channel and KZbin algorithm ❤’s comments. 👍 as always

[@w.e.s.]

Nd filters r a waste

[@alllifematter327]

How far it go
