DJI Mini 3 Pro ND Filters | WHY and HOW To Use Them

[@espedale]

Great explanations and recommendations! One thing you didn't mention is where the little dot on the polarizing ND filter should line up. Should the dots be 0 degrees aways from each other (i.e. directly next to one another) or should the lens be turned 90 degrees away from the static alignment dot, in order to cancel out reflection?

I have a serious question how do you clean the inside of these tiny ND filters for the Mini 3 drone when I use the cloth on the inside it seems to have a haze that will not go away

Hi! I have a question about your hyperlapse video. I recently tried to create a stationary sunset hyperlapse using my Mini 4 Pro with an ND filter, following your tutorial. However, my results were wobbly, as it seems the drone shifted between frames. Upon re-watching your video, it looks like there was some movement in your hyperlapse. Did you add this movement in post-production, or was the drone flying in a specific direction? Thanks for your help!

[@NoOverhead]

This was awesome. Thank you for all the examples and insight. I've LOVED my Mini 3 Pro footage, but I'm excited to try some filters and a little more "pro" settings.

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Thank you. Hope you have fun with it!

[@Backcountryhiker]

That's the first time I've seen to use the exposure reading, keeping your frame rate 'law' in tact, to find out which filter you need! Thank you for the tip!

[@GreatDayForAHike]

You’re welcome!

[@jeep4dirt]

Thx for a very helpful tutorial. How do u maximize the use of a polarizer given that when the drone is airborne the filter cannot be rotated?

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Thank you. I rotate it before getting it up in the air if it’s conditions where I know I’ll want to use it.

[@heavenfly]

I'm curious about the difference between a round, polarizing ND filter and a normal one. If you could answer, I'd be grateful.

Whats your take on the new comer HOVERAIR X1???

[@GreatDayForAHike]

I’ve seen a little bit about it. If I recall correctly it can only do up to 2.7K video? The design and form factor are neat on it.

[@afjkl]

Sir i have nd4 nd 1000. Can you tell me which filter should i have to use Night time program or function? There will be lots of lights there.

[@tyeshiacarroll574]

Can you make a video on how and why to use an ND filter with the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 camera?

[@GreatDayForAHike]

You’ll be glad to know I’ve created one already and you can view it right here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGLLdZ5ujtqJkM0si=CJXUzIZ45hl2JSTl Thanks.

Need full beginers guide, how to fly and control.

[@GreatDayForAHike]

I’ve got this on my list to put together.

[@dbsranchr]

Thank you for this video. I’m currently waiting delivery of my M3P. You’ve helped me make up my mind on what ND filter set to use. Can’t wait to get it up in the air!!!!

[@GreatDayForAHike]

That’s exciting! The Mini 3 Pro has had some nice sales lately and it’s got a great size to quality ratio considering it’s just a 249g drone. Have fun!

[@dbsranchr]

@@GreatDayForAHike yes they do. That was the little nudge I needed to hit the buy now button lol. Do you have any plans on doing a tips and setup video for the M3P?

[@GreatDayForAHike]

I do have it on my list to put together.

[@dbsranchr]

@@GreatDayForAHike awesome. Thanks!!

[@JimmyBamis]

Which nd Filter do I use for night Flying?

[@MrDogtown22]

You can set the shutter speed tho so you dont need to use a filter?

[@Earl_Robinson_UK]

im seeing a fair bit of stutter in the drone foortage, is that youtube?

[@GreatDayForAHike]

Yes, looks like it. Footage is nice and smooth on my end.

[@royk1374]

@@GreatDayForAHike Probably because you're filming @24fps while most monitors are at 60Hz or 120. Recording to show on monitors seems to be better @30fps and shutter speed at 1/60. I've seen somewhere here on KZbin that it's also possible to put the 24fps recording on a 30fps timeline to keep the more cinematic effect and prevent the stutter.

[@Earl_Robinson_UK]

@@GreatDayForAHikehave you done a video on the 24fps and 60 fps screen refresh rate issue?

[@Thor57644]

Great job.
