Your videos are spot on and I am starting to learn from youre ND filter video. Not sure if using auto would also give the same affect as manual with motion blur and milky affects with water and do these affects only work with the higher ND's, hope you can advise me on this thanks
@JustinBainbridgeYT6 ай бұрын
@Jakeydroney Hey! I'm glad you're finding my videos helpful! For ND filters I would always reccoment staying in manual camera settings. You will get a more consistent image and it makes sure that you are in full control of the camera. Yes for the milky water effect you need a very high strength ND filter and a long exposure image to get that look. It's more of a photo effect rather than a video effect in that case. 😃

Thank-you for replying to my questions and those tips will help me out big time! I haven't ever used manual in the 3 years Ive had drones 🤣 because I never knew how to, what a waste eh... of possibly better footage I could of taken but hey ho! I now have the Freewell megapack! So I best learn to put them to proper use! Oh no which one do I use first 🤣
@JustinBainbridgeYT6 ай бұрын
@Jakeydroney No problem! I'm here to help. It's okay, everything in life has a learning curve. You can still get good footage in auto settings, but learning how to use all the manual settings will give you a better understanding of the drone and also better footage. Haha yeah there are a lot in the pack. If you need more help I just released this video on how to make your Mini 4 Pro more cinematic which I think will help you. There's also a free 7 day course to go with it and one of the days is dedicated to manual camera settings. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5PZqHpvqc6FasU feel free to check it out 😀

Thank you, Justin! As a beginner, I just understood why I have to set up shutter speed manually and turn that exposure down with ND filter. Many other videos seems to focus how low shutter speed+ND filter can create nice motion blur when you film moving objects like waves splashing against the boat, and windmill blades moving. But this video explained how it also helps to reduce the so called juttering in the corners of the video, making it more pleasant/natural feeling for our eyes :)

Great video! One point I would like to add is to power up the drone at location with no ND filter and see what the shutter speed is in AUTO mode. Then you can figure out how many stops it takes to get to the desired shutter speed (1/60). Hence the correct ND filter to use. One last point, the advertised ND strength (or optical density) on the filter may be off by 1/3 stops to a full stops (manufacturing issues). So you may have to go back and forth between filters depending on which brand you have. Freewells also have known color cast issue with certain ND filters. BTW, you got yourself a new sub.
@JustinBainbridgeYT8 ай бұрын
Yes, very good point to add! Yeah the ND's do vary between manufacturers and even with the same manufacturers. I found most of the filters I've used in the past to be pretty colour neutral. But I always opt for high quality filters. That's the first thing the light hits before the sensor, right. So if we want good footage we need good glass. Welcome to the community 😁

I like this video a lot, but I have one question unanswered. In your test, you manually set the desired shutter speed, then try on different ND:s to see which one gives a correct exposure and looks best. My question is: If I wanted to use Auto mode, and since the camera will strive for correct exposure when in Auto, couldn't I just do it the other way around, trying different ND:s until I find one which gives me the shutter speed I'm looking for? I hope this question makes sense. Thanks again for a very infornative video ❤
@JustinBainbridgeYT6 ай бұрын
Hey! You could do it this way, however leaving it auto still means that the camera settings will change as you fly. It might show the correct shutter speed for a moment or 2 but the camera is always tweaking the settings in auto. It makes more sense to lock things in manual and then select the ND which gives the correct exposure. Its easy to see just by holding the filter infront of the lens if its the right one or not. After a few days filming you'll get a good sense for which ND will be needed for that flight too. Hope this helps 😀

Very helpful, thanks! I appreciated the direct comparison at the end. But now I am asking myself: In this pack i would have to decide between the UV or ND Filters right? So I couldnt get the lower shutter speed and UV filter at the same time. I guess that would mean the UV filter is best applied to shots where I have no motion, like a far distance shot? Probably those are the shots where the UV filter is most useful too?
@JustinBainbridgeYT3 ай бұрын
Hey! You got it pretty much right. The UV helps with large landscapes where you won't be close enough to anything for motion blur to be much of a concern. You could also use a polarised ND filter and get similar results. The polarisation also helps to give the colours a boost and increase contrast. So you could use one of those and still get the correct shutter speed. Let me know if this makes sense? 😃
@livinagoodlife9 ай бұрын
People shouldn’t get too obsessed with motion blur and the rules that were designed for analog cameras. Sometimes crispy shots just look better. Such as filming straight down whilst panning a scene. Also you don’t need your stick with the 180 rule.. again, that’s an analog rule that doesn’t apply exactly to digital. You can fly in 30fps and still get some nice motion blur with 1/120 shutter without over blurring
@JustinBainbridgeYT9 ай бұрын
Yep, this is also true and down to preference. I think using 1/120 shutter at 30fps looks good too. Especially when shooting FPV footage as the image can become too blurry otherwise. Sometimes a sharp image looks much nicer, but sometimes you need the motion blur to achieve the desired look. Thanks for the input. Nice points for thought there 😁
@regbanks78889 ай бұрын
I hear ya. I used to not use filters. Now I won't not use them.. Also just knowing that I followed the rule psychologically makes what I capture seem to look that much better. I highly recommend using nds. U can tweak the shutter a little. But not much if u care about your quality.

Hey! The all-day filters are standard ND filters, and the bright days are polarised ND filters. The all day will do for most people. The polarised filters will help reduce reflections but will need to be turned manually if you swap between horizontal and vertical otherwise you won't have proper polarisation. Polarised filters will also give you more contrast. For the majority of people, the all-day filters are easier to live with.

Once you've attached the correct ND filter to match shutter speed do you ever set shutter speed back to auto? So that it will mainly shoot at required shutter speed but will adjust slightly if needed? Sorry I don't own a drone yet so not fully familiar with the setup controls.
@JustinBainbridgeYT2 ай бұрын
Nope, the main reason we're using an ND filter is so we can lock the shutter speed to maintain the 180° shutter rule. I would recommend leaving everything set at a locked value for the shots. If you need to have the drone do some brightness changes, you could put it into auto iso, but I would recommend leaving everything locked for the most cinematic footage. 😃

Because we want out footage to look natural and cinematic. Turning off motion blur in games is the same reason why we don't want to run an ND filter on an FPV video transmission camera. When doing high intensity high presion work through a screen, you want the clearest, highest refresh, most crisp image possible. So your eyes can pick up on the smallest details when doing things first hand. But in the world of film and looking natural. Motion blur is essential. I like the question! Interesting stuff

I appreciate the examples and I can tell what you’re talking about but at the same time I’m like meh… I don’t know if it makes that huge a difference to me. Maybe I’m odd? Do people really notice this that much?

Hey! I'm glad the examples showed the use of ND's well, and no, I don't think you're odd. The thing with motion blur is that it's almost a subconscious thing that we see. It's the difference between a good and great drone shot. I do agree to an extent that for some people, it's just not worth the effort. I will always use them as I just prefer the look to everything being sharp. But in some cases, having everything sharp is preferable. I don't think people notice much consciously, but they'll just feel that the footage looks more realistic 😁

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.

Hey Justin, just opened my new Mini 4 Pro. Is it worth getting a CPL when you can just get a ND PL? sorry, new to cameras
@JustinBainbridgeYT7 ай бұрын
Hey! Cpl is useful for low light polarisation but they can be a bit finicky to get right. An NDPL would be a better bet as you're more likely to be battling reflections in brighter conditions 😁

Hello Justin Bainbridge @JustinBainbridgeYT just subscribed today after I unboxed my new DJI Mini 4 Pro - while charging everything I watched 8 of your videos and took some good notes - thanks for all the info. I have a few more videos to get through.

Hey! That's great to hear. Hopefully, you've got all the info you need to fly comfortably and get some great shots! Always happy to help, so I'm glad you're making the most out of the videos!

are ND filters only recommended for filming or for photos also? do the same rules apply for photos?
@JustinBainbridgeYT18 күн бұрын
I's still reccomend them for Photos. It'll give you more control over shutter speed and allos you to get some blur in long exposure photos. So you can get nice waterfall pics with the water being all blurred. Or you can chase a cara and the car will be sharp and the background/foreground will have nice motion blur in it. Hope this helps 😃
