Xiaomi Fimi X8 SE Review ND8 Filter

[@АлексейГрищенко-с1г]

Thre is no overexpose camera with ND filter, so we have much more video information. Without filter we lost a lot of info in white color. Nice coparisson!!

Nice comparison 👍

[@Duranafy]

Thank you Resh!

[@RalfBeckerSLS]

Nice Video. How do you mount the filters on the camera? There is no thread and no bracket.

[@OdinTheTall]

I wish he would've answered this question.

[@manicviewsmnl]

You are using your filters wrong. ND filters are designed to control the amount of light entering the camera and allow for a standard shutter speed closer to 1/60th if you are shooting 30fps. You can't do this on auto. You need to set iso to manual and compensate by feel on the x8.

[@Duranafy]

Good advise and thanks for sharing!

Nice picture quality

Thank you! Cheers!

Can these compete with dji mavic air 2

[@Duranafy]

Yes flight time, range and video quality. The do not do so well in the autonomous flight modes. But most people dont use them. I wish they had panorama pictures I do miss that!

[@BlairAir]

Have you experienced any filters falling off, in flight or while landing? They don't exactly have the worlds greatest mounting system... or ANY system for that matter.

[@Duranafy]

Yes upon landing and at take off

[@BlairAir]

@@Duranafy Thanks Al. I'll watch out for it.

Fantastic pictures! My next test is... Software fimi navi 2020 with the old fimi X8SE

[@visitperaiagreece]

I keep losing filters because they fall off. This must be a common complaint.

[@Duranafy]

I have been lucky and have only lost one. Maybe adding the silicon sticky stuff used on the letters that contain the credit cards.,

[@FPV420.]

One thing I cannot get. Why on earth white objects are so overexposed? On my FiMi X8 SE I experience the same and I haven't found a way to resolve this. Any idea?

[@Duranafy]

I know right. I have tried using ND filters and changing to Vivid to compensate as much as possible. Notice that if I lower the Gamma in POST the vids come better.

[@BlairAir]

This answered my primary question (do I need ND Filters) -obviously yes, at least in these conditions. Do you use CPL, and how does one set up CPL on a drone... trial by error? Also, you did not appear to suffer horizon alignment issue; as far as I could detect. Was it an issue with earlier FW versions? Thanks for a great A/B comparison!

[@Duranafy]

The horizon issues shows up on after you upgrade the firmware because it change your settings back to default. The fix is to go back in and change your gimbal gain and manually adjust your horizon on the bench.

[@BlairAir]

@@Duranafy Thanks Al - I have learned a lot from your experience and I'm really grateful. Jealous of that FPV you got but it's beyond my budget. If you ever get tired of it... (like that's gonna happen)

[@christophersurdo718]

This drone is X8 SE or X8 SE 2020? If it's X8 SE 2020, where have you buy a filter?

[@christophersurdo718]

@@Duranafy What package do you suggest to buy?

[@Duranafy]

@@christophersurdo718 It takes a while to receive these packages. Therefore, I purchase with the most Nd filters and special effect filters. I like and use the star filter a lot at night!

[@christophersurdo718]

@@Duranafy what are the differences between the various filters?

[@Willemopper51]

Welldone Duranafy. Good comparisson. I will also take the ND filter, I think it is more naturally.

[@kenweller2032]

Very nice. What camera settings did you use?

[@Duranafy]

Everything is set to automatic!c

[@alexreisinho]

X8 dont have manual balance...so Filters at this moment in X8 are usefull

[@Duranafy]

Yes, true

[@os5734]

Can you please send the link for this filter you used .. thank you

[@karolyburka7864]

The dynamic range is too low... The mavic 2 pro or the autel evo II pro is much more better... And much more expensive!!!!

[@OdinTheTall]

more better
