@@IdahoQuadcopter I have a Mavic 3 Classic and almost never bother with the Freewell ND filters, but because of your video, I realize now I should use one whenever the footage could benefit from it. Thanks!
I was pleasantly surprised to see that the DJI lens cover actually had glass in it this time. I don't think the Air 2s lens cover had any glass in it. Great testing Marcus, I was digging the motion blur. And I think you were right, the ND 32 might have been a better choice this day. Thanks for sharing.
This is awesome. I couldn't get much feeling of the motion blur. The filter is quite great. Your piloting skills are wonderful for the aerial view. Thumbs up. Stay blessed and safe bro. Welbeck here.
You videos are making it difficult to choose between the Air 3 and the Pro 3. Both seem to have a great zoom. Wish you would do a comparision of the two drones doing roof inspections, focusing on examing shingles, guttters and flashing.
Marcus, thx for the review; i plan on trying them out tomorrow afternoon on my Air3. I won, sort of, the Freewell 8 All Day Pack from Ken Heron at Minefield. Your review is tge first one ive seen of the Freewell filters.
It's only busy when you're sitting in it. The ND 64 looks good. The pool is perfect, the grass is green. Thank you. I haven't got my filters yet, but my Air 3 arrived today! Please tell me how long it takes to charge the batteries in the hub?
I changed my mind since the last time I posted, I should be getting my Air 3 in 2 days, also decided to get the Startrc ND filter set with a UV, CPL, ND8, N16, N32, and N64. I know they will not be the top of the line ones, but better than nothing. This hobby is getting a little expensive. A couple months ago, they opened a Slim Chickens here and we tried it and it was very good, little pricey, but they what isn't these days? Great video and thanks for the demo of the filters.
I have a question. With there being two different cameras and when you attach an ND Filter with the same number on both lenses, does it affect your recording when switching between the two cameras? I was just wondering because I see that there are also split filters available with different strengths for each camera on the same filter.
Thanks for the demo. I could definately detect the motion blur and have ordered a set. Is it just me or were the cars stuttery? seemed no problem after you moved away from the intersection.
Hi Marcus, a very nice video showing the benefits of using ND filters, thank you for sharing. When you were flying low, I kept saying to my monitor, turn on OA, turn OA back on. Then you realized that OA was off and turned it back on. Interesting that you didn't get low OA sensor output to your FPV screen. Maybe this suggests that turning off OA would save battery for long flights with the Air 3? Turning off OA on the Mini 3 Pro does nothing to conserve battery, but turning off OA on the Autel Nano+ give an increase of flight time of 15%. Maybe RTH should have been set to Preset so as to not fly so close to homes on the RTH?
Slim Chicken is pretty good, really good actually. We have one in Southaven, MS, close to Memphis, TN. I'm new to drones but I've been research this Air 3 now for a couple of weeks and it's probably the drone I'm going to buy here this week or next.
Thank you for your content I really appreciate it! I just wonder why don’t you prefer go for a bit higher ISO so you can bring the shutter speed up to 1/60 ? For some moments it’s seems too blurry imo (Especially when you where close to the corn fields) Thank you again 🙏
Marcus, are these the split filters Freewell is NOW selling (FW-A3-SPLITND) or the original first run - now discontinued, i believe. With the huge aperture difference between the cameras Frewell puts double the ND # on the 1x camera. For example ND16 on 1X w/ND8 on the 3x all the way to ND64 bottom/ND32 top. Works perfect. DJI didn't do it o their Air 3 Filters but the Mavic 3 DJI Filters use half strength for the 7x camera. Strange since Air 3 needs this more with the huge aperture difference between cameras 1.7 vs 2.8 PS. The Long Exposure Freewell for Mavic 3 Pro is SPLIT. It is a 1000 for the 24mm and 70mm and ND512 for the 166mm. Brilliant! They do a 2000/1000 as well - now we need the same for Air 3.
I've used some filters on my Air 2S, but nothing as elaborate as the set you have. I noticed that the auto setting allowed the camera to have an ISO of 260, but in manual mode you had to jump up 100 at a time. If you wanted the shutter speed to wind up at twice the frame rate, couldn't you have just set the shutter to 1/60 and then put the ISO in auto mode? That would give you the blur you wanted to get but still gotten good quality video? Have you ever tried an aftermarket APP to control a DJI drone? Something like Litchi? I always watch your new videos as soon as they pop up on my feed! Thanks for all your hard work!
Great content on the ND filters Marcus! Thanks for posting. If you haven’t already done so, try the Dutch Bros golden eagle, blended with an extra shot of espresso 👍👍👍 It’s good stuff brother
You mean you didn't see the part where I explain what ND filters are for, show how to install them, explain the 180 rule, show how to change the camera settings, then show a freeze frame so you can better see the subtle blur? Then I guess you didn't see the part where I did the same with the 70mm 3X telephoto camera? Thank you for watching! 🙂
UV filters are very much a hangover from film photography. Other than protect the lens they don't do much in the digital world. CPL filters need adjustment to get best results. Most effective when at 90 degrees to the sun. IMHO anything under ND32 is a waste of monkey.
Thanks for the filter demo and the tour of the area around Hero’s Park.
It is absolutely my pleasure George! Thank you!
That DJI AIR 3 is a fantastic drone producing an remarkable video!
I agree! The Air 3 is a wonderful piece of tech!
thanks Marcus!
Watched this on my 65" 4K TV and there is wonderful (natural) blur of cars that were moving.
That is great to hear! ND filters can be subtle, but they do make a difference. Thank you!
@@IdahoQuadcopter I have a Mavic 3 Classic and almost never bother with the Freewell ND filters, but because of your video, I realize now I should use one whenever the footage could benefit from it. Thanks!
@@user-jx3jp3gb4xyour Mavic has variabile aperture so ND filters are not so relevant on it...
@@Avoletta-qs6nf yes, you are correct :)

Great testing Marcus, I was digging the motion blur. And I think you were right, the ND 32 might have been a better choice this day. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Ron! I agree, I was shocked when I saw that the lens frame had glass in it. 🙂

Stay blessed and safe bro.
Welbeck here.
I'm glad you enjoyed it Welbeck! Thank you!
Stunning how flat the land is. Living in Norway we don't get that type of land. Great video.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for another great video! As always, they are a pleasure to watch.
It is absolutely my pleasure sarge! Thank you!
You videos are making it difficult to choose between the Air 3 and the Pro 3. Both seem to have a great zoom. Wish you would do a comparision of the two drones doing roof inspections, focusing on examing shingles, guttters and flashing.
Both are Pro level drones. I'm sure either one would do the job for you. 👍

I use the 100 watt charger, I think it took a couple of hours to charge all three batteries. Thank you.

@@IdahoQuadcopter We all expect to see a video of you and the missus eating at Slim Chickens! Put that Action 2 to work!
Thank you
My pleasure!
@IdahoQuadcopter question..
Do the freewell have glass?
@@oje101 Yes they do.
I have a question. With there being two different cameras and when you attach an ND Filter with the same number on both lenses, does it affect your recording when switching between the two cameras? I was just wondering because I see that there are also split filters available with different strengths for each camera on the same filter.
Yes, the cameras are different, and you would want to change your settings accordingly.
@@IdahoQuadcopter thank you. I should probably go with the split filters then.
Smart people. I love that area. I'd move there if the chance arrived.
It's a nice friendly place to live.
Have you had a chance to try Freewell’s split ND filters for the Air 3. They should work well with the two different lens apertures.
No, I have not. I do see the advantage. 👍
Thanks for the demo. I could definately detect the motion blur and have ordered a set.
Is it just me or were the cars stuttery? seemed no problem after you moved away from the intersection.
Thank you, I'm glad you found the video helpful. 👍

Thank you Richard! Yes, I would have really felt dumb had I crashed the drone into that tree! 😀

I'm new to drones but I've been research this Air 3 now for a couple of weeks and it's probably the drone I'm going to buy here this week or next.
You cannot go wrong with the Air 3. You'll love it. I look forward to trying Slim Chickens!
👍🏽…..Great job Marcus , I have the split ND 4 pack coming from Freewell. I am interested in the polarizer filter.
Thank you! Freewell does a great job with their filters!
Thank you for your content I really appreciate it!
I just wonder why don’t you prefer go for a bit higher ISO so you can bring the shutter speed up to 1/60 ? For some moments it’s seems too blurry imo (Especially when you where close to the corn fields)

Thank you, I do see your point. I was trying to overemphasize the motion blur for the sake of the demonstration.

No, these are not split filters. It's the same strength for both cameras. Thank you John!

I always watch your new videos as soon as they pop up on my feed! Thanks for all your hard work!
Thank you so much Fred! I've never tried Litchi!
Enjoyed your video.
Just curious…Are you flying BVLOS???
Thank you for watching!
awsome footage Marcus
Thank you for watching Henry!
Great video, Marcus
Thank you for watching Robert!
Great content on the ND filters Marcus! Thanks for posting. If you haven’t already done so, try the Dutch Bros golden eagle, blended with an extra shot of espresso 👍👍👍 It’s good stuff brother
I do love some Dutch Bros! 😀
Hi Marcus.....CHICKEN, it's what's for dinner.....LOL.....Freewell sure makes a great filter pack.......👍
I need to try that Slim Chickens!! 😂
That was cool.
Thank you!
I think you succeeded with motion blur when flying over the crops that you couldn't identify.
Thank you! Yes, I should have pointed that out. Thank you!
The video quality always looks better from your channel.
Maybe you can give Bill some tips? As there must be a difference in how you upload?
Thank you! I always upload in 4K. 👍
Marcus.If you want moton blur you need to get down to a 1/4 sec exposures.
Thank you, Phillip. I have another video that shows super motion blur coming out in a couple of days. 👍
Thank you Marcus 👌🏼
Thank you for watching!
Nice 😎😎
Thank you, Jesus! Cheers!
Slim Chickens gets 👍🏼👍🏼
Burns going in burns going out.
Did yall know that a group of vehicles leaving a traffic light is called a platoon?😊
Ha! Good to know. 😀
i did not see any motion blur, not any detail analysis while shooting with filter, all we see is introduction of City😅😅😅😅😅

Thank you, I agree the UV filter is most valuable as a lens protector.
Hopefully, someday a reputable company will send you filters.... Hahaha!
Ha! Love me some Freewell!
