A couple of slight reference blunders to note in today's video. I do at one point incorrectly reference the SMIST 1/4 filter as SMIST 1. Please don't loose any sleep. Another minor reference error- the Polarising ND filters I incorrectly group together as 'the CPL filters'. The CPL filter is just one filter with no ND effect. Term accuracy is important but I do create my videos unscripted so slight blunders may occasionally happen. If I read from a script behind a comfortable desk everything could be pronounced perfectly technically..... but so so dull.
I aim to bring balanced reviews without being too pushy about shilling gear. But if you want to buy any of the products anyway, then thanks in advance to anyone who wants to support the channel through affiliate link purchase. It costs the same with these links as it would otherwise.

Loved this video, man! Your shots are cinematic and i love em. Just bought the kit too and im looking forward to using some of these filters.
I made a grave mistake, though. I inadvertently flexed my drone a little while using the Hinge dating app, and now I have a date reservation for Saturday, literally. Im just hoping she doesn't become too clingy, otherwise I may not have the time to test out all the new filters I'll be getting. You really do have to throttle it back when bringing up the drone in conversations like these.
All the best!
Great video. I'm new to the mini 4 pro so everyday is a school day. What mic are you using Ian and what is it connected to? Phone? Software? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the video. I really like how you implemented Ted's touch to your videos lately, really refreshing.
Enjoyed this, great job.
Really informative and beautiful work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Top job. I must say I enjoy you dry humour and style of video :)
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
Another great video pal 📹 🎥 really appreciate the time and effort gone into them
Cheers mate, Chester’s beautiful in the mist
If you made a specific video about photography with the mini 4 pro it would be a must watch for me, thank you Ian.
Thanks for the input Philip
Thank you for the review. I managed to get my freewell 16 pack to fit in the "man bag"... just. Definitely going to give the mist filter a try when I go to film the Clifton suspension bridge in Bristol.
Clifton suspension bridge is on my to do list, I saw it on the Ben Stokes documentary. Enjoy
I'd recommend Tintern Abbey if you come down this way as well. I filmed there with the mini 4, I made a video and put it on my profile. Nothing to your level mind.
love it mate. Fingers crossed for thursday! I've had a word with myself in regards to the yellow text. Interested to see the snow mist soon
Don’t let the yellow text defeat you mate. Yeah I’m excited for the Christmas scenes with it
@@Ian.A.Anderson hope Dave’s left that bridge
Really helpful video. Just ordered the 16 pack.
Many thanks. I’ve continued to use them regularly, especially the mist filter over Christmas
@@Ian.A.Anderson Nice! I look forward to testing that soon.
Very interesting video. I tend to guess what ND filter to put on my drones, hit and miss really. I doubt I would buy such a comprehensive set, i’m no pro. 👍
This is a great idea on taking your drone and multi tasking with it.
By the way what tripod are you using and why?
And what tripod would you recommend when using the mini 4 pro which I have.
Thanks for your video. It gives me some ideas when I travel.
Thanks. It’s an old Yunteng tripod. I don’t think it’s made anymore. I’m going to create an updated video soon with my recommendations
16 pack fits just fine in the man bag on the opening side and a spare micro sd card in its packaging in the outside zip pocket. Alas it leaves no room for your dreadnought .... not that you needed it anyway ;)
I fit the mega pack in my bag.
On top of the bateries and the remote.
Its a bit tight but it fits 👍🔥
With the ND filters, may I ask if there is any colour cast using them?
I don't know what editing software you use however I use Davinci Resolve and one of its many features is cleaning up voice-over audio which can strip out background noise. Just a thought for challenging background oik's.
😇
Funnily enough, Ive had a Pro Mist filter for about a year but been too scared to experiment with it. I had a play a couple of weeks ago with the local trams. I'm still sat on the fence with the blooming effect. Maybe I need to recalibrate my perceptions of what they do visually?
I haven’t noticed any colour cast yet. But bear in mind this is a large set I’ve only had for a brief time
Does the background noise clean up make the voice sound tinny at all? I’ve used Adobe. It’s great but sometimes I sound like a Dalek
I like the mist filter but I get what you mean
@@Ian.A.Anderson
Thankfully the audio sounds good, and you can dial in the background audio to make it sound more natural if required.
Check out a few TH-cams on the feature.
I suggest MrAlexTech for learning Resolve as painlessly and quickly as possible for editing.
@@frankinblackpool I assume the feature is just in the Pro version of Da Vinci? I use Final Cut but I could always use both programs for different reasons
Do you color grade your shots? Everything looks great. I’m just getting into shooting in d-log and have the 4 pack freewell filter.
I do grade yea. Nothing over the top. I’ve got a colour grading tutorial already up. I’ll make one specifically for the mini 4 pro eventually. But the old tutorial still applies
@@Ian.A.Anderson thanks a bunch. You’re doing great work!
Thanks for this great video. I want to buy the small pack with 6 filters. In your video you say the ND is almost the same as the ND/PL in vertical mode (while shooting horizontal). Do you recommend the ND/PL over the ND so you have the benefit of both? Or is the ND/PL only recommended for flying over water and less usable for land shots? Greetz from The Netherlands.
To my naked eye they seemed similar. But this wasn’t a scientific test with natural lighting changing. Next time I message Freewell I’ll ask if they’ve tested in a studio environment- it’s a good question
Thanks for your quick answer. I'm curious what Freewell has to say about this. Have a nice day! @@Ian.A.Anderson
Filters nd/pl will degrade image. Dont buy them.
Why don't you make a new video with your Mini 4 Pro and maybe the ND1000 to do Light trails photography like we do with our cameras on tripods ? Can it be done actually Ian ?
Hello, Ian. My wife became very excited recently when she saw me doing a firmware update. In the heat of the moment I asked her how she would feel if I ordered the Split ND 4-Pack from Freewell for the Air 3. She screamed out, “Yes, yes, order the filters.” I don’t have the Mini 4 pro, but I do have the Mini 3 Pro-no ND filters for it. In about 30 minutes I am going to do the new firmware update for the Air 3. If I get lucky, maybe an all-day Freewell filter pack for the Air 3 will be on its way. (By the way, she refers to my DJI bags as “European Man Bags” and she finds them very attractive.)
I would buy all the filters George. Maybe not quite yet the VNDXMIST Filter…. Keep that one up your sleeve for Valentine’s Day
Coming from Mini 2, I’ve never been in the position where I needed a ND filter over 16. I’m always shooting in the mornings and rarely in midday sun.
Looking to get Mini 4 Pro but why are these NDs have high density values? Am I missing something with these packs that go up too ND 128 or 256?
Hi Stephen, yeah in your case morning shooting I probably wouldn’t buy this pack. It has a lot of darker ND filters. I’d probably either buy just an ND 16 or the All Day pack, that has the ND 4 and ND 8. You ask Santa for the SMIST 1/4 filter separately
Could be wrong here but the All Day pack does not include ND 4 or 8. Looking on their site they don't seem to make those two NDs for M4P.
Is it down to the M4P having a aperture? @@Ian.A.Anderson
Yeah agree with you about Ted. Very good and very different from the normal run of the mill drone channels.
Yeah he puts it all into context and talks about cinematography. With humour and enthusiasm
How did you mount to tripod? (sorry if I missed it...)
Just use the propeller protectors from DJI plus electrical tape
great advice mate and i was chuckling "really annoying people"! but as they say....empty vessels make the loudest noise ha ha
Cheers Johnny. Imagine parents letting their kids fire pellet guns at street lights
Dude this video is great
Thanks!
Woah how did you make your subscribe button light up at :44? Thats really cool!
Favourite drone TH-camr hands down !! Gonna check the other guy you mentioned though
Legend! Thanks
I was going to buy the filters but decided on the firmware upgrade instead.
When he said “Yellow text” i immediatly knew and saw the tellow text drone youtuber hahaha
I think everytime when I switch from horizontal to vertical I must land the drone.... right?
No need to land. Just stop recording between switches
Ian are you shooting your videos in 4K/30 or 4K/60 with your A7Siii and the Mini 4 Pro - Man your shot matching is beautiful Brother 💪🏽 I just ordered the Mini 4 Pro, thanks for the insight.
I shoot 4k30 mini 4 pro. 4k30 A7siii for vlog sections. Broll on A7siii is a mix of 30,60 and 120
@@Ian.A.Anderson Beauty output and compositions Bro. It’s the small details, I see… the effort doesn’t go unnoticed 🥇
Ian how would you rate this mega pack vs the wide/anamorphic pack for the mini 4 pro. I have to lean your physical insight.
One thing which is rarely, or possibly even never mentioned in drone ND filter YT videos is how to calculate the correct value of ND filter for the prevailing conditions.
Now that really would be something for the ladies.
Am surprised you can’t get that large filter case inserted into the DJI bag, maybe you’re just not used to squeezing something really big into tight spaces….
I think it’s always slightly a blag with figuring out ND filters. Do we factor in the top down shot, which will be darker… or expose for the image we see immediately? I’ll definitely use that one next time I go to a bar
And yea I need go up my Bumble game don’t I
What tripod is that for the drone bud?
Hi Colin, it’s an old Yunteng tripod I’ve had for years. I’ve recently upgraded to an ifootage tripod. I’ll create a demonstration video soon
@@Ian.A.Anderson legend man thank you!
I never understood this, yes, a lot of people say that low fps is nicer and a blurry picture is better... I guess I'm weird, I like it better when the picture is moving and not blurry, when I can stop every frame and make it photo... Maybe it's because I play a lot of video games ;)
I think the motion blur thing is a bit overblown on TH-cam. It’s subjective isn’t it
I’m the same way. I like the crispness of 60fps
I found the mini 3 pro pack but not the 4
They’re on Freewells own site
I have decided a while ago I need extra batteries etc etc more than Filters, so I dont shoot with them anymore!
I like filters but they are not always as essential as we are told
Am I the only one that noticed you putting the condom in the DJI man bag??
Well done!
Thanks
Nicely shot. Two suggestions. 1. Perhaps do a side by side comparison of shots. 2. Get a manicure.
Thanks Adrian. Yeah I normally do side by sides. I’ll pass on the manicure though
Why are you worried about dudes nails man. He put together a decent video at no cost to you.
I bought a filter set and can’t see the value yet. For the average and even above average user it’s not going to matter much. I can see how professionals benefit in certain environments but not for an amateur like myself. Not only are they a hassle getting on and off ( I feel like I’m going to rip the gimbal off each time) , you have to guess which one will work best and burn through a battery launching and landing multiple times. Couple other things I noticed is they are sensitive to finger prints and they also cause weird reflections at times. I really don’t see the value for most drone pilots taking casual video for social media. One thang that is cool incidentally, I shined a higher powered blue laser through one of the filters that made a “star” effect and it looked sweet on the wall. Beyond that, they will sit there with the other crap I just had to have that never panned out. If you are on the fence with these, get some good 3 mile strobe lights instead lol!
@@fortyfour6626 daft essay ever
@@fortyfour6626 🤣
th quality is not that great i get vignetting and yellow cast with my freewell kit..
With which type from the kit?
Bro really recorded himself putting a condom in the (little man bag)😅
Rubbish, little bag from DJI...
