This guy really does an amazing job of making these tutorials.... no nonsense, full range explanations without any fluff. DJI should pay him & leave the entire tutorial design sector up to him. Lol. Fantastic job. Thankyou!!
Instead of trial and error. Take a reading of your primary subject watching your ev# or histogram. Note the shutter speed then count how many “stops” it will take to bring the exposure down to your 180 rule. ie. you want to shoot at 4K 30fps so your shutter speed should be 1/60th - you take a reading and find with no filter the correct settings should be ISO 100 ss 1/500. You need to bring your shutter speed down 3 stops to 1/60 so you have to use an ND8. Each stop increases or decreases exposure by 50% ND4 = -2 stops ND8 = -3 stops ND16 = -4 stops ND32 = -5 stops And so on.... In shutter speeds the stops are as follows (sample)... 1/500 1/250 1/125 1/60 1/30 1/15 1/8 and on
@@FlytPathHave you been able to find any gimbal adjustments outside of just the standard calibration? I have heard some rumors that it may be available in IOS (in beta release?) but not in the Android version of DJI's Fly app. Lack of these tweaks would definitely be missed.....
Just received mine a couple weeks back. Since this is my first drone, all your vids have been super helpful, well presented and easy to understand. Cheers from Australia
Dude! Just ordered one last night! It's my first drone and I am so stoked I found you. Such an informative, beautiful, and to the point video. Just subscribed and going to dive through your content as I wait on shipping. Nice shots of wind n sea by the way!! Bay Park here. Excited to join your community.
I took my Air 2 up for the first flight last night. I was going to throw the ND 16 on real quick, but I struggled to get it on there. So I'm glad you made this video. I had no idea about twisting off the ring. Thanks, You Rock.
This is the clearest simple to understand explanation and instructions on nd filters and overall camera settings I've seen. You definitely earned your thumbs up and my subscription. Thank you
Pretty much I stay with your tutorials they seem to be the best mix of presentation and usable content on youtube without all the long intros. I really hate when someone puts up a vid and spends 5 minutes with personal or long a long lead in. Thanks
I been practicing every day in the afternoon. After work. I been trying out picture taking with ma2. I also been practicing movement with the video. Combine motion is awesome. I only got the filters it came with. The fly more combo. I use the 16 almost always.
Great video for filters--though it is worth mentioning if one is really watching conditions and even with the MA2's fixed 2.8, one's understanding of current lighting conditions and picking relative filter per the conditions will save you hundreds of dollars over a variable aperture camera. Knowning photographic conditions will just give one an overall boost anyways when shooting high quality video and/or photos. As long as the MA2 is compensating via shutter speed to match ambient lighting conditions too fixed aperture, even with 2.8 one can nail a shot. The only camera i know of that shoots more wide open would be the Evo 2 and then you go way higher on pricepoint. Que sera sera.
Appreciate the lesson, I haven’t tried filters and this really helps for installation. I feel like the gimbal is fragile so hopefully I won’t break it putting a filter on for the first time.
@@vaideeshwarjh6969 I am somewhat newer to flying drones, but love it and I'm in for the long haul, lol! I live closer to the airport, (PIA). I go wherever I can. Lately, I've gone down to Coraopolis and Leetsdale and have been flying around the Ohio River. Whereabouts are you from?
I ordered Moment's variable ND (2-5 stops) filter as soon as I acquired my MA2, and it finally arrived in early July. Now that I've used it a decent amount I am pleased to report that it is a brilliant piece of kit, and that I'll be picking up the 6-9 stop variant. Not that the filters including in the Fly More Kit were inadequate, but the versatility and quality of the variable NDs makes them much more attractive for my use.
Love how much time and effort you are putting into creating and uploading your videos! You have been very consistent which I really like! Keep it up! Another great and helpful video!
Good video. So basically the ND 16 is seemingly good enough for bright situations at 1/120 shutter speed according to you. The other 2 strengths are for stills then I reckon.
Still waiting for air 2 fly more in UK 4th June fingers crosed but currently flying the Mini. I for one am getting so much out of your instructional vids. Thank for your time.
Just found you and subbed dude! Getting my Mavic Air 2 Fly More Combo tomorrow upgrading from a Yuneec Q500 4K. Wanted something smaller and better lol keep up the great work man 👍
* NOTE: in order to get the right exposure, multiple strengths of ND Filters may be needed. This is why DJI sells another set of filters. If you want to be prepared for changes in light, you will need multiple strengths of ND Filters. I have links to the two filters packs below. DJI Mavic Air 2 ND Filters 4/8/32: geni.us/cioX DJI Mavic Air 2 ND Filters 16/64/256: geni.us/dLpY
Nearly had a heart attack trying to swap out the nd filters! The clip adapter was incredibly stiff from the factory, so much so I thought I was going to destroy the gimbal, thankfully it eventually released & seems to have loosened up after using it a few times.
I’m new to your Chanel & love it & all the tips, my air 2 Will be arriving in a few days so I’m here learning as much as possible to hopefully be great with it
Wow, great video! We just got the Mav Air 2 for our channel videos and I'm trying to learn about the ND filters and how to best use them. This video is just what I was looking for! Subbing now and will be checking out some of your playlists -Josh
Hi there I recently bought the mavic air 2. I'm only new to drones and not experienced in photography at all. As a novice do I need to learn all of this stuff about filters, do I need to worry about changing filters. It's all gone a bit over my head even though your vid was really good. Thanks for the content. I have literally just unboxed it so I guess I'll learn as I go.
I just got my Air 2 over the weekend and love it. I also have the original Air, but the Air 2 is the best drone on the market, especially for us photographers By the way, I appreciate your perspective since you’re also a photo-first kind of guy. Thanks and keep up the great work
High-quality video. the explanation is found very insightful, even for someone like me who has no experience whatsoever on videography and photography. So, new subscriber. I am now developing the interest and attention to this because I want to learn how to shoot and edit properly and your channel seems to be the right path. That is why I sold my spark because I want an upgrade, and the magic air 2 seems to be the one. Unfourtanetly I don't have the money yet, and the fly more combo is really hard to justify especially here in Australia. I thought to get the basic package with 10% discount plus an additional battery making the purchase a bit attractive. BUT, I do not know whether I might regret not getting the FMC (I don't care about the bag and the other stuff apart from the batteries of course, that is why a second one is enough for me, and not sure about the ND Filters yet), so are the ND filters really worthy given my situation and would they impact at first in my experience?, if so, should I get the ones provided in the FMC or others with different strength? I appreciate your thoughts...and keep it up.
So glad you are so informative! You have prepared me so much for my first flight. And i bought the fly more combo so this really helped. Appreciate you!
Hey Aldryn, thanks for cover the ND filters that came with the #MavicAir2 Fly-More Combo. Yeah, the most usable filter is the ND16. I know both PolarPro and Freewell have their filters on preorder as with other manufacturers too. Again, thanks for the overview on installing the filters, take care!
Thanks, that was useful. The only obvious thing to me was that they reduced light intake but everything else it was novel. I guess one can buy other nd filters for the Mavic Air 2 on the Dji website.
Hi I love your videos. Very informative. I am new to drone and I have a mavic air 2, my question is why is it whenever I take nice videos (at least I tot I did), when I go home to review it, it doesn't view the same - it stutters and lags and choppy. Please make a video to address this issue? You're a lifesaver
For my Mavic 2 Pro and Zoom....I commonly use Freewell ND Filters, ND1000 will be my choice for long exposure aerial photography and ND 16 CPL for usual videography. Not sure the quality of DJI filters....because I think this is the first time that DJI comes with its own filters.
Hello and great vids, Thanks. With that said most TH-cams I've watch are regarding filters to get the right motion blur. I'm a Home inspector wanting to get the best pictures to find issues during a roof inspection using a drone. So, tips on how to make changes for mid day and late afternoon photos would be extremely helpful and now that it is winter, how to take pictures when there is snow around. Yes, much of a roof may be snow covered but, I still want to see the parts that aren't. Any tips or tricks would be greatly useful!!! Thank you. FYI a know many inspectors that are getting drones for this purpose. We don't typically shoot video's, we shoot photos. And we want the best resolution to see any defects.
Thank you for a great introduction to the ND filters for Air 2. For shutter speeds of 50 or 60 (when filming 24fps or 30fps) would you recommend the ND16 on a normal sunny day or would you prefer a 32? I’m a little curious on the 4/8/32 pack, whether it’s worth getting or not...
Andrew Hunt polarizing filters are now available from PolarPro and Pgytech. At least for pre-order. About $70 for a 4 pack of ND/PL filters in 8/16/32/64 ND from Pgytech. Shipping is supposed to be late this month. They also have a single CPL (no ND) for $15.

I had literally no idea what an ND filter is and how it can be used on a Mavic Air 2 camera before watching this. Great video !
Happy to help!

What’s the 180 rule?
This was probably the best explanation of motion blur I have seen in a long time. Very informative as always! Keep the MA2 video's coming!
Thanks, will do!

HI Aldryn! I am from Cyprus and I like your videos. Keep the great work and thank you for the explanation.
Thank you for the filter demonstration. It's nice that they included a couple basic filters with the combo kit.
Appreciate the lesson, I haven’t tried filters and this really helps for installation. I feel like the gimbal is fragile so hopefully I won’t break it putting a filter on for the first time.
Glad it helped. Its easy to change the filter

I never would've guessed motion blur was actually desirable.
For waterfalls it’s extremely desirable.
It gives a cinematic feel during video.
I'll be curious if there will be other filters you could install on this drone in the future. I'd personally be interested in a polarized one.
