⚠️DJI has FINALLY released an update to allow manual exposure adjustments in VIDEO! Learn more in my latest video: th-cam.com/video/SpQ9LQ5St8Q/w-d-xo.html
They are necessary unfortunately. Even with manual exposure you need the filters to reduce the light coming though the lens to get an optimal shutter speed. Not an ideal situation to have to make the purchase but the quality is so much better.
Polarisers don't remove all reflections, it depends on the alignment and where the sun is in relation to the camera lens. That's why they have a white mark on the front. You should shoot a video that shows the difference with the filter adjusted.
@@Gravedig00 No not overall blur as far as footage. You want motion blur when objects moving in footage so that it looks natural to the human eye instead of being overly sharp and choppy which is not pleasing to the human eye.
If you want cinematic looking vids on bright sunny days, ND64 should be used. For overcast ND32. You want the Mavic mini to have a slower shutter speed so you can have that smooth cinematic blur between frames we are all accustomed to.
Graeme Stevens how is it click bait? He says you need this accessory, says what the accessory is in the video title, then shows you the video. I’ve worked in film for 20 years, so I know the value of pola and ND filters. 90 percent of casual users will never have heard of ND filters. It’s good info for beginners.
I stand corrected. The title only shows freewall, the brand of ND. I do stand by the necessity of ND and pola filters, and the general populations lack of knowledge about them though. Good info for the minis target audience.
To those saying that this is super expensive, $12/filter for a well-engineered one is not bad. Mirrorless and DSLR filters can run anywhere from $20 to over $100 each.
Few thoughts: Not a bad video. Info is helpful & appreciated. Thank you. However, first few Comparisons in vids with or without filter, not very sinc'd or long to get a good view. Just as I'm looking at one side to get an image and switch to the other, it switched to another segment. Finally, next time, PLEASE SPIT OUT THE GUM.
I have ND filters for my Autel Evo, they drastically improve the image, especially for when trying to acheive natural motion blur. I really wish that DJI would unlock manual video settings for the mavic mini because honestly that's all that's holding it back in my opinion. Great video!
For sure. The day they unlock manual controls in VIDEO for the Mavic Mini is the day I downright recommend this all around for lose not needing 4K video and wanting to get into flying drones.
If you press the lock on the lower right hand on the screen in the dji fly app, you are actually able to manually change the iso and shutter speed of the camera
Good info. You are correct about spending money for quality filters. Cheap filters will definitely render poor results. Also, even with manual video control, you cannot reduce glare. You need a pola filter for that.
They do the same with photos. If you want to shoot more open, get that butter bokeh in bright light you use a ND filter as well. Any Landscape photograper will use then all the time
@Carson Miller i have a question: What's the weight for the drone with filter is on. I am afraid it be over the 149 g rule, if not I want. Great video 👍
Can now change the exposure with the Mavic Mini, so that negates it, plus don't forget, adding this will make the drone OVER the 250g weight for the FAA. You'll then need to register it.
How do you know which ND filter to use? And since it’s auto shutter, how would you know whether the shutter speed you want is being achieved by the ND filter, is it just trial and error? Thanks!
As far as knowing which to use, the booklet that comes with the filters is incredibly helpful at guiding you to which filters you should use and in which circumstances. I’ve just sort of memorized some of that over the years of using ND, so that’s sorta how I personally know. But, as far as knowing if the filter you choose does affect the shutter speed as much as you would like it to, sadly, that one is more of trial and error. Because DJI doesn’t offer even the ability to see what shutter speed that they’ve chosen for you automatically, you just have to put them on the drone and see what the image looks like on the app before taking off. Personally, I’ve found ND16 introduces minimal motion blurring on very sunny days, with ND32 being pretty moderate and ND64 being very heavy motion blur on a very sunny day. I usually stick with an ND32.
I just ordered some variable filters made by freewell for my zoom 49$ for a 2 set they make them for the mini you could’ve saved some money good review though!
I’ll never understand why people spend all this time making these videos and don’t included pricing. Fastest way for me to never watch their reviews or videos.
I love my mini, bug remember the filters will pop the mini over the 250gm limit. Of course, the chances this will be picked up, but still a consideration.
In my opinion the image of the mavic mini is always to bright, but isn't it possible to change the exposure with that ev thing in the bottom right corner? Of course not that specific as in a real manual mode. But anyways its definitely not replacing an filter 👍
The thing is this changes the takeoff weight. Even the little sticker from the creative kit does. And with this comes more regulations where I live soooo these filters are no option for people in Germany I guess
I’d love to get a polarizer lens but not all of them. Is there a good one out there or does it only come in a bundle? I’m new to drones and your videos are pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.
A Polarizing Filter on a drone like the Mavic Mini seems useless because once the drone is in the air you can not rotate or adjust the lens to get the desired affect
Yep, as I mentioned, and even linked in the description, some cheaper filters DO exist. However, I have, on numerous occasions, encountered those as having bad discoloration occurring with them when in use.
I was like "oh sweet some good filters that I'm actually getting to see a review on, I'll check 'em out." And the price of the set you have is $99... I bought a budget drone... and you think I'm gonna spend $99 on filters?
Hey Carson how do you make appear the iPhone look to the left of the screen at 5:42 , why kind of app do you use or software? Or if anybody knows how to that I appreciate that..
I use Final Cut Pro X on my MacBook Pro 2018 15”.

I have a DJI Osmo Pocket. I plan to buy the DJI Mavic Mini. The camera-heads on both look about te same. Can I use this ND filter set for both Osmo Pocket AND Mavic Mini?
Hey Carson - I purchased and installed some motor covers (they look cool - red) but now I'm getting a payload message and my outbound distance is limited. They only weigh 1g each. Should this be? Should I even use them? TIA
I did not measure the weight of the filters. Being so small though, they’re incredibly light, but, they probably weigh between 2-3g for the ND filters and then 3-5g for the ND+PL filters
This is real expensive just to be able to had motion blur. Probably that we might be able to add some in post (i know it wont look as natural but still. its 100$)
I really don't see any difference at all. I bought some ND Dilters a few months ago too and felt I wasted my money. Not for me sadly. Great video though.
Hmmm, I have not experienced that. I’ve tested all the filters now and have noticed some vignetting on the higher ND filters but that was black vignetting, no red that I noticed :/
I’ve heard about this before and it seems to be just a reflection of the red circle of the filter, perhaps carefully painting it black with a sharpie might help?
Anyone here knows how I could fly my Mavic Mini in a subdivision that is in a NFZ? It says the location is near the airport but I I'm only flying like 15m because the houses are only 8m high.

Me: Looks at wallet
Wallet: Don’t think about it
xD
Also my wallet: and don't even think about that drone...
With the new update to the Mavic mini you can now manually adjust you’re exposure even while recording
ISO and shutter speed, or just EV?
So you get blurry video with filters? Who would want that?
@@Gravedig00 No not overall blur as far as footage. You want motion blur when objects moving in footage so that it looks natural to the human eye instead of being overly sharp and choppy which is not pleasing to the human eye.

Speaking of weight, does it now weigh 250 grams with the filter attached and require FAA registration?
The first thing you should’ve done is mentioned how much
When you buy the filters and a month later they update it and you don't need it anymore 🤣🤣🤣

Does it weigh 1 gram?
Tiffen filters rule the air
There are settings to change the camera movement to make it more smooth. It would be great in combo with these filters.
Please fly it over water with the polarized filter, dying to see if my mini will help spot fish and structure under water.
@Carson Miller i have a question:
What's the weight for the drone with filter is on. I am afraid it be over the 149 g rule, if not I want.
Great video 👍
It's a 249 gram rule
oooh so teeny..i have to have them lol

GOOD SHIT. THANKS.

Harry potter on video 😁
Is the weight over 250g when u put a filter on tho?
New subscriber.. Awesome video.. Thank you so much. Will definitely going to be purchasing

Bro i been watching u since u use phantom 4
Wouldn't the added weight of the filters make it so you'd have to register the drone?
Cool video so what are they building over the foot ball field and a base ball field and a school next?
School was already built, they’re just adding a new football field + baseball fields!
I just ordered some variable filters made by freewell for my zoom 49$ for a 2 set they make them for the mini you could’ve saved some money good review though!
If you go in Pro mode, you can do all but the aperture.

Manual exposure adjustments have just been released in the new firmware package. YAY!
YESSS! New video covering this coming next week - stay tuned :)
@@carsonmtech I installed it last night. Man what a difference! It took a great little drone that is awesome for what it is and made it a beast.
I love my mini, bug remember the filters will pop the mini over the 250gm limit. Of course, the chances this will be picked up, but still a consideration.
Love your profile pic, alfa romeo its so underestimated.
Thank you. I am a tad Alfa and Vespa obsessed. Had a few Alfa's over the years.
I find American made Tiffen filters to be excellent for the mavic mini
GUUUYYYY!!!! Thanks for the information... These ROCK!
Nice video sir very well done, I have some Phantom 4 ND filters Freewell sent me a few years ago and love ‘em!
Thank you! Also that’s pretty cool hope those are fairing well :)
In my opinion the image of the mavic mini is always to bright, but isn't it possible to change the exposure with that ev thing in the bottom right corner? Of course not that specific as in a real manual mode. But anyways its definitely not replacing an filter 👍
Thanks for the video, I just ordered the 4pk polarized set. I can wait to film youth football games with them on.
The thing is this changes the takeoff weight. Even the little sticker from the creative kit does.
And with this comes more regulations where I live soooo these filters are no option for people in Germany I guess
Great Video mate. Iv bought a set of filter to help with sun glare, they work really good.
Great video. Thanks for the review. If you were to recommend 1 filter for everyday use, which one would it be? Would a cpl make sense?
The mini,s Camera seems to be 2 stops over exposed ?
I’d love to get a polarizer lens but not all of them. Is there a good one out there or does it only come in a bundle? I’m new to drones and your videos are pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.
A Polarizing Filter on a drone like the Mavic Mini seems useless because once the drone is in the air you can not rotate or adjust the lens to get the desired affect
That's cool, though before I started watching your video I was sure that you had found something to add the tracking on Mavic Mini!! 🥺😢
I thought it’s a Circular polarizer, not a clear polarizer. Old polarizer filter were linear, the new ones are circular.
I decided to purchase the Skyreat filters as they had better ratings.
There is a cheaper set on amazon for around 30 bucks for the cheapo guys
Yep, as I mentioned, and even linked in the description, some cheaper filters DO exist. However, I have, on numerous occasions, encountered those as having bad discoloration occurring with them when in use.
Hi Carson! Nice Vid!
I was like "oh sweet some good filters that I'm actually getting to see a review on, I'll check 'em out."
And the price of the set you have is $99...
I bought a budget drone...
and you think I'm gonna spend $99 on filters?
You can adjust exposure, check the update
thnx for these videos, they are all awesome
What is the difference between the filters, like when should I use one vs the other
I toaaatally NEED this

I have a DJI Osmo Pocket. I plan to buy the DJI Mavic Mini. The camera-heads on both look about te same. Can I use this ND filter set for both Osmo Pocket AND Mavic Mini?
Is there a way you can have a co-pilot have his own screen and also control the camera with the Mavic Mini?
With the Mini, no. I’ve only ever seen that done with the DJI Inspire line!
Couldn’t take my eyes out that N 🤣
How much would one filter weigh? Might it be, ONE GRAM? Tryin to get people busted.
Hey Carson - I purchased and installed some motor covers (they look cool - red) but now I'm getting a payload message and my outbound distance is limited. They only weigh 1g each. Should this be? Should I even use them? TIA
but you can change the exposure value and color temperature on the Mini.
In photos**** - the Mavic Mini still does not allow changing the exposure manually in VIDEO mode, which is what I’m most commonly shooting in.
helped? or describe what I'm missing in your statement.
You can change the exposure with video and then lock it I do it all the time ...
Does the filter put it over the 249 gram mark?
Its good 👍👍 don't forget....
Cool vid 👍
Thank you Leroy :-)
you say put the filter on from the top but freewell say to put it on from the bottom
Are you using SD card name please tell me डीजेआई मेविक मीनिं
Yep, it’s just a 32GB SandDisk MicroSD card
Big thanks i was planning to buy but before i watch you video but after this i want to buy it
thanks again ................
Thanks for info.
Shame they don't do a ND32 or ND64 other than the polarized versions.Palarizers add unwanted effects at times,ND filters do not .
What is the weight ? Need to keep it under 250g total.
I did not measure the weight of the filters. Being so small though, they’re incredibly light, but, they probably weigh between 2-3g for the ND filters and then 3-5g for the ND+PL filters

huge fan 🙅♂️
I’m glad to have you around :)
I went to the link and shipping was $20 on a 4pk set. Went to Amazon and same package was $5 shipping. Guess where I purchased them.
Why not just grade the images ? Ideally you need to show a comparison with/without/graded.
how i wish to have that drone😊 even without a drone im still enjoying watching drones review❤️
Does it make the dji mavic mini more then 250 g?
I really don't see any difference at all. I bought some ND Dilters a few months ago too and felt I wasted my money. Not for me sadly. Great video though.
Drop the gum while filming :)
How do you get the mini picture of you in the bottom right hand corner?
I have the same set. I’m having an issue with some red vignetting in the bottom corners with the polarized filters. Have you experienced this as well?
Hmmm, I have not experienced that. I’ve tested all the filters now and have noticed some vignetting on the higher ND filters but that was black vignetting, no red that I noticed :/

1luisavil I haven’t even touched them since I got my Mavic Air 2 but thanks. Freewell refunded my money for that particular filter
1/3 of the price of the drone for some filters?
Hi. First of all great video thanks. You’ve showed us how to put the filter on, my question is can you show us how to take the filter off? Thanks
That you found it helpful! It’s the same process, just in reverse.
Yeah batteries aren’t number one 🤦♂️
Just subscribed; thank you for sharing!
But it will weight over 250g right?
How much is the filter?

thumbs up , i got the sunnylife 6 pack set, im happy with that
Am I the only one who didn't see much of a difference?
So do you live in Carson City?
Oh dude that's awesome I'm always forgetting allll my passwords lol is it on android???
