Eurka! I get it now. You summed it up in a way that a hundred other people couldn't. "Allows you to set the correct shutter speed to get the appropriate motion blur."
That's the answer I've been looking for. THANKS!
I love how he immediately calls out the viewer for having already bought the ND filters... Felt like he was talking right to me
It's becoming obvious to me that you are a wonderful teacher as well as a photographer. Your explanations make a sometimes complex subject seem very simple. Keep up the good work..
Very kind of you!
Finally someone has broken down the ND filter / frame rate principles so that I understand. Thank you so much 👌
Have watched several videos on ND filters and by far your explanation of why and when to use them was the best. Thank you for the detailed explanation (and visual understanding) of them. Much appreciated!
"faffing around" is my new favorite expression.
I'm a complete newb with my first drone, no photographic experience at all and this channel is pure gold for all kinds of info...thanks man
Best explanation for need of use of ND filters. Far away shots may not need it. Lower light levels may not need it. Like he said, close moving objects in bright light may need it. I only use it near midday for cars or when hugging the coastline/ridgeline to accentuate motionblur with a stationary background. That said, I find myself only using the ND16 one. Hobbyists flying a drone and being the videographer is tough enough to remember to bring a bunch of drone accessories.
What an awesome explanation of ND filters, and why and when they are used. The veil from my eyes has been lifted!
It's a rare talent to be able to explain technical complexities to an eejit! You did it again!
Thanks a million from Ireland.
Best explanation I’ve found on ND Filters!!! Thank you for the video
WOW! I was seriously JUST watching videos about this subject and your video new pops up in my notifications! Thanks, man!
180 Degree Rule: Double the frame rate to get the best shutter speed for motion blur; as in 25 frames per second, shoot at 1/50th shutter speed. My concern is not so much people moving in my drone video, but the disturbing effect from flying over terrain, or when panning the drone. Would like to have as high as possible frame rate to keep sharp, but need somewhat slower frame rate to remove the disturbing "jitter" created by fast shutter speed. I guess I need to do the tests. Thanks for the explanation, it was clear.
Before I had a Mavic I never heard of ND filters. I've been reading so many tutorial and watched many movie clips over the last weeks. No wonder why there is so much confusion among photography "rookies" like myself. This tutorial rocks !! It clears up the myths, is simple to understand. No bull-straight-to-the-point explanation. Thank you so much and a huge thumbs up !! I will recommend this video from now on.
You`ve explained that really clearly. A few minutes and I know everything what I need. Thanks
Finally someone in youtube tells the real truth about the ND Filters. Thank you mate!
I have been working on an explanation for the ND scenario for a while but I have now binned it. Will simply point those who ask to this video. Thanks bud, keep up the good work.
Thank you for explaining this, I like the way you break things down and simplify everything. Great teaching mate . So glad I subscribed to your channel.
LOVE your Videos! Just got my Mavic Air last week, and very excited to continue to watching all of your uploaded content. Side note that made me comment was your use of the word Faffing about. Best thing this Canadian has heard in a LONG time. :) Keep up the great works! Much love from this Canadian eh! :)
You guys are funny together! Not in a bad way. I like it. Thanks for sharing all these tips!
Great work, of all the explanations out there, yours hits the mark for expediency and simplicity
- Cheers from Down under !
Excellent, clear explanation of why, how and when to use the ND filters - Top job!
Thank you for producing such a clear and well made demonstration of the use of ND filters.
Great video guys! Always appreciate the hard work and information.
It's videos like these that made me hit the subscribe button! Thank you for explaining this in a way that's easy to understand.
Best explanation so far I’ve found on TH-cam! Thank you!
And all that time i didnt knew l was loosing my time checking a lot of videos about that, you are the best to explain thank you!
Why I didn't come across this channel till date. SO MUCH informative. Thank you. Yes, Best drone channel indeed.
Brilliant explanation. Everyone I watched on TouTube told me I needed to use ND filters, but I had no idea why to be honest. Subbed and I will now be trawling through your previous vids.
This was great! The examples of faffing around with specific filters when the moment you're trying to capture is fleeting was great. As long as I'm a one-man production juggling filming with getting camping tasks done, I think I'll hold off on the filters.
Just what I needed! Just bought a pack of ND filters and have no real clue how to use them! Great video
Thank you so much. Yet again a great technical video explained so well
Best ND filter explanation I've watched.
Great video. Love the detailed info. This helped a lot. Thank you.
Wow , this is the best tutorial video on nd filters I've seen ..Thanks for the great detailed explanation
Awesome guide thank you very much. Your such a great teacher and you present amazingly. I now I understand why and when ND filters are need in cinematography.
This was extremely helpful as a new drone pilot! Thank you so much - liked and subscribed.
Best video on nd filters i saw so far! thanks!
Appreciate your videos! Best on TH-cam 💪🏼
A nice, easy to understand explanation. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the breakdown on these.
I've been running them from time to time, but mostly (not always) for landscape shots.
This explains why I'm hard pressed to tell the difference in post with my limited skills
😀👌
Thank you so much for that very informative video! Just what I was looking for!
Excellent just what i needed to know. Thank you and for the great videos.
Have just came across your video. I have to say it is one of the best explanations of one how to use ND filters on a Drone, where and when. I have just got myself a DJI Air 2S. The use of filters is very important with this drone. It can be a little of a guessing game as to what strength ND Filter to attach. Trying to achieve the correct shutter speed for your frame rate is not so much as important as you explained in your video. Very informative.
Dude u made this so simple thanks for not dragging on and getting to the point
Perfectly explained! Thanks so much! :)
Salute. I love the clarity of your explanation.
Now this is how you do a tech vlog. Simplicity! Thank you. Subscribed!
Very good video Captain C! well done! u really know your stuff! I wish I knew about the photography side of drones! I love drones & have a few DJI ones, but i'm pretty clueless on the camera side!! 😁
Perfect timing was just about to buy set ! Keep up the videos
Wow great advice. I'm new to drones and couldn't understand why I need them. I thought I needed a filter for pictures as well. Now everything makes sense. Thank you sooo much for the clear and concise explanation. Bravo!! PS. I subbed your channel.
Excellent description.Thank You
Listen to this man folks! It's always best to hear it from people who are out there making a living from this and have real hands on experience. Not like most youtubers who think they know it all but do videos just for subscribers. Good Job mate!
Really appreciate you acknowledging this!
Thanks for explaining this, now I understand. Great channel I have subscribed.
Awesome explanation! Thanks so much!
At last, now ND filters make sense. Thank you!!
great video ,very helpful and professional tips.
what a comprehensive explanation.......thank you
Thanks for the knowledge.
Subbed.
Keep sharing!
FANTASTIC - So Clear and Concise - Keep up the great work. If I was filming the ocean with waves etc from about 30 meters would you suggest to use a ND filter. Best Drone Channel out there. Thank you
Thanks from Las Vegas, this was incredibly helpful!
Wow you really helped me to understand when I need to use nd filters! I have polar pro... Next footages will good! Thank you so much!
Wonderful specifics --thanks a lot!
Just found this channel. Lots of great videos, subbed!
Great videos - helpful, informative, understandable and educational - thanks!
Wow, thank you for that explanation, real informative and educational.
I feel brighter already. Thanks from California mayte!
this was super helpful! thank you!!
Great tutorial, finally I understand when I use the ND filter.Thanks for sharing/.
That cleared that up nicely. Mostly shoot landscape so no rush to get any Filters.
Thank you, thank you. Just bought my first drone Air 2s and I have been struggling with this
One word about this video........ AWESOME!
Cheers guys, excellent as always.
1:34 thanks for clearing that out. Clearly, it's use purpose is rather different than that of a digital still camera. I actually wasn't sure what I would use my ND filter set for on my M2A, as I got the FlyMore combo with 3 NDs.
Brilliantly put across, I feel educated now thanks guys
Thank you!! you nailed it!! great job.
Thanks bro. I learned so many new knowledge. Stay safe.
This was awesome. Thanks for demystifying this.
Perfectly explained:) I use them on every shot apart from when its getting dark, you never know when a deer might run out or a bird fly past giving some motion blur:) Great job on your channel Stewart and Alina.
Hey! For sure, pro shoot (with pro NDs) then ND filter every time. A bird flying into shot is always the give-away. Thanks for your continued interest in the channel!
Finally i get it! That Mini is sick! So is your channel!
Thanks Mate. That was very helpful 👍
Thanks for the excellent video. You really help a lot of people.
I've learnt something else there, great clear info as always great stuff
Well, that was just what I needed. A great explanation, a few examples, snd left me knowing what I needed to know. I've just bought my drone and I'm filming lots of beach type videos. This has helped me lots. Subbed too :-)
Nice, easy-to-understand video. Thanks!
Loved your work on Outlander. 😁😎
Very nicely explained, thank-you!
Very well explained - thank you
Perfect explanation !!
Your channel Is Very good
Congrats!!
Greetings from argentina
Great Video- Well explained !
Fantastic video. First time here, this video definitely got me to subscribe.
Welcome!!
Great explanation and I finally understand why I don't need an ND filter for my still panos! Not coming from a photography background your explanations are "edumacating" me! Thanks!
Very well explained, thank you
Great video!! Will subscribe!
Excellent explanation; thoroughly understood.
Great Video with Great examples.
Really useful video. Thank you!
Great vid again pal cheers. If I don't use an ND filter the play back on my PC stutters. Flying a drone you have always got motion. The best footage is when you fly next to trees, rock face etc. Personally I use a 4 ND on mine all the time. Thanks.
Finally. Straight talk on NDs. Too many TH-cam channels preach the same gospel that you *must* get the 1/50 or 1/60 shutter and *must* have "cinematic" motion blur. No, not always. And, as you mention, they can be a pain in the neck. On the Mini2, getting them on just right can be fiddly. If you don't, you can easily have gimbal issues. I use them sometimes, but my default is not to. On the other hand, a circular polarizer is incredibly useful, especially for scenery.
