More about ND Filters for the DJI Mavic 3 Classic
Why should you have an ND filter for your DJI Mavic 3 Classic Drone?
Generally, filters are used to create or reduce an effect. Neutral density filters or ND filters are used to achieve a uniform darkening of the image. This effect is comparable to sunglasses. Neutral density filters are made of glass or plastic and are screwed or plugged in front of the lens.
The darkening of the image is achieved by neutral gray colored lenses. That is why they are called gray filters, among other things. In addition, the use of ND filters allows flexible adjustment options, such as the shutter speed and ISO value of the camera drones.
In addition, gray filters are needed for long exposures with a drone. The smear and flow effects are caused by slow shutter speeds.
Neutral density filter exposure times when photographing with drones
- DJI ND4 Filter: Passes 1/4 of the incident light, Reduces light by 2-stops
- DJI ND8 Filter: Passes 1/8 of the incident light, Reduces the light by 3-stops
- DJI ND16 Filter: Transmits 1/16 of the incident light, Reduces the light by 4 stops
- DJI ND32 Filter: Transmits 1/32 of incident light, reduces light by 5 stops
- DJI ND64 Filter: Passes 1/64 of the incident light, Reduces the light by 6-stops
The higher the number, the darker the ND filter. In this case, the higher the number, the less light gets through. This means that a higher ND number allows longer exposures. Read more about ND filters exposure times and consult our table.
Meanwhile, there are also hybrid filters, which are a combination of polarizing filters and neutral density filters. Hybrid filters for camera drones combine the advantages of the CPL and ND filters. Light reflections are minimized and the image is evenly exposed.
