Interesting to see how neutral they actually are (some earlier models of that brand weren’t).
You’ll get a lot of use out of the 64 and 128 for sure.
ND8 and ND16 unlikely to be of any real use on a f/1.7 lens.
Also whats up with the polariser - how do you adjust it?

Just tried it and its fixed with the maximum effect being in portrait mode, a bit naughty that

Had this discussion with the owner years ago with the M2.
He seemed to have no understanding of how and what circular polarisation worked or why there isn’t simply a “max” setting.
Gave up trying to explain reflection angles. He just thought a CPL was a no adjustment needed fixed bit of glass that always worked.
Even on the non rotating cameras the thing was sub optimal most of the time depending what you were flying over and the angles.
Yes I agree and a lot of people think that a “Circular polariser” mean that it is just round!
The one I have for the mini 2 is adjustable. I would of held out for the DJI or Pola kits but I am away on holiday before they are released

I’m interested in the Wide-Angle Lens but dji do not have it on there UK website but it’s on dji’s italian website but will not deliver to UK DJI Mini 3 Pro Wide-Angle Lens - DJI Authorized Retail Store
I see there is a couple of UK websites that are selling them but also heard that they might damage the gimble ? So do not want to take the risk of a third party product.
This is just my opinion of course, but polarisers on a drone are almost useless, circular or otherwise, and can only be effectively used in a limited amount of circumstances. In order to get the maximum effect with clouds they need to be adjusted correctly and be pointing 90 degrees to the sun, so no use for panoramas. On wide angle lenses they will create banding where the effect will not cover the whole of the frame, they can also introduce vignetting. They are useful for tighter shots where you can set the maximum effect in the area you want and then crop the rest later. Also very good for removing reflections from water, windows, car body work etc and can increase saturation a little. I have used the cpl on the mini2 only half a dozen times, the 8 and the 16 nd only to try out. I wish I had known this before ordering the whole set as the ones I got were available as singles at the time.

Polarisers are not high on my list of filters to use on a flight as the only thing I would use it for would be to remove reflections from a scene I had planned to shoot everything else can be done in post editing.
I think every filter will have some limiting factor but as long as its part of your flight/project plan and you understand what they do then they are just another tool to achieve the look you are after.

They’re extremely useful if most of what you do is still photography and particularly if shooting around lots of water (tropics etc).
Yes you need to plan the shots ahead of the flight and adjust the CPL but thats no different to any other photo shoot.
Its very very rare my Mavic 2 Pro takes off without a CPL on it.
I do very little video flights and if im looking for wide angle i take the cpl off.

My son wants ideas for a present for me, what do you guys think of these:

I appreciate Freewell filters do appear to be the ones but too much for his budget.
Thanks
Can anyone recommend a good set of filters for the Mini 3 Pro please, I have had a look around the web and some makes sound a bit dodgy. Mainly I am looking for a low ND polarised filter and a few ND filters.
Thanks … Rod
I here this brand mentioned many times & are supposed to be good with excellent results,
If you want to go all out although pricey I’m sure there’s everything here you should ever need,
Thanks, II have heard of this one in YT videos, I wonder if the video presenter is paid to promote them

I never responded to your post regarding filters. The post you copied/linked to was almost two years ago and not a direct reply to yours? Your reply makes it look as if you think some of us are talking shit? I’m sure we have a block button somewhere, just got to find it. In the meantime, you crack on The-Hive
They are of no use whats over on stills , apart from a cokin grauated tobacco ;o)

Sorry @mynameisjoe I have just found out that my post has been merged with another much older post, I didn’t realise hence I got it all wrong. I do not think anyone is talking s*** it was a genuine mistake as I was looking for help on choosing a make of filter and thought there was a sort of sub-thread going on.
I certainly did not mean to upset anyone or cause a problem so once again my apologies and IO have deleted the post.
Sorry about my post @milkmanchris my post was merged with a much older thread and caused me a lot of confusion, so sorry if it appeared i was being rude, that really wasn’t my intension
