The Best ND Filters for DJI Mavic 3 If You Use This Feature
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- The DJI Mavic 3 is a beast when it comes to video and photo work but you almost always will need to use ND filters to get the best settings and exposure. Both the zoom camera and the main camera require very different settings and up till now you had to trade ND filters every time you wanted to switch cameras. Not any more! Freewell has released their split ND Filters series for the Mavic 3 and these ND filters are the Best ND filters you can buy for the Mavic 3 if you film video and use both the Mavic 2 Zoom camera and the 4/3 inch sensor Hasselblad camera.

Great video and landscape! Looking at getting a set for my new Air 3.
perfect!
This is awesome, I made a video regarding this a couple weeks ago and now they finally have what I asked for :)
NICE!!
This is awesome. Hopefully Freewell will make a Split ND/PL filter set
Thanks and I hope so
Boy, that's some really good information. I'd have never thought of that, and now that I'm seriously considering this drone, this is a real game changer. Thanks again for another primo video from you. Marc T.
Thank you
I wish I watched your video first on these. Such great concise info and you answered all my questions. Thank you!
You are so welcome and I am really glad to hear that!
Luv the video but wondering if you could do a video that includes a more in depth view on mounting the filters 🤔
I always feel like I'm stressing the gimbal when mounting filters on my M3
If you are worried about it you can mount them when the drone is off as well but yeah I feel the same way lol
Love watching your videos you are one of the best!!! What a great place to live so beautiful!!
Thank you so much!!
Always the best drone info and scenery, Jake. Have a great day! 😀
Thank you
Thank you Jake
youre welcome
Excellent Video On Freewell's New Filters For The Mavic 3. Thank You Jake.
thanks so much Doug
Another fantastic educational video! Thanks, Jake. I wonder why other companies never thought of doing the same combination. After all, it is not really a new technology but just mix 2 different filters in one!
Not sure but I’m super glad freewell did!!
Hey man great review and these things are essential for the mavic 3 but I have a question about your sticks, what are they? Thanks
Thank you, they are hanatori sticks from amazon
@@JakeSloan I appreciate that, thank you
ND filters…... I'm ordering the Bright Day 6Pack (Polarized Lens),
should I also get the All Day ND Filter 6Pack ?
I would get these over the all day pack if you fly the mavic 3
I’m flying the dji mini pro 3
thx , I think I should try the ND filters
You should
Bought these filters as I was part of the media team for a large festival. We wanted to test the telephoto to try and capture aerial video close ups, which had not really been possible before. These filters were brilliant and having the split meant I could switch between the lenses and still have the correct video settings. Previously, I had to land and change filters or overcook the x7. They are not cheap at £129 but worth it me. Just wish the carry box was a lot smaller as takes a lot of space in the bag.
Nice!!
Thank you Jake for this very informative video. Being able to use the telephoto at lower ISO is huge! I was also looking at PolarPro but as far as I know, they don't make split ND. I'd say Freewell is the clear choice.
you're welcome
Ahh... here it is! Good work. Absolutely awesome. I've been having good results as well..very curious what Philip Bloom thinks of these!
me too!
@@JakeSloan I've left a comment on his Mavic 3 "The Movie" -his list of Fixed/No Change needs updating since most of it has been provided (except Tripod Mode, in spite of his Petition") - in fairness, I don't think he expected these updates to take almost a year! If DJI only gave Mavic 3 the resources Mini 3 Pro got... sigh
Philip Bloom was the guy who persuaded Freewell to create these filters so he thinks very highly of them!
@@dfwald4657 which is exactly what he said when I asked if he was happy with the outcome!
Great video Jake!
Thank you for sharing your experiences, Freewell are the best ND filters in the market 👌.
I'm saving to try to get the Mavic 3 for this Christmas!!! This drone is my dream, I'm happy with my Air 2S and the Mavic 2 Pro but the Mavic 3 is a beast!!!
Regards 👋
Agreed and I hope you get one!!
Thanks for the great review Jake. Could you, or have you done, a tutorial on how to process for the best color on the telephoto camera? I am having trouble getting decent color, and contrast with the telephoto camera. Very much a newbie to video editing. Quite experienced on stills, but even so the difference in color depth between the two cameras is pretty dramatic.
I haven't done one yet but I will look into it!
Wow amazing video Thanks
Thanks to you
I'd love if they were polarized, but I'll probably buy them anyway. Thank you for the video
Cheers
Hi Jake hope your keeping good. Really good video about the mavic 3 and the supreme freewell ND filters. Just wondering wil you be getting the dji avata drone as i know you build and fly fpv drones. hope so jake? looking forward to your next video
I keep going back and forth about it lol. I probably will as soon as I can get my hands on one
Awesome video Jake!
Thanks!
Thanks Jake, great video! I notice you’re using the RC and not RC Pro. Do you feel there’s still a need for the RC Pro as I’m in the middle between purchasing both?
I still prefer the RC Pro but I hadn't tested the RC with the mavic 3 and it's surprisingly capable! Id say if you want to save some money and you know you will never need HDMI out or the extra buttons of the RC pro then it's a great way to go
@@JakeSloan since this last comment any other insight now to the DJI RC now that you’ve had a chance to use it more?
beautiful my friend
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks Jake
You’re welcome!
Hi Jake. I know you are showcasing the Freewell ND filters but have you ever used the Polar Pro filters and if so can you give your opinion between the two. You are obviously a very professional Videographer with incredible footage so I am curious what you think. I do realize Freewell makes great filters and I’m sure they are very good quality. I’ve been using a Polar Pro ND filter on my MA2 for awhile and it made such a difference with the color and contrast compared to a cheap brand I used which was terrible. I’m only a Hobbyist and I have purchased the New Air 3 for my personal use. The Polar Pro and even the DJI brand ND filters are still not available at this time. They are reporting they will be released soon but Freewell already has a set for the Air 3. If you are able to give an opinion I would appreciate it. I don’t use any social medias apps like twitter or Instagram so this in the only way I could ask you. Sometimes people won’t or can’t give opinions when they are advertising a particular brand. Thank you, Mike…
I have a set of freewell ones for the Air 3 coming, but I have also used polar pro in the past and they are very good but over priced I feel for what you get. In the end freewell or polar pro will both give you great results optically and with minimal color shift
@@JakeSloan Thank you Jake.
That's awesome but I'll wait until they're available on Amazon, seems Aliexpress has them but I don't want to wait 12 years to get them.
I did find a couple on Amazon but they’ve probably sold already lol
Hi Jake love your videos, I don’t have a Magic 3 but I do have that controller for my Mini 3 Pro. What kind of sticks are on your controller?
I’ll have to do a video about the accessories I use with my mini 3. I do love these sticks and got them off Amazon
Good video. I’m confused between these and the 4k series from freewell, would the 4k series be noticeable better? image wise? I don’t know which to get.
if you plan to use the telephoto camera then definitely these
In your experience, at what cold temperature should the Mavic 3 not be flown?
Well I’ve flown mine in -45f without issue soooo about that cold lol. I don’t want to fly it in anything colder 😂
@@JakeSloan Thanks! Was wondering with winter coming up if there would be any issues. That's insane it can be flown in that cold of weather. I really appreciate the content you put out. I've learned a lot this year from you and others. Why haven't you reviewed the Avata? Thought for sure DJI would have sent you one.
I actually just did review it, editing the video and hopefully will post it next week!
@@JakeSloan Fantastic, will get one as soon as I can. Super expensive but worth it I think. Look forward to seeing your review.
Great info. Are these ND filters polarised too? Are Freewell the only company doing these kind of filters? What about Polarpro?
They are not and they don’t have plans to that I know of
Do you recommend the Freewell split ND filters for the DJI Air 3 as well?
100% those are the best ND filters for the Air 3
@@JakeSloan Thanks!
Hey man, im struggling with this atm, what settings would you recommend for a clear and really sunny day??? My footage came out really over exposed and bright! If you could explain that would be much apreciatted!
I made a video for exactly this! ua-cam.com/video/-8Q5YmwznNs/v-deo.html
You must have bought another mavic 3? Great video 👍
I did!
Nice 😍👍
Thanks 🤗
@@JakeSloan welcome.. 🙏🙏
I owned these filters and the quality is indeed very well. However, I was a little fast in placing the order, you can also just set the aperture of the main camera to 4.0, so both cameras are using the same. Am I wrong?
The main camera is dramatically more sensitive to light so you can use the aperture to stop down in many situations you still cannot get the right exposure between both lenses as demonstrated here
I’ve only had my Mavic 3 for a few weeks but the sensor on the main camera definitely is more sensitive to light. At 4.5 on the main camera is still much brighter than F4.4 on the telephoto.
I have bought a Mavic 3 recently, any good video camara settings ya’ll wanna share?
I keep the iso as low as it can be and then set the aperture to 5.6 or 6.3 and use the nD filter that gives me the exposure I want
@@JakeSloan another question, why is it preferable to use a lower fps while recording rather than 60fps?
This is cool but does it matter when you go to edit you want all of your shots to be the same anyway. Is this really worth buying?
It does in the sense of they will all have the same (correct) amount of motion blur. Not totally needed but if you are looking for ND filters anyway these are the ones to get
@@JakeSloan Thanks, it looks like it's worth trying out. Very clever design to say the least.
Jake, great review of the new filters, I love your reviews, BUT, I'm shocked, at 4:50 you begin to pan, and what do I see - choppy footage!! AHGG! This issue, or as I'm calling it, a FAULT with the M3 (I'm on my 2nd M3 because of this fault!) - the footage is choppy, not smooth! Why is this Jake? How can we fix it? If YOU can't fix it, is the M3 really a PoS? There is so so much choppy video around which has been shot with an M3, and very few are mentioning it. I'm currently in LONG conversations with DJI aboout this issue. Still images are superb, but video is, mainly, IMO, garbage, because of choppy footage coming out of this drone.
choppy panning has to do the way camera sensors read out and it's very difficult to deal with either way. The best way is to make your pans slow and smooth, something I didn't really try to do in this video lol
The fact that DJI drones are for "professionals" but they haven't yet integrated ND filters into the camera systems themselves (like fuji, sony, black magic, arrived etc) is ridiculous. I get it, it takes up space, and makes the drone a tad bit heavier. I will gladly sacrifice 15% of my flight time for the ability to switch ND filters (forgive me ...) on the fly.
That would be nice. It’s difficult to implement though
They won't fit my cell phone so there not for me.......🤣
hahahaha touche
