Thanks a lot for the explanation regarding CPL filters. I just bought the Freewell new design CPL and ND16/PL filters for my DJI Mini 2. Still waiting for the delivery and can't wait to use it.
I really like that the new Mini 3 Pro that has avoidance systems and high wind stability. As a Nature Photographer, the new gimbal rotation will be nice when combining a Moonrise over a mountain. I think your CPL filter may be just what will make things better than my Mavic Air 2 could capture. I have used CPL filters on my DSLR and 6X6 cameras for many years.
ok so ND filters can improve your photos and the filming you take, but coming from using a camera for my holiday pics ect to now wanting to film / photograph while im out droning, i have found having to decide which filter to use has become more of a pain when i havnt got the correct ND filter on, my solution is to just use my CPL filter, this covers so much more variants while im out droning, who wants to keep returning to home just to change a filter to meet the conditions in flying in. i want to be up there in the air as long as possible, not adjusting the filters, the CPL sorts this for me, and the results i find are adequate for my shoots. still not as good as a polarizing lens, but i cant adjust that if its up in the sky like i would on my camera in hand.
It sounds like you've found a practical solution to balance convenience and performance with your drone photography by primarily using a CPL filter. While ND filters can enhance footage by controlling light and creating cinematic motion blur, constantly switching them mid-flight can be cumbersome, especially if you're out in the field for leisure or during an extended shoot. The CPL filter offers flexibility by reducing glare and reflections, especially on surfaces like water or glass, and improves contrast without requiring constant adjustments. Although the results may not be as tailored as using dedicated ND filters, the trade-off for staying in the air longer and capturing more footage without interruption makes a lot of sense. It's all about finding that balance between convenience and quality, and it seems like the CPL filter works well enough for your needs in those scenarios.
Yes, CPL (Circular Polarizing) filters are excellent for reducing reflections on water surfaces, which makes them particularly useful when capturing footage of underwater scenes like shipwrecks from a drone. By minimizing glare and reflections, the CPL filter helps you see more clearly through the water, allowing for better visibility of submerged objects. However, the effectiveness of the filter can depend on water clarity, lighting conditions, and the angle at which you are filming. For drone footage of an underwater shipwreck, a CPL filter would significantly enhance the quality of the shots by cutting down surface reflections, making underwater details more visible.
Very useful! Got a question though...if I'm filming with a gopro and I want to shoot while I'm moving (walking, running, etc.) and use a cpl filter, would I need a gimbal or the stabilyzer of the gopro is enough?
GoPro’s Hypersmooth will typically work almost just as well as a gimbal, so I wouldn’t worry about it. However, if you have a GoPro Hero 7 or 8 the Hypersmooth won’t be as good as something like a 10 or 11.
Hi. Thank you for the video! Can you use CPL filter together with Freewell Variable ND Filter 2 to 5 stops? I mean on the same lens at the same time. Thank you.
@@DimusTech you have to remove the same highly recommend you watching first 3 video on this playlist ru-vid.com/group/PLbvSQ3vHGE2ukUOL8wQhaDNVm8M-8lQzh
The CPL filter is great for reducing glare during the day. For night shots, especially to handle glare from car headlights, I’d recommend using our Mist Filter. It softens the harsh light and helps create a more cinematic look without losing detail, making it perfect for shooting in low-light conditions www.freewellgear.com/magnetic-quick-swap-system/1152-2216-m2-magnetic-quick-swap-nd-filter.html#/49-dslr_thread_size-82mm/238-filter_type-glow_mist_1_4
@@FreewellGear So, if we want to reduce the light with vnd and prevent the effects of light reflection on the glass withe cpl at the same time, is there a solution?
The mist filter is an essential tool for your upcoming night scene in a horror film, especially when shooting indoors. It softens the overall image quality by subtly diffusing the light, which helps in creating a haunting, ethereal atmosphere that is perfect for setting the mood in horror genres. This filter effectively smooths out minor blemishes and wrinkles, enhancing the ghostly and mysterious ambiance you're aiming for. Its ability to lower contrast without compromising on sharpness adds a dream-like quality to the scenes, making it a must-have to achieve that chilling visual impact that will captivate your audience. Investing in a mist filter will undoubtedly elevate the visual narrative of your film, making every shot more compelling and in tune with the eerie theme. www.freewellgear.com/en/magnetic-quick-swap-system/1152-2333-m2-magnetic-quick-swap-nd-filter.html#/49-dslr_thread_size-82mm/239-filter_type-glow_mist_1_8
When using ND filters with your DJI Pocket 2, it's essential to adjust your settings to maintain proper exposure and achieve smooth, cinematic motion blur. A good starting point is to follow the 180° shutter rule, where your shutter speed should be set to double your frame rate. For example, if you're shooting at 24 fps, the shutter speed should be 1/50 sec, and for 30 fps, set it to 1/60 sec. Using ND filters will help you achieve these slower shutter speeds even in bright conditions, preventing overexposure. Additionally, keep your ISO as low as possible (ideally at ISO 100) to minimize noise. Since the DJI Pocket 2 has a fixed aperture of f/2.0, controlling exposure through shutter speed and ISO, combined with ND filters, ensures optimal video quality in varying light conditions.
Hey, Thanks for your message. 1. First of all, no stacking on VND; they do not have any front thread, nor can you put any of the magnetic filters on top reason VND is always more significant in size than a regular filter to reduce the chances of a vignette. 2. At the same time, you cannot use VND & CPL together because VND is made of 2CPL, so putting another CPL on top creates cross-polarization. Thanks
I don't understand. You are saying you cannot use VND and CPL. I just bought the Eiger Matte Box VND Starter Kit and on your website, you are saying: "When CPL used alone, it acts as a polarizing filter. Combined with a 1-5 or 6-9 stop filter, it transforms into a Variable ND filter." Can you explain please?
