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!

@droneservices8993 7 лет назад

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..

@MattFoster01 4 года назад

I love how he immediately calls out the viewer for having already bought the ND filters... Felt like he was talking right to me

@mousepotatop9767 2 года назад

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.

@mavicmovies2074 7 лет назад

Finally someone in youtube tells the real truth about the ND Filters. Thank you mate!

@jeffMinnesota952 2 года назад

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.

@garethcornish5715 5 лет назад

@tedcraft2193 3 года назад

Finally. Straight talk on NDs. Too many RU-vid 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.

@jagwal1 6 лет назад

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.

Hi... I filmed with my drone in a very bright day and the video had a terrible woobling effect (I don't know if it´s spelled correctly) and I've searched a lot for a solution of how to correct this problem and the only answer I got was to use ND filters... Do you think this is the right way to solve the issue?

@KillZoneGamingdude 7 лет назад

Alejandro Sanchez are you referring to the jello effect or is there actual artifacts on your screen? Try inspecting you gimbal make sure the rubber ring didn't work it's way loose that the surrounds the entrance of the gimbal into the drones body ..... long shot but hopefully it works

@terrysmeaton2279 3 года назад

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.

@thejimmy6533 3 года назад

@@mattremer9507 The easiest way to figure out what filter to use is to first set your shutter speed according the the frame rate of the video you are recording. So if it’s 30fps, you’ll want a max of 1/60 for the shutter speed. With the ISO set at 100 (we’re trying to minimize the amount of light coming into the lens, so set the ISO as slow as possible), attach a filter to the lens and then check the exposure on your device’s screen. If the exposure is too bright, go to the next “darkest” filter. Of course, you’re doing this while the drone is still on the ground (or in your hand). Once you’ve found the filter that results in the best exposure for that particular lighting condition, make a mental note of that. You’ll find that you’ll quickly learn which filter will work with whatever the lighting conditions are at the time. If you’re always shooting on sunny days, it’s likely you’ll he using the same filter for that. Cloudy days, or at dusk or dawn, you’ll probably use a different filter.

So glad you explained this on youtube- now I can simply point to your video when I have an insane argument with some one re ND filters. Sick and tired of this argument.

@BassPlayerAvailable 7 лет назад

Excellent video. This is THE TRUTH about when you DONT need to bother using an ND filter. As a rule of thumb to work out if and what ND filter I need to put on my Mavic Pro I point the drone in the direction of where I will be shooting at about head height before I take off to calculate (You can just use trial/error) which ND fliter SHOULD work best in theory. It may change when you're up in the sky but its a good starting point.

I prefer the 'dark glasses' analogy. Motion blur is a second order effect of reduced light / increased aperture?

@dougrowell7817 5 лет назад

Useful too in still photography if you want shallow depth of field. Allowing a wider aperture. That said, it's easy these days to drop to a very short exposure to achieve the same effect. In my early days, the best you could hope for was 1/1000. Thanks Stewart - a lot of this info is out there, but you pull it all together and present it in a simple and engaging way.

@crawfb 6 лет назад

1:25. To be perfectly accurate (and pedantic), the sole purpose of a ND filter is to reduce the amount light coming through your lens. That's it. Everything else, setting shutter speeds etc., is a result of having lower light levels to play with. I have been using ND filters since the steam age of photography and to hear them referred to (constantly) these days as 'sunglasses for your lens' just causes me to gnash my teeth and rend my garments.

@clydedigital 6 лет назад

Well, all good, but since some people asked about slow motion video, shooting at a high frame rate with the intention of slowing down in post, etc., it’s worth noting that with video as with photography there are times when you do not want any motion blur. It follows that the 180 degree rule and the desirability of motion blur is purely subjective. Anyone who watches things like football or golf in ultra slow motion knows that in some scenarios it makes sense to use as fast a shutter as possible and remove blur so that you see every spec of detail. That all said, I have seen excellent still photos of golfers and footballers that have a lot of blur. It depends ultimately on what you want to achieve and what you find desirable and pleasing to the eye. This is art, after all. And good artists when it comes to video and photography know what they want and how to achieve it. The more you familiarise yourself with all this, the easier those sort of decisions and how tto achieve desired results gets. Professionals are doing this just about every day, all day, iit’s their bread and butter and they of course are bound to be better at it, but anyone with practice can get there.

@Mike-hm2gc 7 лет назад

I've been waiting for this video so long, thanks for sharing! I also have the Sandmarc ND filters and they are great. My only issue is that they don't have an ND32 filter so in sunny days (thinking that ND filters must always be used for getting better results) I wasn't able to film with the right shutter speed. Would you say that using "auto" is a good idea for capturing slow-moving scenic clips with little motion(no ND)? Or still manually adjust shutter speed?

@shepshape2585 2 года назад

Hopefully you or someone equally knowledgeable will see this and provide an answer. Aside from the correct amount of motion blur, I was led to believe that ND filters also help with cutting down sunlight on bright days. I live in FL and most days are extremely sunny and bright. Also, if we're at the beach, you have very bright sand and very reflective water. Wouldn't an ND filter help cut that down?
