I was always of the opinion, that ND-filters will not be necessary on the Mavic Mini. No manual video control, so no need for them.
Now, with the latest firmware V01.00.0500 everything is new...
So I bought the set of 4  - Bright Day Pack ND/PL filters and made today a quick test.
Just start from my house up in the air. It was a bit too dark for the ND32 filter in the beginning, but then...! have a look! UNTOUCHED Footage, there might be a lot of possible in post...

You should test them on fast moving objects.

32 is a bit too much on an overcast day.

Good job, I’d say I agree maybe an ND8 would have been better, the blacks in the shadows are crushed a bit, particularly in the opening scene, but you got a nice cinematic look to the footage, and you might be able to retrieve some detail in the shadows with small bit of post work. But overall great job .

I agree with the others, the 32 ND is a bit too heavy. You would do well to read up on the principle of Expose To The Right, or ETTR, and use the histogram to judge correct exposure.

ND32 is too strong here. I would recommend ND16 in this situation. But it is a good test with a very beautiful landscape.
