I have seen the blog and I suggest you do your homework before wasting your time using the filters. Using a drone to capture stills or video is no different than for normal still or video cameras. Go to a proper photography site and pose your question about nd filter use, there. You will soon realise that the need for an nd filter on a drone is very rare indeed. Get advice from real photographers. By the way, the blog mentions adjusting the aperture. Mavic and phantom drones have a fixed aperture so on that key issue, the blogger is talking rubbish. Regarding the depth of field issue, that is proof the person knows nothing about filters and drones. See how close you have to be to an object with tha aperture the drone has and its angle of view (focal length) . You will see from that the blogger knows nothing.
' You will soon realise that the need for an nd filter on a drone is very rare indeed.'
This is silly statement because you are not differentiating between shooting photos or video. For photos an ND is not necessary, but for video it absolutely is necessary, but not in all countries. Some countries are much brighter than others (northern hemisphere in particular). Here in Australia an ND16 filter is almost always required when shooting in sunny conditions.
To another point of yours, Phantom 3 models have fixed aperture, the Phantom 4 Pro has a variable aperture.
Fitting an ND is one thing, learning which one to select and using it properly is another. |
