Even if someone can pinpoint from what looks like 150' or more when it fell off, it's still going to be like finding a needle in a haystack, isn't it???  I would think it occurs at :33 when you see the whiteout...out over the water, probably.

If I remember how Sparks normally end up, the filter should be underwater.  Now get on the ND filter forum and claim their RTH software failed so you can get a free one.

Pilot error. He installed the N'to the Deep filter instead of a Neutral Density filter.

Look at it this way: the video is absolutely great for a "with or without" comparison!

I think you should check carefully next time before flight. Have fun with your drone.

Glad to hear it wasn’t one of the name brand ones because it really did give it a brown tint that a good quality filter shouldn’t give. Polar Pro are expensive, but they shouldn’t give that off colored tint like this one.

Had it survived the flight I would of thrown it in the river anyway, Poor design and poor quality. I expected more China!!

Not if you want to control the motion blur for cinematic footage in brighter conditions.
