How and when to use ND filters for your drone in three areas: photography, time-lapses or hyper lapses, and video.
The aim is to see if and why you should buy them and what kind of ND filters you should get according to different situations

Don't waste your money. The fact you asked the question shows you are not a pro photographer and have a long way to go before NDfilters become relevant to you.
There is an illogical assumption that ND filters make your photography better, if you fit them.
Read a Wiki about the filters.
Now think of the practicality of using ND filters. You have the correct filter fitted for your aerial scene and you take that shot. If you change to a different angle to the sun, for the next scene, you need to land and fit a different filter. Remember, they are like sunglasses of different darkness, so if you have a fixed aperture camera, you have no option to change strength when the scene lighting changes.
In video work the suggestion that it introduces movement blur is also nonsense. This is where spoked wheels seem to run backwards so bluring the image cures the problem. True, this does work but with modern cameras, you are behind the times and doing it wrong.

You can also use filters of different video editors.
