If you want SMOOTH AS PIE footage you need to slow down the shutter on the DJI Mini 3 Pro.
TO do this you will need a good set of Neutral Density (ND) Filters.
Adding ND Filters allows you to slow the shutter down so you can achieve natural looking motion blur in your video.  In this short video I share some footage, how to fit them, my thoughts and a little joke

Hello there Hitmax. Good day and thank you for posting this interesting video that you have filmed and created for the DJI Mini 3 Pro. Great work and thank you for your support.

I have never found the urge for ND filters and dont care about motion blur. Me thinks these are just another way to shoehorn more money from you wallet

Thanks for sharing.

You should have a word with the entire cinematography industry. You would save Hollywood MILLIONS with such impressive insights.

Interesting video.    I pre-ordered a Freewell 6 pack of ND filters.

Looking forward to your video on the Mini3P Active Tracking.

Thanks for watching those Freewell ND's look good - I have got the SkyReat and Polar Pro ones on the way as well

Exactly each to there own

I see the Freewell kit has a ND 1000 probably the only one  I would use on the Mini 3 Pro as I only do stills. Has anybody seen just a single ND 1000 available anywhere? Many thanks

You're very welcome.    I have used Polar Pro NDs in the past and had no issues with them whatsoever but I just keep going back to Freewells.  Guess I just like that brand best.

Good video!

PS, my rule of thumb is that there is a lot 'more important' things you can do to get super smooth footage.
ND filters are very low on that list for me.
(only when everything is perfect, the ND filters will make it even better)

ND1000 likely essential for smooth timelapse on this lens.

Sometimes it feels like people believe these are magic 'bettermakers'

I know and believe me there isnt - I am no way near as good as I want to be and although the gear helps skill and practice is what it comes down too cheers H
