Hi all,

As I received my Freewell All day 6 pack filters for the Mini 3 Pro,
Freewell just announced on their Instagram that they're working on a All Day Bright pack!
It looks like it's a ND/PL filter set.

Great that there is some progress, because i already saw them anounced on the freewell.de shop 3 weeks ago.
Delivery here should start July 6. Hopfully they keep that date.

Thanks for sharing Mini.

I got confirmation from Freewell that these are polarised ND filters.
It's a little annoying, as I just received my Freewell shipment of the "All Day Filters", which are all NDs.

Although sometimes, it's simpler flying with NDs.

Yeah, the ones in shipment to me are all ND and not polarised ND.

As i got never really familiar with the ND/PL filters for my MA2, i ordered the  "All Day Filters" and a "UV filter" today on Ali Express for a good price and Freewell additionally offered a coupon, so i got the "UV filter" nearly for free.
And the best thing is, the filters will arrive 3 weeks earlier than they are available in the shops or on Amazon in Germany.

Today is my happy day.
My filters have arrived after 9 days since placing the order and the first start up just showed zebra stripes all over the screen.
Seems that the Mini3P was shocked with it's new sunglasses, but switching to manual and back to auto right after, solved the issue and the mini became familiar with it's new sunglasses.
After a test on a bright overcast and warm day with  blue sky / sunny spots they performed as expected and the colors looked much better in photo and video modes.

I bought the bright day pack for the MA2, but never really used them because it is too much fiddeling around with those PL filters to get the right angle if taking videos, what i mostly do.
Maybe i will buy the single CPL if it will be available some day.
But it was a good job done by Freewell to add markers for vertical and horizontal usage on the PL filters.

I did the same for the MA2s. Then when the Variable ND filters came out, I rarely change my default filter

Hi all,

Just a follow up and posting a review for these filters:

This is a completely dishonest shill.  He thinks you're a clueless moron.

He "compares": unprocessed video shot without a filter, versus video that has had both a filter used AND has had a LUT applied in post-processing software.

There's no way to know what difference (if any) that the filter made, and what difference the post-processing color tweaks made.  So the "comparisons" are completely useless, and fundamentally dishonest.

ANY video or still image can be "improved" (made to look "better") using software to tweak colors, pull detail from shadows, etc.  Nothing new about that.

Freewell may make some really good filters -- I'll probably buy some myself.  But the video linked above is extremely deceptive and dishonest (apparently intentionally), and tells me nothing about how well the filters work.

Every video posted on YouTube should have some "Warning - Fake News" watermark overlayed across it.  Dishonestly has become so prevalent and ubiquitous that people have forgotten what objective truth looks like or that it even exists.  Greed and self-promotion are a cancer on humanity.  Ptooey!

Thanks for the heads up.

There was nothing dishonest about this.  There were tags on the screen telling you that a LUT applied so I don't know how that's being deceptive.  Also, I recorded all comparison shots in D-cinelike (both auto and pro settings) and was manually corrected through FCPX with a LUT added to both.,,NO post processing software needed.  But, of course you would assume that I did.  

The whole purpose of ND filters is to help slow down the shutter speed to created the natural looking motion blur in your footage and nothing else.  I think I've proven the point of how well they work.  By correcting the D-Cinelike footage and added a LUT didn't negate that.

Has anyone tried the DJI Mini 3 Pro VARIABLE ND-4PACK (VND 2-5 / 6-9 & VNDXMIST)?  I'm wondering how they compare to the All Day and Bright Day packs.  Thanks guys!!

Yep, have them both. Have had the 6 pack ND filters since the end of June and purchased the 6 pack PL's early July. Haven't had the chance to check out the Polorized one's yet
