Got notification today it's back in stock but DJI took too long to stock up the ND filters that many 3rd party already catch up. Got the 4/8/16/32 yet to test but think they will do just fine. Didn't check its weight but definitely smaller than the stock cover.

Also got myself a cheap 65watt charger that works well.

I think this is a problem with most filter manufacturers. None of them have noticed that it has a f1.7 aperture optic, which means about 1.5 stops faster than the Air2s for example.

Yesterday I was recording at beach, I have to configure 4k@30p: ISO 100 / exposure 1/8000 (maximum value) and I get +0,3EV . This means that I need a filter with about 8 f-stops to get the proper exposure time for 180º rule, this filter is even more than nd256. So ND 64 in this drone could be for the cloudly days, but for sunny you'll need ND256 for sure.
I don't understand Polarpro or Freewell, they stops in ND64. I just buy an JSR filters (Aliexpress). I don't know the quality but are 16 (for night hyperlapse), 64 (cloudly), 256 (sunny) and ND1000 for silk effect in water and snow.

65watt Quick Charge GaN PD charger got it from Shopee origin China, free shipping with other bundles and about USD 11.47 after conversion. Didn't really time while charging the Mini batteries but definitely shown as "Super Quick Charging" on my Note 20 Ultra.

About USD 18.18 for the 4/8/16/32 ND filters.

Hello there Nazar78. Good day and thank you for giving out these information with us. Just a friendly reminder to please be careful in using 3rd party accessory on your DJI Mini 3 Pro.

Thank you.

So if the motor failed which caused the aircraft to crash, 3rd party ND filters will void its warranty?

Two friends have bought these filters, When I receive mine (16 - 64 - 256 - 1000) we are going to meet to compare it.
In first test they said me what I suspect, too short in a sunny day, maybe the 64 is ok for cloudly day, but not for sunnys.
But we have to do more test, when we can do it I'll share.

In the other hand, It's interesting to get PPS charger to control better the charge of battery and extend battery life.

I have had really good luck with Freewell filters on my other DJI drones.  They are well made so I just stick with that brand.

Bonjour
Je pense que les filtres 4 et 8 ND seront complètement inutiles sur le mini 3 avec son ouverture fixe 1.7. Par contre les fabricants quelqu'il  soit on oublié de sortir le ND 128 qui sera je pense très utile. Je cherche désespérément le 128 ND si quelqu'un a une adresse à (l'unité) je suis preneur.
