What ND filters are you using to shoot 24fps at 1/50th ISO 100 in bright daylight?  M3P has a larger f/1.7 aperture and I'm wondering if I need an ND64 or ND128 for bright daylight shooting?

Anyone shooting 4k60?  If yes, what ND filter would be needed for 1/120th ISO100 in bright daylight?

This depends where you are in the world and how strong the sun is (and summer v winter).

4k60 you'll likely want ND32 or ND64.

128 maybe if you go to 4k/30.  Maybe.

Hello there Black Diesel. Good day and thank you for reaching out. As posted above it will depend on lighting conditions on what ND Filter will you need on your DJI Mini 3 Pro. In addition, ND Filers are needed in scenarios of shooting long exposure or against strong light ( e.g. long exposure timelapse ). Thank you.

Here is a little video showing you the different strengths of each ND filter side by side. You should find it helps a little.

I have found that of late (during the summer, I have just put the ND128 on and left it fitted, serves most of my needs at present,

Thanks, I figured it would be between a 64 and 128.  

But I have bigger problems, my signal and connection suck:

Just download the Polar pro app, it tells you what filter is required for the shutter speed your trying to achieve. Double the frame rate, 30fps normally 1/60th shutter speed, it calculates your requirement. See screen shot.
