My New filters arrived today, photos below, paid $109NZD from AliExpress. Came well packaged and fits perfectly on the drone. Shot the below Waterfall TimeLapse with the ND1000, let me know your thoughts. Unedited footage, just added music.

Great job on the timelapse Suren.    That looks like a nice set of filters.

that's really cool.  will have to look into getting a set!

Well done that was stunning to watch.

For the price it seems worth it until better name brands drop

Thanks mate, you too, enjoy the weekend.

Had the shutter at its 2nd lowest setting, i think 1/25 with ISO at 800 and WB on auto, shooting at 3X Zoom lens

This is very nice.
Did you also try to make one with some movement (from the drone)?

Suren Posted at 6-1 16:59
Thanks mate, you too, enjoy the weekend.

Thanks for the well wishes Suren.  I plan to go scuba dive this weekend and check out a reef that was man made twenty five years ago from a couple of old merchant ships.

Thanks Monty, I want to try the hyper lapse waypoint around that same waterfall when we have better weather

You're welcome. We have terrible weather with it raining everyday so every little break I get, I send the drone up. Enjoy the diving mate

Yeah, I'm curious about that.

Storm blew in here yesterday and hopefully will clear by later afternoon.  Today it is too choppy and visibility would be a no go at that site.  So hoping Saturday or Sunday will be better weather.

Keep on flying  and filming Suren.

Had a great dive on that sunken ship.  I took along my underwater metal detector but didn't find anything worth bragging about.  

I did get circled by a 2.5 meter long shark for about 2-3 minutes.  I guess he figured I was not worth eating as he finally just swam off.  I was ready though.  I had out my knife and spear gun at the ready.  I've had a few smaller ones swim up to me and usually if you bump them on the nose with the knife handle they get the hint and swim off.  I try to never have to spear them as that would only draw in many more sharks.

Whoa, scary to be swimming with sharks especially one that big, you are brave. I tried diving once(in a deep pool) I could not do it, feels like I was been suffocated. I rather sit and watch the fishies from behind a glass

    I guess I was lucky as I found out quickly how much I love to scuba dive.  To me it is very calming to be a hundred feet down and just enjoying seeing various marine life, etc.  However, once in a while the calm is broken up by seeing a shark.  Here is a picture of the type of bull shark that circled me the other day.  He was scary.

Holey doley, what a incredible nice hot of the front of that shark. Yes pretty  scary if you meet something like this. Top shot I think. All his teeth are showing. I totally agree with you, scuba diving has been my nerve pill for over 40 years now, but I have never come this close to a bull shark. The water fall was also fantastic. Well done.

What an awesome shot Suren!!  Thanks for sharing - and of course now I have to go get some additional filters.  : )

That's scary, probably will die right there

I just ordered a pretty reasonably priced set of filters from Freewell.  Any idea or thoughts if these are on the cheap side or if they will be a quality product?  What Pro's are you waiting on to come out?  I am always up for good suggestions!!!

We have lots of bull sharks off both coasts of Florida.  I don't worry about them as much as I do alligators.  When I dive in fresh water lakes or rivers I have to be especially careful.  

Suren Posted at 6-5 10:58

Yes, really scary to stare at him.  However, I'm more afraid of alligators so when I dive in fresh water lakes or rivers I'm always alert for them.

I used Freewell with my previous Mavic 3 and they worked great but I want to try the Polar Pro this time as I heard they are of better quality but they don't have on pre order the ND1000 so will wait for them, will use the cheap AliExpress for now.

Oh I get it now, when you said pro, you literally mean Polar Pro's!  Cool.  Well, I have not tried that brand yet, but when you get yours let me know.  I may have to give them a shot when available.

  Fortunately, for me, he passed on that burger.  I do love your sense of humor.
