I like ND filters because it gives you another level of control without having to fudge around sett ...
The only function of ND filter is to block the light. In 2 occasions you need ND filter : 1. Long exposure at day time. In most common cases, you need long exposure when you shoot waterfalls, or waves, or remove moving people in crowded areas. Obviously, drone is not very good holding the camera totally still.
2. You need bokeh effect, which means blurry background. You need the largest aperture to do it, like f2.8 or larger. In sunny day, there will be too much light coming to the sensor. So you need ND filter to block the excessive light. But with drone film or photography, you need long dof, so ND filter not necessary.
So basically, there is no use of ND filter for drone at all.
