Is there a simple but accurate way to set the White Balance while actually taking videos? Can it be done while the aircraft is airborne? What does one need to really look at while doing this procedure? Do you need to have a filter on the lens for cloudy days, sunny days, if so, what seems to work best, CP, N4, or N8? I forgot to mention the Histogram and adjusting it on the fly as well.
Thanks for the tips.

White Balance iS not easy TO manage manually ... only experts know to do only viewing the day in VERY sunny days you must use at leasT ND 16 OR 32

Thanks for the video. To me, it is still missing something but an informative video just the same.  

The simple way to adjust white balance beyond leaving it on Auto is to set it on Sunny when it's bright out and Cloudy when it's cloudy.  You can adjust it at any time, just go into settings and change it.  You can also adjust temperature when you edit.

Like Nebu says, ND filters are good to have and use.  I have 8, 16 and 32 and  use them all depending on how bright it is.  It's hard to do but you want to try getting your shutter speed close to double your frame rate...

Bravo, this is quite true. Never use the auto mode for white balance, as it tends to change as the scene changes, introducing colour changes you don't want.

I always set my exposure manually too, and use the built-in histogram display to aid in getting the exposure right. To understand the histogram and how to use it: https://forum.dji.com/thread-35998-1-1.html
