Anyone has any experience with the below filters

Hello. Thank you for the inquiry. It is not recommended to use 3rd party devices on your drone for compatibility and reliability purposes. For reference I will be posting a link where you can find the DJI Mavic 2 Zoom ND Filters Set https://store.dji.com/product/ma ... -v2&position=0. Thank you for your support.

I know but the issue is Dji does not ship to South Africa

Thank you for that information given. I will be providing you a link where you can check our official retail stores in South Africa for the DJI Mavic 2 Zoom filters https://www.dji.com/where-to-buy ... te&from=footer.

I can't help you on the filters.
But must ask : do you really need them?
I have a set of ND filters but very seldom use them.
Because I also like to take pictures and that require a fast shutterspeed.
So I keep my speed very low ('cinematic') and hope nothing in the frame moves fast

I do not really need them as I am not photographic but was seeing that on bright days my videos are over exposed even with exposure set to -1

Mavic Pro 2?
You can also change the aperture, so no need for ND filters for that.
And I guess shutterspeed will do also (MP1)

You still do because there is a sweet spot for the aperture. Below and above that sweetspot, images get very soft. (I think the sweetspot range is between 4.0 and 5.8)

And on bright days, you need ND filters either way if you want to get the 180° rule working.

I know. But when you also make pictures (still) you don't want to have any ND filters on them.
Fast shutterspeed is essential.

So I am in dubio about them.

That's true. (unless you want long exposure shots)

Got the zoom

Yeah.
That might be great indeed.
But I have to say I need a lot of tries before I get a 'keeper'

Got the zoom

In that case, I think shutterspeed change should be enough for most situations.

At least, I never needed ND filters for correct exposure and I have shot at full sunlight a lot.

What speed would you recommend Monty?

For still photos you want it so be as fast as possible. Depends on your conditions, there is no "recommended" shutter speed.
