Hello All,
I have a Mavic Pro, and want to take pix/record videos of a snowy landscape.
Would you please suggest me which camera settings are the best for it?

Should I use any of the camera filters? (ND8/ND16/ND32)

Thanx for your help.

Peter

Hi Peter, thank you for bringing this query to us. You may read our article about Winter Photography Tips for more information. However, kindly take note of the operating Operating Temperature Range in the Specs section on our website. Have a safe flight always.

With sun for sure you will need a filter (32 or 64)

Definitely a higher ND rating - at least 16 but prob 32

ND 32+ as a starting point and read your exposure, histogram and zebras are useful tools. Use the light direction don't fly into the sun, have fun, experiment and enjoy.

It is a nightmare in those conditions - you can have a perfectly balanced exposure then yaw the drone a little and it's ruined. I have flown in conditions where I've had to use a variance of 1/2000 shutter speed to get a perfect exposure value - no ND filter away from the sun and an ND64 would have been needed 90 degrees toward to the sun. I tend to put on a middle filter (ND32) and put it in auto in those conditions.

ND filters if shooting video but not needed if just taking pictures.  Most importantly use the histogram to set your exposure.
