I would prefer to get over 8" exposure. I mean, up to 30".

Saw this vid a few days ago too, good info.

As for exposure length, no matter how stable this drone is I doubt much more than about 1 second is possible without camera shake if to achieve decent per pixel sharpness. Quite frankly, I consider this too short to get proper smooth water effects. When doing stuff like this on the ground we usually want 4-5 seconds or more.

In another thread someone showed us some amazing birds eye "long" exposures of cars in speed. That is a very interesting and cool technique and achievable with shutter speeds of less than a second.

Question: What's the strongest ND Filter you can put on the camera and still see something on your phone?

Drone stability is useless if you are far from your subject, here are some pictures I took with 8 seconds exposure on the Mavic Air 2:

The Mavic Air 2 stability is really good. I'd just mean few wind shakes won't kill your picture if you stand far from the subject
