  • In this video I test out some freewell ND filters on the DJI Avata 2, can they be used to creat some cool motion blur effects? Let's fine out.

    It's not absolutely necessary to use manual camera setting nor strictly follow the 180 shutter speed rule to get great results. Unlike fixed cameras, flying cameras require variable exposure levels when flying toward the sun one moment and then away from the sun the next moment. The camera auto exposure is very good at making those adjustments for you automatically. However, during daylight, the shutter speed will be in higher ranges not idea for motion blur. You just need an ND filter that reduces the shutter speed range to around 100-200 to give good results.
    Apply an ND filter (and set ISO limit at 400) to lower the shutter speed range and let camera auto mode make the necessary exposure adjustments to the dynamically changing lighting conditions. Tip: You can turn subtitles on to view the actual shutter speed used in every frame. This is a good way to benchmark each ND filter in different lighting conditions. I find 16 or 32 are good for daylight and 8 or no filter during golden hours.
    Test it out yourself to see what works for you. I prefer to keep things simple and focus more on flying and composition.

    I was thinking it looks very blurry, finally got my phone to switch up from 360p, no bloomin wonder. Very sharp once in high Res.

      Had to be a smudge on the filter👀 it disappeared when he wiped the lense. A polarized filter would do better for glare👍🏾

    Personally, I think the "Motion Blur" thing is a bit overrated. Everyone seems to think this is what the cool flyers all need to do... But , I kinda like to to look down at the details passing by sometimes. BTW, yes, I do have an Avata 2 and yes I do have Freewell ND filters.

    • @andykirby
      @andykirby  Месяц назад +1

      Like all techniques they have their place. I think you are right in that it's better to be able to see the details when actually flying, having the blur in the goggles might not be desirable.

      Thanks! The mini 3 pro is great, you can actually fly it with the goggles 2 and older motion controller in FPV mode but it won't sustain a crash 😁

  • @silverfox74

    Always best to take the white balance (WB) off auto and leave it ay 5,500K in afternoon sunshine. Otherwise you'll get shifts in the white balance during the flight as you move to and from the angle of the sun.

    Great illustration of motion blur. I found the mini 4 pro freewell nd filters also have lens glare. I’ve just picked up the DJI brand nd filter to take a look if flare is still an issue.
    Great video, great flying.
    Thanks for putting in the work. 👍🏻

    Is the flare at 6:40 repeating in your flights? Does it belong to Freewell brand, did you have chance to use DJI’s filters?
