You are using your filters wrong. ND filters are designed to control the amount of light entering the camera and allow for a standard shutter speed closer to 1/60th if you are shooting 30fps. You can't do this on auto. You need to set iso to manual and compensate by feel on the x8.
Yes flight time, range and video quality. The do not do so well in the autonomous flight modes. But most people dont use them. I wish they had panorama pictures I do miss that!
Thre is no overexpose camera with ND filter, so we have much more video information. Without filter we lost a lot of info in white color. Nice coparisson!!
One thing I cannot get. Why on earth white objects are so overexposed? On my FiMi X8 SE I experience the same and I haven't found a way to resolve this. Any idea?
I know right. I have tried using ND filters and changing to Vivid to compensate as much as possible. Notice that if I lower the Gamma in POST the vids come better.
This answered my primary question (do I need ND Filters) -obviously yes, at least in these conditions. Do you use CPL, and how does one set up CPL on a drone... trial by error? Also, you did not appear to suffer horizon alignment issue; as far as I could detect. Was it an issue with earlier FW versions? Thanks for a great A/B comparison!
The horizon issues shows up on after you upgrade the firmware because it change your settings back to default. The fix is to go back in and change your gimbal gain and manually adjust your horizon on the bench.
@@Duranafy Thanks Al - I have learned a lot from your experience and I'm really grateful. Jealous of that FPV you got but it's beyond my budget. If you ever get tired of it... (like that's gonna happen)
Have you experienced any filters falling off, in flight or while landing? They don't exactly have the worlds greatest mounting system... or ANY system for that matter.
@@christophersurdo718 It takes a while to receive these packages. Therefore, I purchase with the most Nd filters and special effect filters. I like and use the star filter a lot at night!

Welldone Duranafy. Good comparisson. I will also take the ND filter, I think it is more naturally.

Yes upon landing and at take off
@@Duranafy Thanks Al. I'll watch out for it.
This drone is X8 SE or X8 SE 2020? If it's X8 SE 2020, where have you buy a filter?

Thank you @Afiqah03032013 Adhis! Will try!
@@Duranafy Thanks Alot Sir🙏🙏🙏, and i will waiting your tutorial video with fimi X8 se for survey or mapping
@@rullymuchlifanbakti3645 Thank you sir! I will be posting a series of videos comparing X8 to MA2 and Skydio comparison to Fimi X8
I keep losing filters because they fall off. This must be a common complaint.
I have been lucky and have only lost one. Maybe adding the silicon sticky stuff used on the letters that contain the credit cards.,
X8 dont have manual balance...so Filters at this moment in X8 are usefull
Yes, true
Nice...nice😁👌😉
Thank you! Cheers!
👍
The dynamic range is too low... The mavic 2 pro or the autel evo II pro is much more better... And much more expensive!!!!
more better
