Mavic Mini ND Filters for Video and Long Exposure Photos
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- The DJI Mavic Mini is a little handicapped because of the lack of exposure control in the app. We are not able to adjust the ISO and Shutter Speed of the Mavic Mini camera when shooting video. We do have full control in photo mode, which allows us to shoot long exposure photos using ND Filters. In this video, I show you how I dial in shooting long exposure photos as well as show you a few samples of using ND Filters for video with the DJI Mavic Mini.
Some issues I did run into when using the filters is hard stopping. You don’t want to hard stop and go with the drone or the gimbal will shift a bit. You have to make really slow movements with the sticks or else it will shift. Also when tilting the gimbal using the PL, I did see some red vignette coming from the ring. It would only come up when using it at certain angles and when pointed towards the sun.

And all of a sudden these filters have become much more valuable to the Mavic Mini!!
Yes sir!
For anyone wondering about the Mavic Mini, a few months after this video was created, DJI put out a software update and now you DO have full manual control over video.
Shutter speed? I don't think so.
@@runpatboyrun Shutter speed, ISO, white balance, additional frame rates. 👍
@@chriskaprys I am curious as to where in the menus you have access to this as I do not and I have the most recent firmware installed.
@@runpatboyrun I'll get back to you on that tonight.
*edit: In the DJI Fly app, In the bottom-right corner there is an icon of a camera. If the icon says "AUTO" you'll see next to it that you have access to the settings for EV (Exposure Value) and AE (Auto Exposure). If you press the icon the word "AUTO" will change to "M" for manual mode, and the EV and AE settings will change to ISO and Shutter. 👍
@@runpatboyrun you also need to update the app and then click on the auto button bottom right
What a complete & professional review, the side by side shots showing the difference, thanks
Thank You Aldryn for this video. This helped me understand filters and exposure control more than anything I have read or watched in the past..... Love your channel and I always get great advice from you man...!!
Great video as always! You do an excellent job of explaining. I also like that you put the timestamps if I want to skip to a certain portion of the video.
Thank you for making this video, I was looking all over for a video like this for the mavic mini. I'm blown away at how well made your videos are!
Thanks! I was trying to figure out if I needed ND filters or not for the Mini. Your video and input on them is greatly appreciated!!
Seriously, the best Drone info channel I have found. Great useful info - thanks. Been using my Mavic Pro, Yuneec Typhoon and now a Mini for work for around three years ( just for simple construction progress photos) but never really got into the finer points of taking better photos - leaving that to post production of RAW images. You have inspired me to take more interest in getting better shots “on the job”, especially with the limitations of the Mini - which for access and safety, in some situations is clearly my Drone of choice.
Thanks Aldryn, Happy New Year and looking forward to more of your videos.
I appreciate that
Excellent explanation! Super helpful thanks for sharing.
These are a must now that you have manual control for video
These videos are great, very informative and to the point. Keep them coming, good work
Kudos‼️ Just put my ND16 for morning flight. Love your videos because I learn so much. Thanks.
Awesome
Great video my drone brother. Thanks sooo much for sharing this great video with us brother. You always do an awesome job Sir with your reviews. You got a Big Fan here and a Big Supporter. I appreciate you my drone brother. Keep up the good work and please keep those good videos coming. Have a great day Captain 👨✈️. I do hope and pray you and your family had a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years. Thanks for all you do and please keep flying.
Great content ! Light background music ! On point ! Subscribed
Watching this for my mavic air 2 but still same basic principles. Thanks for the good info man!
I FIND IT AMAZING NOONE ON THE ENTIRE INTERNET EXPLAINS HOW TO ACTUALLY CONNECT THE FILTERS
04:00
if you had a dark enough filter, do you think it would be stable enough to do a 4 second long exposure?
great information thank you keep your videos going sir
How do we know that in video mode it decreases shutter speed and not increasing iso? I feel like nd filter have no use in video mode on mavic mini
We don’t know. But I do know that in bright days the mini can lean on the overexposed side. So exposure comp and filters will help.
You would notice it I guess.. you can just film yourself shaking your hand in front of the camera on a sunny day..if its more blurry with the filter it's lowering the shutter speed
@@FlytPath DJI released a new update for the MAVIC MINI for manual control of the camera. You can control ISO, Shutter Speed, etc. Hope you can do a video about that and how it helps for ND filters now.
What are your thoughts on polarizing filters considering you have to turn them to get them set right. Seem kind of pointless on a drone since you cant adjust once its up in the air
good vids bro
Super nice video! Love how you explain things.
The quality in the video seems a little bit low. I wonder if you encoded it at a lower bitrate than usual? Anyway, thanks for the video, as always! Glad you're back and refreshed!
When you flew down the coast for the video comparison with the ND8 and ND16, those were the regular ones or the polarized?
Can I shoot long exposure ND32 for mavic mini? Please I need your answer.
Very informative about ND filters on pictures, love you videos again from Malaysia. You gave lot information about Mavic Mini, keep coming good videos about MM bro.. thanks 🙏
Happy to hear that!
Thanks for this video! Just what I was looking for. Happy 2020!
John Wick 4 Confirmed @6:12 hehe
Great video as always Mr Estacio!
Thank you for your amazing content!!
Once again, great Video, and most important the question about the weight. That was the only concern I had til now with those filters. All the best for 2020 and keep up the great work.
Very informational Ace. Thanks for the video!
happy new year!!!
Another great video. Thanks and fly safe.
Very nice indeed thanks for sharing cheers👍 have a great new year
first off I'm new to your channel and I actually like it and subscribed you make great videos!!
Just amazing how people freak out about how good the mavic 2 pro is..
But when you look at the Mavic mini taking the same pictures I REALLY CAN'T SEE ANY DIFFERENCE..
this is what these professional photographers have to realize when it comes to social media unless you're pointing out the differences in doing side-by-side which nobody ever does.
NOBODY NOTICES THAT EXPENSIVE CAMERA.
Especially if you know what you're doing pre and post production..
Almost like the professional photographers are stuck up in snobby. Saying I need an expensive camera with mechanical everything and a 1-inch sensor blah blah blah
But you're really don't.
I've seen people do excellent photography and video work with original mavic pro that even looked as good if not better than the phantom 4 pro because they know what they're doing..
I literally needed this video right now, it's like you were reading my mind :D oh, and happy new year! :)
That’s RUclips/google reading your mind
Thanks for that mate, really cleared things up for a new drone user :)
Great videos. Have you tried the PGYTECH mavic mini filters or dslr filters? Looking to buy one set for my mavic mini and also for My sigma 18-35mm.
This video make me very happy
Great video and thanks for highlighting this product. I recently tried to "work around" the limitations we have for video with the mini and hauled my ass to the beach for a sunrise shoot in an attempt to get the shutter speed desired. (results video on my channel). Unfortunately the very low light video was ruined by noise as the mini bumped the iso up and once the sun was up the amount of time before the video looked choppy was very short. ND's may give us a touch more control looking forward to trying.
👍 Great images & helpful tips! Thx! 😎
Great video thank you. Can I ask you please do these affect the gimbal? I’ve seen some videos showing gimbal problems in the mini with filters.
Hard stop and go shifts the gimbal a little. I mention this in my description. I found that if you hard stop, the gimbal will shift a little, making you readjust the gimbal. Slow movements are what’s needed with a filter.
FlytPath thank you for clarifying and taking the time to respond. They look like a good addition and I will be purchasing a set soon. Hopefully they ship to the U.K!
How much better is it now that we have manual mode in video now? Would these filters still be necessary? Or can you get similar results without the filter?
Hi Mate! Did I see the pol filter's frame in the two lower corners(07:15)? Was the filter fitted correctly, or what else caused that? Seems like a great set.
I have the Mavi 2 Pro but would love to have the Mini as well for those moments when it's just more discreet and convenient to fly the smaller drone.
Ya it feels tiny compared to the mavic 2. But man the mavic 2 quality is so good
Awesome video once again, I'm thinking of buying an nd1000 and nd2000, would I benefit from buying these? Could they be used for video as well as for photos? Still learning here lol, thx for yr time.
Too dark for video. Made for photo
@@FlytPath thx 😁👍
Greetings from Cape Town, your channel is fantastic and so informative, thanks. If you have the time , can you please do a program or at least advise us newbies on what simulator is comparable for the Mimi controller, and what simulator program you recommend, thanks
Wow impressive 🎉
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video! I agree the sea gulls are the worst. They seem to be the worst in Encinitas.
How did you change your shutter speed in photo? I went to manual mode at night on my mini the other night and the shutter speed was grayed out or locked and wouldn’t let me change it. Only let me change iso. Any suggestion on how to fix this issue?
Thank you, that was a really good video on filters for my Mavic Mini
Interesting video on this. Basically it's a bit of experience as well as trial and error as to which ND filter you might need is what my take away is. I also didn't see a huge difference in the video comparisons... Is that just my old eyes though.. good video as usual thank you
Really helpful! I might buy this same one. Thank you.
I've seen several negative reviews about the Freewell filters not locking on well enough and coming off during a flight. user err, or design flaw?
I just bought the polarizes for the mini, but the gimbal has a hard time supporting the weight, and the gimbal won’t stay level while panning. Also, in sport mode the gimbal fails completely and the camera points down. Have you noticed this problem?
Hi Aldryn, have you done an update video for the Mini 2 with ND1000 or ND2000 filters?
Thank you for this, very informative. Question: Can you tell me what video editing software you recommend? I’m trying to figure out which is best and fairly user friendly for drone and GoPro footage. Thanks (Mac user)
is there anything darker? I typically use an nd 3.0 for ground timelapse and want similar long exposure
How do you get the waves to look like that (as they are moving) in the photos?
Thanks. Should I buy a large set of ND filters or in practice only a few popular ones are used?
Just bought mine and the firmware update just came. There's now a manual control for shutter,iso and white balance.
I can dig it!
Thank you for all the Mavic Mini videos. I feel like it might be the right starter drone. Never flown before, but I'm very into photography. One of my hesitations is that it doesn't shoot RAW files. I'm afraid my photo editing options with be restricted. Are there other starter drones that you'd recommend over the MM that do shoot raw files?
Hello Aldryn, thank you for your precious advice. Unfortunately in France Freewell filters are not yet available for the Mavic Mini :( and it seems from the feedbacks that there are camera stability problems with ND-PL PGYTECH filters ... Happy New year to you and your loved ones. Regards, Laurent 🇨🇵
Is there a lot of “halo” around the edges when using the filters. The first part had a redness in the corners. Does this happen all the time ?
i think that specific filter has a gap between the filter and the lens allowing light to bleed in, either it's not seated correctly or its a manufacturing defect
Great video as always! Is it hard to put the filters on and off?
Happy New Year !!
been to lajolla recently(11/19/19). It was night time and raining pretty hard. so didn't hang around very long. only went there for diner at the crab catcher. I think it's in the background of that peninsula??
Do you cover your bottom sensor on the mini while flying over water?
Hey there @flythpath Does the mavic mini suffer the same issue as the Mavic 1 pro with the gimball that gets damaged by touching it?
Is there a reason why you chose f/3.5 rather than a smaller aperture like f/8 or f/11?
Hey one question,so those nd filters are not available,what other brand can i used on the mini?
Hi, maybe you can help me figure out why my red front LED'S won't stay on, they'll come on when you first turn it on, but after powering up they turn off, and I even went into the settings where it says enable front LED'S when taking pictures, which I did and they still won't stay on. I know that the Mavic Pro front LED'S stay on after powering on, but is the Mavic Pro Platinum different? That's what I have is the Platinum. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Do you think it would be possible to use the light functionality of the photo/camera on the Mavic mini to work out what the best filter would be for the video mode? Like could you try different ND filters in the camera/photo mode until you get to the 180 rule, 1/50, 1/60, or 1/48th of a second and then set it to video.
How do you see the shutter speed when capturing video... So to choose the right ND
Amazing looking pic's!
Which filter would you recommend to use for the mavic mini regular nd or polarized filter
thaddens john have the same question.
when in video mode: does the app at least give you feedback on the shutter speed? Cause then it's just an iterative process to change the ND filter until you hit the 1/50 sec (for 25p). I mean, you can even just go by what the photo app tells you, couldn't you?
Or will the Mini just not prioritize shutter speed consistently and decide to change the ISO one time, Shutter Speed the next and just do whatever it wants to?
I’ve noticed you have that infamous red vignetting on the bottom corners. Many folks are complaining about it, any solution / comments?
Nice idea
So the sunnier the darker the filter?..
Yes. Check out my filters playlist for detailed videos
I just started trying out some HD filters ok my Mavic Mini. Unfortunately the gimbal vibrates very much with the filter. I tried everything including recalibration and recentering but nothing worked. Without the filter it was always fine again. Any tips?
I just realized. I don’t think I have the shutter and ISO option on my DJI fly app. Is there a setting to activate it?
only in the photo mode. Not the video mode...
Does polarization come with all of them... knowing that they would all will be used in the sun independently?
I was just searching my mind and this came up! Great work on your pic and no drone down!!!
"You Gotta Love That".
PL come one the 16 32 and 64. Not sure why they didn’t just release an ND and PL separate package.
Thanks. What is the best ND filter use for shooting sunset.
What’s setting should use to make video city at night on marvic mini?
Thnks useful info
when you use the Dark ND filter, are u b able to see the screen while flying?
Yes. Change photos settings to have a longer exposure
I believe the feed to your phone makes adjustments on the fly. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
Any chance of an updated video now the Mini has manual video control Aldryn?
Can variable nd filters be used for videos?
Any other place to buy them? Not available on amazon (usa) :/
Also, why do I only have 25 FPS and not 24? I don’t live in Europe. Firmware updated. Still no 24fps like you mention
Wait, can you move the cam on the mini? How does he look directly down?
Phantom 3 standard od mavic mini ? :)
Your links are broken for the filter kits
Please talk about dji fli andriod 10 issue we are suffering my drone app wont work after the new andriod update. Thanks
Do I need to set up Remote ID with the Mavic Mini now?
Does it vignetting at 7:15 or this is your hand at the bottom left&right corners?
These filters do have an issue at some angles. I mentioned it in the video description.
good evening i would like to ask about mavic mini. I want to buy an nd filter but I have heard that they cause a problem with the drone's camera. is this true? I would also like you to suggest me the best brand in set of filters. In my country I can easily find the company pgytech. well done for the good work !!
??
You can adjust your exposure manually on the mini. Lock it and then adjust it up or down. Kind of a cheater way to do it.
It's good to take time off and recharge your personal batteries.
