Hi Brett can you give me a link of good ND filters or what ever I need for my Air 2s I like to use it for photography.im just starting to get into drones.and I'm studying for Mapping.Thanks
Got this video bookmarked, i had to run for a pencil and paper to jot down the info. Your video was well put together and you came across as a genuine guy that loves using drones. Also you seem to actually fly within the boundaries of the regulations. I've seen so many drone tutorials where they fly directly over the public or traffic. I didnt know night-flight was illegal in the US. In Ireland it's fair game. Great video Brett, looking forward to more.
Just received my first camera-on-a drone in the DJI Mavic 2 today. And along with it the nd filters. Thanks for showing me how to install them and how they looked. And... your beach photography and cinematography was a joy to behold!
Great information and well done video. This is exactly what I needed to understand regarding ND Filters and settings within the camera features. Keep up the good work!
Cody Cha had a very good description in his comment. One addition is that reflected light (like glare) varies in its “plane” based on the angle at which the sun is relative to the camera. Rotating a circular polarizing filter changes the plane of the filter - that’s why you can vary the effect. But at some angles, the polarizing filter has no effect except to make the picture darker.
Love the channel bro! Thanks to you i can make a purchase and feel good about what i'm buying and HOW TO USE IT!!! I needed you back in Phantom 3 days!
Is this Clearwater Florida by any chance? Btw maybe I'm Trippin but I did not see a big difference between using an ND filter vs no ND filter. What should I be looking out for?
nice work,i liked the shutter speed differance examples near end of the video , just got the mavic 2 pro. the tablet you are using at 5mins, it has cell phone signal?
Definitely I gotta go and talk to you directly to talk about scenarios, normally I love to shot sunsets here in Florida, but when I travel all depends the locations and time of the day. Probably on the weekend I will pass by...
Great video!! Quick question: why did you shoot at 24fps rather than 30fps or even 60fps (although I don’t think Mavic Pro 2 can do 60)? (I don’t have a Mavic Pro 2 so that’s why I ask) 😅 Thanks again!
Great video and really breaks it down so it’s easy to understand. I do have one question about your “night shoot” comment. All of my research shows that “Hobbyists” can shoot at night. Only Part107 needs a night waiver. Can you clarify? Thanks
Hi Brett, thanks for posting another great video! Just ordered my nd filters. Could you offer me any tips on flying around Miami? I’m visiting there in January, I’m from the UK so I’m a bit in the dark with flying in your territory. Keep up the good work 👍
Hi Brett, great video. Almost all the other footage of the Mavic 2 Pros online looks soft to my eyes. Yours is the first video where it looked nice and sharp. It doesn't look like you are doing anything different though. Can you think of any reason for this? I was leaning towards a Zoom because it looked crisp, but I want the bigger sensor and bit rate. Wondering how your footage looks so detailed...
@@brettgaramella yeah that was totally it. Your ND filter shots were much nicer looking (to my eyes), and I think it must have something to do with keeping that friendly shutter speed to frame rate. It looks much more natural, richer and detailed to me. Thanks for taking the time for doing that and your reply.
i have noticed this thing too ,others footage seems soft because they shot in dlog and dlog gives u flat picture ,less sharpened,less everything so they didnt increase the sharpness in post thats why it looked soft ,Brett shoots in normal color mode, normal color mode is sharper straight out of camera , so i think if u dont want to spend time in post processing ,normal color mode is the best ,Sharper ! far better than Zoom and phantom 4 pro :) enjoy
@@brettgaramella Ah okay, thanks for the fast reply. What are the colours like straight out of the Mavic 2 Pro? I dont really want to spend alot of time colour grading.
A polarizing filter minimizes unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass in addition to light reflecting off moisture and pollution in the atmosphere. A circular polarizer filter affects entire image. By rotating the filter you can choose the amount of filtration needed to achieve the creative effect - bluer skies, greener leaves, reduced or eliminated reflections, and greater clarity in your final image.
Often, not mentioned in few if any of the videos on polarization that I have seen on the internet, they do not mention that they can reduce atmospheric haze caused by moisture in the air (haze). I shot still photography professionally for 40 years and used them occasionally on my many cameras. They generally work best when you are 90 degrees from the sun when shooting landscapes outdoors.
I now I'm late to this video, but I have a dumb question. While I understand motion blur and doubling the frame rate, I don't fully understand why this is important from the sky? The images are so far and no one will see the difference right? Just wondering why people invest in ND filters when you're a hundred feet away from the subject. If anything, the sharp moving images are better from far. Motion blur is not beneficial if the subject is small. Just my 2 cents. I know I'm wrong, just not sure why. lol. Thanks for another great video bro.
FYI: A circular polarizer doesn't just saturate colors. It reduces reflections at a 45 degree angle from the source of light, usually the sun. It doesn't just "polarize part of the image", it's just that the effect is most visible where the reflections are cut-making the blue of the sky more visible rather than the water vapor that reflects the light. If you're going to explain something-get it right. (and get to the point)
Not true, hobbyists don't need authorization from the FAA. Only commercial drone pilots are required to get a waive or the authorization for night flights.
@@brettgaramella You should have CALLED the FAA to find out. I did. Many 107 pilots already know about this: You still can fly at night as long as you DON'T monetize anything from a drone, according to FAA agents on phone.
@@brettgaramella Well... You miss out. I have done many times as a hobbyist and still receive no letter from the FAA for flying at night. You're limiting yourself. 🤷♂️
@@brettgaramella I'm not saying it's not possible, but nothing in this video comes even close to a shallow depth scenario. The lens might be at its best at around 2.8 though, that's a better reason.

Awesome shots dog. Did you color grade any of the shots?
Would it be possible to put both images with ND, NDPL and no filter in the same screen for comparison?
Love the channel bro! Thanks to you i can make a purchase and feel good about what i'm buying and HOW TO USE IT!!! I needed you back in Phantom 3 days!
Thanks for all the info. It helps
Can you color grade with polarized ND filters?
thank you. I understand the function and warrant of these much more now.

Solid guide as always Brett. Bummer to see red tide on your side of the state now, though.
Amazing video! Just what I was looking for! Any ND CPL filter recommendations for Mavic Air?
Just the video I was looking for.. I'm researching for the "what for" and best usages... Now that I got my Mavic 2 Pro! 😃👌🏻
Brett Garamella Definitely gonna get those..
Thanks buddy.. "Siempre pa' lante, Nunca pa' atrás!" 🙌🏻

I'm going to Africa and I'm doing shots of the desert. what filter would be best??
Very thorough, thank you for taking the time.
Wherever this is, i wanna be there. Beautiful scenery!
Beautiful and simple. Thank U.
Great video!!

Great stuff. Is it possible to do a review on the Pgytech ND/PL filters?
Great video and really breaks it down so it’s easy to understand. I do have one question about your “night shoot” comment. All of my research shows that “Hobbyists” can shoot at night. Only Part107 needs a night waiver. Can you clarify? Thanks
Good job Bruv
please do a same review on the mini..pytech sells the filters..and test the limits of the wifi please..
You're my herooooo dude
Great video!
great video, I can defiantly see the difference. did you capture sharks at the beach lol wow
Which ND filters do you recommend for footage of snow and a sunny day up in the mountains?
thank you so very much you are amazing 🤩
Thanks 👍
and you have a new follower 😎💪💪💪 thank you
@@CarlosMartinez-rk2bt That means a lot to me, thank you.
Danke!
Hi Brett, thanks for posting another great video! Just ordered my nd filters. Could you offer me any tips on flying around Miami? I’m visiting there in January, I’m from the UK so I’m a bit in the dark with flying in your territory. Keep up the good work 👍

Hi.
once the filter is placed in the configuration it must be in D-log M or in color?
Whichever color mode you prefer. ND filters don't affect color that much.
Excellent video!
Thank you,

I'm new to the hobby - Why shoot at 24fps, my thought process is that the higher fps the better?

In those conditions you could easily use an ND32.
A shallow depth of field is pointless when focused at infinity. I would rather stop down a stop to F4 and gain a tad of sharpness
i miss a direct picture comparison like a split screen with ND16 on the right and no nd on the left. Same motive of course.
Anyone knows how to correct the warm balance on the mavic2 pro?
did u color grade this?
Auto mode looks so good to
Brett Garamella thanks
What do you think re the BEST filters for the DJI Pro 2?

You don't get shallow depth of field at those distances

You're more than welcomed to show me examples of shallow depth of field in consumer drone footage. After effects and such doesn't count
👌
Is it just me...but the image seems to look better without the filters ?
Water looks too green! 👎🏼
Thank you for sharing
Brilliant Video....😉😎👍🏼
