How to pick the right ND Filter strength – DJI Mavic 2 Zoom/Pro Freewell Filters
Freewell Gear recently released their latest filter set for the DJI Mavic 2 Zoom and Pro. In this video, I unbox the two filter sets and give you my shortcuts on how I go about determining which filter strength works for the environment I’m in. After using them for a little while now, below is my list of Pros and Cons about the filters.
Freewell Mavic 2 Zoom Filter Set:
Freewell Mavic 2 Pro Filter Set:
FlytPath Merch Store is now open:
Thanks Drones Made Easy for the Zoom loaner:
PROS:
• More affordable than competitors
• Minimal to no color cast
• Mavic Pro ring was easy to rotate on the ND/PL Filters
• 8 Pack covers the full range of filters
• Gimbal and balancing start up had no issues
CONS:
• The Mavic 2 Pro ND/PL did not fit as well as they should when it comes down to taking it off and on.
• The hard case foam does not hold the filters in place. Sometimes the filters shift around in the hard case.
• Freewell packing and brand need a refresh. The boxes and design all look too old school.

Congrats to Rich Beard on winning the Mavic 2 Zoom filters!!!

Great vid as always! How do u recommend cleaning fingerprints/ dust off of them? I got a smudge from microfiber cloth so confused.. THNX!!
boston# just started flying during covid your channel is pretty awesome!
Not sure if you will read this but need a tip until my new filters arrive. Is it better to use no filter and compensate with a faster shutter speed, or is it better to use a higher filter and compensate with a slower shutter speed. My ND 16 was too high for today but no filter was too low.
Thanks
Thank you, Mavic Mini owner.
I am trying to figure out if I need to use these. I am not a photography professional but I am learning and one way I see a possible fix for this is by color grading the video at the end. would this be correct ?
Thanks for easily explaining out to pick out the correct filter! 🙂
Aw shucks! Just tuned in to your giveaway 😒
Thanks , learning so much from your videos , need this one. Thanks again
Thank you. I had no clue which one to use.

Aldryn, I just watched your video on the freewell ND/ND CPL filters and I have a question. It's actually not about the filters, but about the tablet mount I saw you using. I have tried several mounts and have never been completely happy with any of them. Can you please tell me where you found this mount? Compared with others I have used that one looks very simple and unobtrusive. Thanks Iappreciate it.
Good information. Helps a lot. Eagle River, Alaska
What nd filters should I get like a good set of all around ones for my zoom ?
Nice video! Has there ever been a need that you require to use the ND32 for the zoom shooting at 4K 30? I only got ND up to 16 now and am afraid that it may not be enough

Thanks for the information on the ND filters, I just ordered first DJI mavic 2 zoom, I can't wait to play with it , I have a Bebop great little drone but limited of what it will do. ones again thank you for sharing you knowledge, I will see you on web. Im in Texas 3 Miles outside of the Big Bend National Park, Beautiful scenery, I will share my videos soon.
#CaymanIslands ….. this video was very informative and made it so much easier to understand the filter game. Kudos!
Keep in mind!@*# Looking directly into light with no protection is never a good idea. It would burn your ccd chip. Good explanation, but some would now have some camera issues I suppose while they are checking there filters what's best.
And you don't want to kill your ccd on a drone. Not sure if it is replaceable
#Chicago, I just bought my Mavic Zoom. And I hope I still can get free ND Filters. ☺️
Thanks and God bless. #Chicago #Asian #Newbie #2019

Thank you so much for taking your time to educate us in how to properly set up and use one of this filters in our gears..!
Wonderful and straight to the point video!
Thanks again Mister..!
i just bought a Mavic pro 2 today, as well as a set of ND filter PL, i would like to ask if i would still benefit from the filter if i shoot in Auto?, then again if i choose to shoot in manual how to i know the shutter speed to set it to if i am recording at the highest setting ?
