Neutral Density Split Filter for DJI Mavic 4 Pro, Freewell Split ND64/ND32

The Freewell Neutral Density Split Filter ND64/ND32 for DJI Mavic 4 Pro is a graduated neutral density filter designed to reduce light intensity selectively across the frame. With distinct ND64 and ND32 sections, the split filter helps balance exposure between bright skies and darker foregrounds, enabling improved control of highlights and a more even dynamic range in aerial stills and video. It attaches to the Mavic 4 Pro’s camera mounting system and is intended for landscape, horizon and high-contrast scenes where differential light attenuation is required.

Advantages

The split design provides graduated light reduction without affecting the entire frame, allowing preservation of foreground detail while tempering bright skies and highlights. Two density zones—ND64 and ND32—offer options for stronger or milder attenuation depending on scene brightness and shooting needs. Using the filter helps extend shutter times for smoother motion in video and reduces the need for aggressive in-camera exposure adjustments, contributing to cleaner highlights and more consistent footage across varying light conditions.

Suitable for

• Aerial landscape photography with strong sky-to-ground contrast
• Horizon shots where sky exposure must be reduced without underexposing foreground
• Video capture requiring smoother motion and highlight control
• High-contrast scenes such as coastal, desert or mountain environments

Key specifications

• Filter type: graduated split neutral density
• Density sections: ND64 and ND32
• Compatibility: designed for DJI Mavic 4 Pro camera mounting system
• Optical material: multi-coated glass or optical-grade substrate for reduced reflections (as specified by manufacturer)
• Finish: anti-reflective coatings to minimize flare
• Mounting: dedicated clip or frame compatible with the aircraft’s camera attachment

How to use

Attach the split ND filter to the DJI Mavic 4 Pro according to the manufacturer’s mounting instructions, ensuring the graduated transition aligns with the horizon or the area of contrast in your composition. Select the ND64 section when stronger light reduction is required in the sky or other bright regions; use ND32 for milder attenuation. Adjust camera exposure settings and shutter speed as needed to achieve the desired motion blur and highlight control. Check the framing and horizon alignment via the drone’s live view and make small positional adjustments to position the gradient precisely between bright and dark areas.

Usage recommendations

For best results, plan flights during stable weather and avoid high-wind conditions that can make precise alignment difficult. Combine the split ND filter with manual exposure or pro video modes to maximize control over shutter speed and ISO. Clean the filter surface with a soft microfiber cloth before each flight to prevent spots and flare; store in a protective case when not in use.
