Freewell ND32/PL Hybrid Filter for DJI Mini 4 Pro

The Freewell ND32/PL hybrid filter is a precision-engineered accessory designed specifically for the DJI Mini 4 Pro drone camera. By integrating both neutral density and circular polarizing capabilities into a single piece of high-quality optical glass, this filter allows drone pilots to manage exposure and image quality simultaneously. It effectively reduces light intake by 5 stops, which is ideal for bright, sunny conditions, while the polarizing element works to eliminate unwanted glare and reflections from non-metallic surfaces like water or glass, resulting in deeper color saturation and improved contrast in your aerial footage.

Advantages

This hybrid filter offers a significant advantage by combining two essential photographic tools into one lightweight frame, ensuring that your DJI Mini 4 Pro remains agile without unnecessary weight. The construction utilizes premium optical glass and a durable aluminum alloy frame, providing excellent resistance against scratches, dust, and water splashes. By reducing the shutter speed by 5 stops, it enables smoother motion blur in video recordings, which is crucial for achieving a cinematic look during daylight flights. The filter is designed to maintain high optical clarity, ensuring that your drone's sensor captures sharp, professional-grade images without compromising detail.

Suitable for

• Capturing cinematic aerial video in bright daylight
• Reducing glare from water surfaces, windows, and foliage
• Achieving natural motion blur for professional video production
• Enhancing color saturation and contrast in landscape photography

When it may not be suitable

This filter is not recommended for use in low-light environments, such as during dawn, dusk, or night flights, as the 5-stop light reduction will result in underexposed footage. It is also not intended for use in extreme weather conditions where heavy rain or high-speed debris could potentially impact the gimbal stability of the drone.

Key specifications

• Compatibility: DJI Mini 4 Pro
• Filter Type: Hybrid ND32/PL (Neutral Density + Polarizer)
• Light Reduction: 5 stops
• Material: Optical glass and aluminum alloy
• Features: Scratch-resistant, dust-resistant, water-resistant

How to use

To install the filter, ensure the drone is powered off. Gently remove the existing lens cover from the DJI Mini 4 Pro camera. Align the Freewell ND32/PL filter with the camera lens housing and press it firmly into place until it clicks or sits securely. Once attached, you can rotate the outer ring of the filter to adjust the polarization effect while viewing the live feed on your controller to achieve the desired reduction in glare. After your flight, remove the filter and store it in the provided protective case to prevent damage.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your drone model is the DJI Mini 4 Pro
• Ensure the lighting conditions are bright enough to warrant a 5-stop light reduction
• Check that the filter is clean before each flight to maintain image quality

Usage recommendations

Always use the included cleaning cloth to wipe the optical glass before and after use to ensure your footage remains free of smudges or dust particles. Store the filter in its protective case when not in use to maintain its longevity and optical performance.
