Camera filter PGYTECH P-16A-040 VND for DJI, 22.7×17.9×5.2 mm, black/pink

PGYTECH P-16A-040 VND is a variable neutral density filter designed for use with compatible DJI cameras. Measuring 22.7 × 17.9 × 5.2 mm and weighing approximately 1.5 g, the compact filter offers 2–5 stops of light reduction (ND4–ND32) to help control exposure and motion blur in bright outdoor conditions. The filter is available in black or pink finishes and is built from SCHOTT optical glass with multi-layer coatings to preserve image clarity while resisting water, oil, and scratches.

Advantages

The VND mechanism allows smooth, continuous adjustment of light transmission, eliminating the need to swap filters as lighting changes and enabling precise shutter speed control for smooth video capture. The filter’s thin, lightweight construction is engineered not to affect drone balance or calibration. Double-sided, multi-layer coatings repel water and oil and provide scratch resistance, while the SCHOTT glass base promotes high-definition, color-accurate imaging.

Suitable for

• Aerial videography where controlled shutter speed is required for cinematic motion
• Bright daytime photography with moving subjects to reduce motion blur
• On-the-go shooting where quick, continuous exposure adjustments are needed
• Professional drone operators who need lightweight accessories that do not affect calibration

How to use

Attach the VND filter to the compatible DJI camera mount according to the camera or drone accessory instructions. Rotate the outer ring to adjust the neutral density level gradually from ND4 up to ND32 until the desired exposure and shutter speed are achieved. Monitor the camera’s exposure indicators or histogram while adjusting and check for any unwanted vignetting or color cast at extreme settings. Clean the filter surface with a microfiber cloth and approved lens cleaner to remove dust, water or oil before and after flights.

Usage recommendations

For smooth video results, set shutter speed to approximately double the frame rate (e.g., 1/50s for 25 fps) and use the VND to achieve this exposure in bright light. Store the filter in a protective case when not in use and avoid rough handling despite the scratch-resistant coating to prolong optical quality.
