Neutral Density Filter PGYTECH VND 2–5 Stop for DJI Mavic 3 Classic

Neutral Density Filter PGYTECH VND 2–5 Stop for DJI Mavic 3 Classic is a variable ND filter designed to reduce incoming light by 2 to 5 stops for the Mavic 3 Classic camera system. The filter allows precise control of exposure and shutter speed to create cinematic motion blur, avoid overexposure in bright conditions, and better manage depth of field for video and photo capture. Constructed with lightweight CNC aluminum and multi-coated optical glass, the accessory preserves color fidelity while resisting scratches, water and oil.

Advantages

The variable ND 2–5 Stop design covers multiple densities in a single unit, eliminating the need to swap filters on location. Multi-layer coatings provide oleophobic and hydrophobic protection on both glass surfaces for easier cleaning and reduced reflections. The housing is machined from aluminum to minimize added weight and maintain the drone's flight balance. Optical elements use high-quality Japanese AGC glass that is ground and polished to keep a low refractive index and accurate color reproduction.

Suitable for

• Filming outdoor video in bright daylight to control shutter speeds and introduce cinematic motion blur
• Taking photos where reduced highlights and correct exposure are required
• Travel and location shoots where swapping multiple fixed ND filters is impractical
• Users of DJI Mavic 3 Classic seeking to manage depth of field and exposure without changing camera settings drastically

Key specifications

• Variable optical density: equivalent to 2–5 stops (covers multiple ND levels)
• Compatible optics: designed specifically for DJI Mavic 3 Classic camera
• Glass type: Japanese AGC optical glass, multi-ground and polished
• Coatings: multi-layer anti-reflective, oleophobic and hydrophobic coatings on both sides
• Housing material: CNC-machined aluminum, corrosion- and scratch-resistant finish
• External dimensions: circular mount with diameter approximately 39.2 mm and low profile thickness for minimal vignetting
• Weight: lightweight design to preserve drone balance

How to use

Attach the PGYTECH VND filter to the Mavic 3 Classic camera following the manufacturer’s mounting direction until it seats securely. Rotate the filter ring slowly to adjust the neutral density level between the equivalent of 2 and 5 stops until the desired exposure and motion blur are achieved. Verify framing and focus after adjustment and check for any vignetting at wide apertures. Remove the filter by reversing the mounting motion when no longer needed and store it in a protective case.

Usage recommendations

Use the filter when shooting in bright daylight to maintain shutter speeds suitable for cinematic video (for example, double the frame rate) and to reduce blown highlights in high-contrast scenes. Clean the coated glass with the supplied cloth or a microfiber wipe, avoiding abrasive materials. When changing ND level, rotate the filter gradually and confirm exposure on the camera; keep the accessory attached only as long as required to minimize handling and dust exposure.
