Neutral Density (ND16) Full-Frame Gray Filter for DJI Mavic Air 2 by Sunnylife

The Sunnylife Neutral Density (ND16) Full-Frame Gray Filter for DJI Mavic Air 2 reduces incoming light by approximately 4 stops to help achieve correct exposure in bright conditions. It is designed to cover the entire camera lens area of the Mavic Air 2, enabling slower shutter speeds for smoother motion blur in video and controlled highlights in still photography. The filter is suitable for workflows that require consistent light reduction without color cast and is intended for mounting directly on the drone’s camera assembly.

Advantages

This ND16 filter provides a predictable and uniform 4-stop light reduction across the full frame, helping to maintain correct shutter speed and aperture settings when shooting in strong daylight. The full-frame design ensures the filter covers the entire image circle of the Mavic Air 2 camera to avoid vignetting. The optical surface is engineered to minimise color shift and preserve image clarity, supporting both video stabilization and high-resolution stills.

Suitable for

• Handheld-style cinematic video with slower shutter speeds to create natural motion blur
• Aerial landscape and cityscape photography in bright sunlight
• Reducing highlight clipping and maintaining exposure consistency during panning shots
• Enabling lower ISO settings for improved dynamic range and reduced noise

Key specifications

• Filter type: Neutral Density (ND16), full-frame coverage
• Light reduction: approximately 4 stops
• Compatibility: designed for DJI Mavic Air 2 camera housing
• Optical characteristics: neutral gray transmission with minimal color shift
• Mount: direct-fit full-frame filter for drone camera assembly

How to use

Attach the ND16 filter to the DJI Mavic Air 2 camera according to the drone and accessory instructions, ensuring the filter is seated evenly and free of dust or fingerprints. Use the filter when ambient light is strong and you want to lower shutter speed to achieve smoother motion in video or to prevent overexposure in stills. Verify exposure in the camera app and adjust shutter speed, aperture (if available) and ISO to obtain the desired image characteristics. After use, clean the filter surface with a soft microfiber cloth and store it in a protective case.

Usage recommendations

Use the ND16 filter for daytime flights when you need about four stops of light reduction. Combine with manual exposure settings for best control, and inspect the filter for debris before each flight to avoid artifacts on images. Avoid using the filter in low-light conditions where additional exposure reduction is not needed.
