Neutral Density Filter ND16 (NDX16) Sunnylife for DJI Mavic Air 2S — Full Gray ND16

The Sunnylife Neutral Density Filter ND16 (NDX16) is designed for use with the DJI Mavic Air 2S camera. This full gray ND16 filter reduces incoming light by four stops, allowing better control of exposure when filming or photographing in bright outdoor conditions. By limiting light transmission, the filter enables slower shutter speeds for smoother motion in video capture and more natural motion blur in long-exposure stills, while helping to maintain highlight detail and overall dynamic range.

Advantages

The ND16 filter provides consistent light reduction across the visible spectrum to avoid unwanted color shifts, and its full gray construction is suitable for general daylight shooting. It supports achieving the 180-degree shutter rule for cinematic motion rendering at common frame rates, and it helps prevent overexposure without raising ISO. The filter is compact and made to fit the optical assembly of the Mavic Air 2S, preserving image sharpness and autofocus performance when used as intended.

Suitable for

• Daylight aerial video at 24–60 fps to obtain natural motion blur
• Long-exposure landscape photography from the drone in bright conditions
• Reducing highlights and improving dynamic range in high-contrast scenes
• Maintaining lower ISO values to minimize noise during bright-sky shooting

Key specifications

• Light reduction: 4 stops (ND16)
• Type: full gray neutral density filter
• Compatible camera: DJI Mavic Air 2S camera optical assembly
• Intended use: outdoor daylight photography and videography
• Effect on exposure: enables slower shutter speeds while preserving color neutrality

How to use

Align the filter with the Mavic Air 2S camera housing and attach it according to the drone’s accessory mounting method, ensuring a secure, dust-free connection. Verify that the filter is seated flush and that the camera gimbal can move freely without contact. In bright conditions set camera exposure manually or use shutter speed adjustment to match the desired frame rate (for example, double the frame rate for the 180-degree rule) and reduce ISO as needed. Inspect images and video for correct exposure and color balance after mounting, and remove the filter when shooting in low light to avoid underexposure.

Usage recommendations

Handle the filter by its edges and store it in a protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and fingerprints. Clean with a microfiber cloth and appropriate optical cleaner. Use the ND16 in bright daylight or high-contrast scenes; combine with gimbal stabilization and correct camera settings for best results.
