Neutral Density (ND8) Full Gray Filter for DJI NEO Drone — Sunnylife SB9368

Sunnylife SB9368 is a Neutral Density (ND8) full gray filter designed for the DJI NEO drone. The ND8 filter reduces incoming light by three stops, allowing the camera to use slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright daylight. It mounts directly to the drone camera to help control exposure, reduce overexposure in high-contrast scenes, and enable smoother motion rendering for video and time-lapse captures.

Advantages

The ND8 filter provides consistent light reduction across the frame without introducing color cast, supporting natural color reproduction and reliable exposure control. By allowing longer exposures and wider apertures, the filter facilitates motion blur management and cinematic-looking footage in bright outdoor conditions. Its full gray design is suitable for uniform attenuation, making it easy to predict exposure changes and maintain shutter-speed-based control over motion.

Suitable for

• Aerial videography in sunny daylight to reduce shutter speed and create smoother motion
• Photography where three-stop light reduction is needed for controlled aperture or slower shutter
• Time-lapse sequences shot from the DJI NEO drone in bright conditions
• Scenes with high dynamic range where exposure control prevents highlights from clipping

Key specifications

• Filter type: Neutral Density (ND) full gray
• Light reduction: 3 stops (ND8)
• Primary function: Reduce incoming light for exposure control
• Compatibility: Designed for mounting on the DJI NEO drone camera
• Effect on image: Enables longer shutter speeds and/or wider apertures in bright light

How to use

Attach the ND8 filter to the DJI NEO camera following the drone manufacturer’s mounting instructions or the filter manufacturer’s guidance. After mounting, check exposure settings in the camera app and adjust shutter speed or aperture to achieve the desired motion blur or depth-of-field effect while monitoring histogram and highlight warnings. Remove the filter when flying in low-light conditions to avoid underexposure. Clean the filter surface with a soft microfiber cloth before and after use to keep optical performance optimal.

Usage recommendations

Use the ND8 filter when shooting video or time-lapse in bright daylight to achieve natural motion blur at cinematic shutter speeds. Combine with manual exposure control and monitor the camera feed to fine-tune settings. Store the filter in a protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and dust.
