Neutral Density (ND8) Full Gray Filter for Drone by Sunnylife — NDx8 with Protective Case (model SB9775)

The Sunnylife Neutral Density (ND8) Full Gray Filter for Drone (NDx8) is a screw-in style optical filter that reduces incoming light by three stops. It is designed to help drone operators control exposure and motion blur when filming in bright conditions, enabling smoother video capture and more natural shutter speeds. The filter comes with a protective carrying case for secure storage and transport.

Advantages

The ND8 filter provides consistent light reduction across the visible spectrum without altering color balance, allowing for reliable exposure control. By reducing light by three stops, it helps maintain appropriate shutter speeds for video, reduces overexposure in sunny environments, and makes motion blur more natural in moving shots. The included protective case minimizes the risk of scratches and dust during transport and storage.

Suitable for

• Aerial videography in bright daylight
• Capturing smooth motion and reducing rolling shutter artifacts
• Longer shutter effects for creative aerial photography
• On-location shoots where compact protective storage is needed

Key specifications

• Filter type: full neutral density (gray) filter
• Compatibility: designed for drone cameras accepting screw-in or mount filters
• Finish: neutral color rendering to preserve white balance
• Accessory: protective carrying case included

How to use

Attach the ND8 filter to your drone camera according to the camera or gimbal manufacturer's instructions for screw-in or mount filters, ensuring a secure, aligned fit. Verify that the filter does not obstruct the gimbal or interfere with motor movement before flight. Calibrate exposure settings in your camera app or controller, using the reduced light level to select a shutter speed that produces the desired motion blur for video or longer exposure effects for stills. After use, store the filter in its protective case to prevent dust and scratches.

Usage recommendations

Use the ND8 filter primarily in bright daylight or high-contrast scenes where three stops of light reduction are needed to maintain appropriate shutter speeds for video. Inspect and clean the filter with a soft microfiber cloth before use and avoid exposing it to impacts; keep it stored in the supplied protective case when not mounted on the drone.
