DJI Mini 5 Pro ND Filter Set (ND8 / ND32 / ND128)

On a bright day, a drone camera has to use very fast shutter speeds, which can make video look choppy. Neutral density filters cut the light reaching the sensor, letting you use slower shutter speeds for smoother motion blur. This set gives the Mini 5 Pro three strengths for different conditions.

This ND filter set is listed for the DJI Mini 5 Pro, with optical glass filters and a lightweight frame. It's sold new; the listing doesn't name a maker.

Which filter for which conditions?

• ND8 (3 stops): cloudy days or softer sunlight, per the listing.

• ND32 (5 stops): bright daytime shooting.

• ND128 (7 stops): strong sunlight, beaches, snow and very bright scenes.

When ND filters help

Use them when video looks stuttery in bright light, when the camera is forced to a very fast shutter, or when you want motion blur on moving water and traffic. For photos, they're less often needed.

Fit or change filters with the drone powered off, so the gimbal isn't strained, and keep the glass clean. After fitting, check the gimbal moves freely before flying.
