The Freewell Mini 4 Pro Filters Bright Day 6-Pack combines neutral density and polarisation in one...The Freewell Mini 4 Pro Filters Bright Day 6-Pack combines neutral density and polarisation in one convenient kit for your DJI Mini 4 Pro. Including ND16/PL, ND32/PL, ND64/PL, ND128/PL, ND256/PL, and ND1000/PL filters, this set offers 4-8 and 10 stops of light reduction, making it ideal for cloudy to bright conditions. These filters reduce glare, enhance clarity, and are perfect for cinematic effects like motion blur with the ND1000/PL.
This 6-filter pack from Freewell is designed for DJI Mini 4 Pro users looking to elevate their aerial photography and videography. It offers a versatile range of Neutral Density (ND) and Polarizing (PL) filters to control light and reduce glare in various 'bright day' conditions, enabling creative effects like motion blur. A key consideration is the need for careful installation to ensure optimal performance and avoid vignetting.

FAQs
What is the difference between ND and PL filters?
ND (Neutral Density) filters reduce the amount of light entering the lens, allowing for slower shutter speeds or wider apertures. PL (Polarizing) filters reduce glare and reflections from non-metallic surfaces, enhancing color saturation and contrast.
Can I use these filters for night photography?
This specific 'Bright Day' pack is designed for well-lit conditions. The ND filters reduce light, making them unsuitable for very low-light or night shooting. You would need specialized filters for such scenarios.
How many stops of light do these filters offer?
The ND/PL filters in this pack offer 4 stops (ND16/PL), 5 stops (ND32/PL), 6 stops (ND64/PL), 7 stops (ND128/PL), 8 stops (ND256/PL), and 10 stops (ND1000/PL) of light reduction.
Will these filters affect the drone's flight time?
The filters add minimal weight and are designed to be aerodynamic. Any impact on flight time is generally negligible.
How do I clean the filters?
Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth specifically designed for lenses. Gently wipe the surface. For stubborn smudges, you can use a lens cleaning solution sparingly on the cloth, not directly on the filter.
Are these filters compatible with other DJI drone models?
This particular 6-pack is engineered for the DJI Mini 4 Pro. Compatibility with other models may vary, and specific filters would be required for different drones.
What is the purpose of the ND1000/PL filter?
The ND1000/PL filter provides a very strong 10-stop light reduction, allowing for extremely slow shutter speeds even in bright daylight. This is ideal for achieving significant motion blur in videos or long-exposure photography.
Troubleshooting
Vignetting (dark corners) in footage
Ensure the filter is correctly and fully seated on the lens. Check if the specific filter is too dense for the current focal length or flying conditions. Try a lighter ND filter or ensure the drone is not flying too close to subjects at certain angles.
Filter does not attach securely
Verify you are using the correct filter for the DJI Mini 4 Pro. Ensure there is no debris on the filter or the drone's lens mount. Contact customer support if the issue persists.
Reduced image quality or sharpness
Clean the filter surface with a microfiber lens cloth. Ensure the filter is properly aligned and seated. Avoid touching the optical surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Carefully remove the original lens cap or existing filter from your DJI Mini 4 Pro.
Align the new Freewell filter with the drone's camera lens.
Gently twist the filter clockwise until it clicks or feels securely seated. Do not force the filter.
Ensure the filter is flush with the lens to avoid vignetting, especially with wider focal lengths.
Compatibility:
This filter set is specifically designed for the DJI Mini 4 Pro drone.
Care:
Clean the filters using a soft, lint-free lens cloth only. Avoid abrasive materials or cleaning solutions.
Store filters in their protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and dust buildup.
Periodically check the drone's gimbal and lens for any debris before attaching filters.
