Thank you. Technology has moved on so fast. I was stuck in manual for years. I only use it now for stills.

Thanks. If my videos inspire people to try something different then I have succeeded.

It all depends on the angle of the sun and the state of the water really. A low value nd filter may work best but sometimes a UV can work well, especially early morning or late afternoon. Getting the drone right overhead looking straight down would be the best method unless the sun was directly overhead. I'm hopefully doing a video about water glare this week. Enjoy your filters.

I'm pleased that it has helped you.

Is that with or without filters?

@@ColRose With, I’ll try and find the best filter and just let the camera do its magic.. I run my drone at 4k 30fps, if the filter maintains between 50-80fps on auto everything looks good

​@Jhorne84 yeah I used to shoot without filters. And with a high shutter. I recommend always keeping the shutter at what it's supposed to be. Makes your footage look alot better. I learned the hard way. I will never shoot without filters again

@@regbanks7888 Another trick I’ve found useful is choosing the filter that will keep me around the 180 rule when I’m flying low under 80ft or so. When I’m at higher altitudes of 200ft or more, motion blur becomes useless so the higher shutter speeds from more light matters not.

@@lmhkt That would help if you don't have split filters. You could deniose in your editing program so the footage looked cleaner.

In the video I only had the DJI ND filters, so I had to keep landing and changing over. The whole experiment led me to the conclusion that the Freewell dual filters, or the Polar pro dual filters are by far the best option for constant footage. Mine are on the way to me.

@@ColRose Thanks for your response. That's what I initially thought and most people "suggest" that but I had not seen an actual test before. Somehow, I thought after watching your video that by leaving it on Auto, there was not a need for the split ones. Thanks for clarifying.

@@marshallbreite4647 I will have to clarify my point more in the next video. I'm still experimenting and learning myself. The danger of using the same ND on both lenses, even in auto, is that the adjustments that the camera make may become obvious in post production leading to a grainier footage with the 70mm. I was far happier with the results with different values on each lens. My Freewell filters will be here in 2 days, so hopefully another video next week. Thanks for your interest.

@@ColRose Thanks again!

No problem. I set everything up in manual, for example 4K 25fps which means a shutter speed of 1/50. Then hold the filters in front of the lens and see which looks best. Once I've done that I put it in auto.

@@ColRose Good idea. Thanks again.

good question

In my opinion it is essential to have different values on each lens, otherwise the adjustments needed are far too great and will show on production. I'm still testing under different conditions and will do another video soon.

@@ColRose maybe, but split iflters are not polarised

@@radionursu9824 Good point but I hardly ever use polarise filters unless I'm trying to get a particular shot over water.

@@ColRose ok, got it, I need all packet then because indend to shoot over water too 😅
