What’s in the Box?

Features – Explained with Extra Depth (and a Dash of Humor)
1. Create That Perfect Cinematic Motion Blur, Even in Harsh Sunlight
When you fly without an ND filter in bright daylight, your camera is forced to crank up shutter speed to prevent overexposure—resulting in jittery, robotic footage that lacks life. ND filters reduce incoming light, allowing you to use slower shutter speeds, just like professional cinematographers. The result? Smooth motion blur that feels natural, dreamy, and, honestly, pretty expensive-looking. It’s like turning your drone into a flying film crew.
2. Made from High-Grade Optical Glass for Ultra-Crisp Quality
Cheap filters can turn your shots into a smeared painting, but this DJI ND filter set uses high-quality optical glass that maintains sharpness, enhances contrast, and preserves colors. So whether you’re flying over desert dunes or crystal-clear waters, you’ll capture every detail in its truest form. No haze, no weird tints—just pure, uninterrupted cinematic glory.
3. Feather-Light Yet Strong – Designed for Flight, Not Fight
Each filter is built ultra-lightweight to avoid putting extra pressure on the gimbal. They’re so light your drone won’t even feel the difference, but they’re still sturdy enough to handle wind, vibration, and flight pressure. It’s like wearing prescription glasses made of carbon fiber—functional, weightless, and barely noticeable, but life-changing.
4. Quick-Swap Magnetic Mount – Save Time, Catch Light
When the sun’s angle changes every 20 minutes, you don’t have time to wrestle with filters. These filters are designed to snap on and off easily, letting you switch from ND8 to ND128 in seconds—no tools, no stress. Whether you’re a sunrise shooter or sunset chaser, you can adapt to the light instantly and keep capturing without missing a moment.
5. Weather-Resistant Coating – Say Goodbye to Smudges, Dust, and Moisture
Your drone flies through all kinds of environments—dusty trails, foggy forests, or even beach winds filled with salt. These filters are coated to resist moisture, oil, and scratches, so you’re not constantly cleaning or worrying about damage. You focus on flying and framing; these filters handle the mess.
How to Use the DJI Air 3S ND Filter Set
-
Choose the Right Filter Based on Lighting – ND8 for cloudy days, ND32 for bright daylight, ND128 for ultra-bright or reflective scenes like beaches or snow.
-
Power Off the Drone First – Always shut it down before attaching anything near the gimbal to prevent damage.
-
Gently Snap the Filter On – Align the filter with the camera lens and apply gentle pressure until it clicks into place.
-
Adjust Exposure Settings Accordingly – Open your DJI Fly app and set your frame rate, shutter speed, and ISO after mounting the filter for perfect exposure.
-
Swap Filters As Light Changes – Carry all three filters in your kit and switch them as the lighting conditions shift during your shoot.
How to Clean the ND Filters
-
Use a Soft Microfiber Cloth After Each Flight – Dust and airborne particles settle on the lens quickly, especially during outdoor flights.
-
Lens Cleaning Solution for Fingerprints – A drop or two of lens-safe liquid removes oil smudges without harming the coating.
-
Blow Off Debris Gently – Use a lens blower to remove sand or particles before wiping to avoid scratches.
-
Never Use Tissues or Rough Fabric – They might feel soft to your fingers but can scratch filter coatings badly.
-
Store in the Original Case – Keep each filter in its designated slot to protect it from accidental damage when not in use.
Do’s & Don’ts for Safe Flying and Clean Shots
Do:
-
Match your ND filter to the lighting condition for best exposure.
-
Clean the filters regularly, especially after beach or desert flights.
-
Use them with manual camera settings for full control and pro results.
-
Store them in the original box or a protective filter pouch.
-
Practice using each ND level to understand its visual impact better.
Don’t:
-
Don’t force the filter onto the lens—it should fit naturally.
-
Don’t fly with dirty, oily, or cracked filters—your footage will suffer.
-
Don’t touch the glass with your bare fingers. Use edges for grip.
-
Don’t mix ND filters from different brands—color mismatches can ruin footage.
-
Don’t leave filters on in low-light situations—it’ll make footage too dark.
