Style name: ND8+ND16+ND32+ND64

Since the Flip is a drone for decidedly hobby use, it is possible that most owners have never used filters for the optics of this type of device. What I am going to explain will therefore also contain some general references; I hope not to bore those who already know this information perfectly well.

The set contains four ND type filters, i.e. 'neutral density'. In practice, they act as, so to speak, pure and simple dimmers of incoming light, a sort of sunglasses. The numerical value represents the fraction of the light that reaches the lens compared to the absence of filters. In other words, the ND8 filter will reduce the incoming light to an eighth. As mentioned, these types of filters do not offer any secondary function, such as a polarizing anti-reflection layer, but they are essential especially in videos to obtain movies with the most natural and cinematic movements of subjects.

Right from the start, you notice the excellent packaging, with a really well-made plastic box with a perfectly secure double closure. In combination, there is also a special piece that is always useful. Let's move specifically to the four filters. They are very light, weighing less than a gram, so when installed they do not exceed the total weight of the Flip, keeping it below 250 grams, and therefore in full legality to fly in category C0 (which does not require, among other things, any type of license). Removing it from the housing is quite convenient, but a minimum of attention must be paid to not create fingerprints on the lens. No problem with regard to the application on the lens block. It happens on a snap and if you hear the classic click, you can be sure that it is mounted correctly. For reasons of space, since the frame is really thin, the writing that indicates the type of filter (ND8, 16, 32 or 64) is quite difficult to read. I therefore recommend assigning each filter a specific position inside the case so as not to have to check every time. As for the rendering of the images, they do their job perfectly without deformation or anything else. At the chromatic level, in some situations I noticed a very slight deviation towards red, but it is quite normal and absolutely acceptable.

In conclusion, a very good set of filters, well made and well equipped. If you own the DJI Flip it is an almost obligatory purchase, especially if you are used to shooting in very bright settings.
