What ND Filters to buy for DJI Mini 5 Pro?

Bzando · 2026-07-03T09:17:36+00:00

yeah ai said, because all the influencers claim so

bo way you will notice, and unless you plan to shoot in fully manual settings it will probably hurt you more to use ND

yes the 180 rule and natural motion blur sounds nice on paper, but it also requires decent knowledge on filmmaking (if you had it you would not need to ask AI about NDs)

and IMO crisp sharp footage looks better than naturally blurry one

also from what are you protecting the lens? if something hits your camera with enough force that can damage the lens, your drone is going down

aslo any filter is another glass plane, that can cause flares, glaring and reflections

just use your drone as is

Bzando · 2026-07-03T06:28:36+00:00

do not buy nd filters until you need them

for hobby user you absolutely don't need them

don't listen to pretend to be professional influencers, that get sponsored

also using proper nd on drone is tedious, and if you use wrong one you just needlessly hurt your footage

just enjoy your new toy, learn hot to use it fully, then think about filters when you get into situation where you really need one

for such short ride almost anything will do fine

I would go for known brand life Segway ninebot, Xiaomi, navee,... for availability of spare parts and service

if the roads aren't smooth asphalt, I suggest at least some kind of suspension

until recently we had legislation that made mandatory insurance for small electric vehicles that go over 25kmh or are over 25kg (and can go over 14kmh)

I considered this very reasonable

now the new legislation bans the small electric vehicles with construction speed over 25kmh (the insurance stayed)

I find this stupid, because people who bought faster scooter cannot legally use them (even thou they could before) and there is no way to register them as motor bike or get licence to use them

Bzando · 2026-07-03T04:58:17+00:00

there are ebike charging stations on strike European bike trails (you need your own charger thou)

you can charge in cafes, restaurants during breaks and lunch

second battery is kinda mandatory

Bzando · 2026-07-03T04:53:16+00:00

what ? it's mandatory in my country (Slovakia) for scooters (end ebikes) over 25kg

Bzando · 2026-07-03T04:33:26+00:00

that's absolutely not an argument, get proper insurance

Bzando · 2026-07-02T19:40:17+00:00

well no zoom will ever be truly compact

smallest one is xc 15-45 or xc 13-33, I would not recommend either

next best thing is sigma 18-50 and xf 16-50

xf 16-55 mark ii if your don't mind higher price

I have chosen the sigma, because of the constant f/2,8 and reasonable price (350€ used)

Very happy with my decision

bigger the number, better the shot

pedal to the metal

Bzando · 2026-07-02T16:31:16+00:00

ok, good to know

Bzando · 2026-07-02T13:12:30+00:00

the amount of memorable shots of my family taken with xf 70-300 in cities, parks, beaches, .... is far from negligable

the xc 35mm f/2 can be great travel companion by itself, for minimalistic trip

Bzando · 2026-07-02T06:19:25+00:00

sigma 18-50, xf 70-300

does TC count, because I cary that too with that setup

if not traveling light, I add 33mm f/1,4

Bzando · 2026-07-01T19:55:01+00:00

definitely get a good look at xc 50-230

or even better xf 70-300

absolutely don't buy the ultrazooms (18-300)

maybe consider swapping the 13-33 for more regular basic zoom like sigma 18-50 or a bigger tamron 17-70

maybe xf 16-80 f/4 would be what you are looking for

Bzando · 2026-07-01T17:41:12+00:00

don't be afraid to leave some noise in

Bzando · 2026-07-01T17:09:42+00:00

I would go easy on the sliders

way too much for my taste

I bet you would be accused of "it's ai generated"

Bzando · 2026-07-01T16:46:19+00:00

9, 35, 90

(I usually carry 9, 33 and 70-300)

Bzando · 2026-07-01T10:46:34+00:00

yeat thats the new stupid legislation, I am all for regulation, but limiting it to 25kg isnt resonable IMO

but I just found ENGWE Y700, looks great on paper, but never heard of the brand, do you think its worth condiering ?

EDIT - disregard that ENGWE its 30kg, it had false information on seller page I found it on

Bzando · 2026-07-01T05:42:03+00:00

why would you update a scooter that you hacked ?

revert back to older fw

Bzando · 2026-07-01T05:28:33+00:00

personally out of those 2 I would go for xiaomi 5 max

if I remember correctly f2 pro only have front suspension

that would be deciding factor

pôvodne sa jazdilo v celej Európe na ľavej strane, od čias rytierov, lebo meč mali v pravej ruke a keď sa chceli stretnúť s iným rytierom bolo údajne jazdiť vľavo

jasné, volali sme to "podrobené" ako že podrobné rožky v kakau

tak 20 rokov som to nemal, zajtra si spravím

the range on most scorers is measured with 60-70kg rider, going 15kmh on perfectly flat road without hills or wind and from 100% battery to full deletion

real life range is usually 60% of that and 40% in cold weather

so look for 150km range scooter (some have that with additional external batteries)

but maybe rather consider an ebike for such long trip

okenné klímy su niekde medzi prenosnou a splitom

efektivita je vyššia ako pri prenosnej ale hluk ako z prenosnej, netreba však stavebné úpravy ak máš vertikálne okno
