Full details
The Freewell ND1000 filter is an essential tool for DJI Mini 4 Pro drone pilots who frequently shoot in bright, high-contrast environments. It is designed for cinematographers and landscape photographers seeking to capture professional cinematic motion blur or long-exposure shots by restricting 10 stops of light, though it is specifically intended for daylight conditions and may be too dark for dusk or indoor use.

FAQs
Can I leave the filter on during the drone's self-check?
Yes, the GimbalSafe design is intended to be light enough to remain on the camera, but if you experience any gimbal jitters, remove the filter and perform a recalibration.
What is an ND1000 filter used for?
It is used to reduce light by 10 stops, allowing for long exposure photography and cinematic motion blur in extremely bright lighting conditions.
Does this filter work with other DJI drones?
No, this specific filter is custom-built for the DJI Mini 4 Pro and will not fit other models.
Is the filter scratch-proof?
It features a scratch-resistant coating, but it should still be handled with care and stored in its protective case when not in use.
How do I know if I need an ND1000 versus an ND64?
The ND1000 is for extreme, direct sunlight conditions. The ND64 is better suited for typical sunny days; use the ND1000 only when you need significant light reduction.
Troubleshooting
Gimbal calibration error on startup
Ensure the filter is seated perfectly flush on the camera. An improperly aligned filter can add enough weight imbalance to trigger a calibration error.
Footage appears too dark
The ND1000 is a very dense filter. Ensure you are shooting in direct, bright sunlight. If the light levels are moderate, switch to a lower density filter like an ND8 or ND16.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, gently remove the stock lens cover from your DJI Mini 4 Pro and press the Freewell filter onto the lens housing until it snaps into place. Always ensure the drone is powered off before mounting the filter to prevent the gimbal from making erratic movements.
For maintenance, avoid using abrasive cloths. Clean the glass using a dedicated lens pen or a clean microfiber cloth. Store the filter in its provided protective case when not in use to prevent scratches on the optical glass.
