Freewell Neo 2 ND32 Magnetic Filter | Control light in bright drone footage

Freewell Neo 2 ND32 Magnetic Filter is a magnetic neutral-density filter with an ND32 rating, made for drone pilots working in bright conditions. ND32 reduces the light reaching the camera to one thirty-second of its unfiltered level—a five-stop reduction. That can help when strong daylight would otherwise force you to use a very fast shutter, particularly in video where you want motion to look natural rather than sharply frozen. Its magnetic attachment is suited to pilots who want a direct way to fit a filter as they prepare to fly. It can also help with stills in full sun, when reducing light gives you more room to set your exposure. Think of it as a focused tool for bright scenes, rather than a filter for every change in weather or light. Recheck exposure as conditions shift.

Using ND32

A five-stop reduction is a substantial change, so treat fitting the filter as a cue to set exposure again. For video, choose your frame rate first, then select a shutter speed that suits the motion you want and adjust exposure from there. In strong daylight, the ND32 can help you keep that shutter choice instead of letting excess light dictate a much faster one. In softer light, a filter this strong may reduce more light than you need.
