Neewer Variable ND Filter Set 2-pack for DJI Air 3S

This set of variable neutral density (ND) filters from Neewer is aimed at aerial photographers using the DJI Air 3S who need flexible light control for both video and stills. The pair includes a variable ND2–32 (1–5 stops) and a variable ND64–512 (6–9 stops), allowing smoother shutter speeds and wider apertures in bright outdoor conditions to capture motion blur and balanced exposures.

Key Points

The two-variable filter approach covers a wide range of light reduction, so you can adapt quickly between slightly overcast scenes and bright midday sun without carrying many single-stop filters. Each filter has clear engraved markings to help you set the desired density precisely by rotating the ring. The slim profile reduces the chance of vignetting on the Air 3S’ camera and keeps the gimbal balance stable when attached. Multiple anti-reflective and protective coatings on the glass improve clarity while resisting water, fingerprints and light scratching, which makes field cleaning easier and helps preserve image colours.

Usage Recommendations

Install by removing the camera protective cover, aligning the filter tabs with the gimbal slots and rotating gently until secure. When you need gradual adjustments between exposures, use the ND2–32 filter for small reductions and the ND64–512 when you require heavy attenuation for slower shutter speeds. Take care when using the stronger ND at low ISO or when panning quickly, as long exposure times will increase motion blur and may require different shooting techniques to keep subjects recognisable. Also consider that strong variable ND settings can introduce cross-polarisation or slight colour shifts in certain lighting; adjusting white balance in-camera or in post will help maintain natural tones. 📷

Positive Aspects

The slim design and precise markings make quick changes straightforward in the field, and the multiple coatings reduce reflections and surface contamination for cleaner captures. These filters let you experiment with cinematic motion blur for moving subjects or silky smooth water when flying low over rivers and coastlines. They are compact to carry and simple to fit during a shoot, which keeps setup time to a minimum and preserves gimbal calibration during filming. 🌤️

Note that, according to the manufacturer, variable ND filters can sometimes produce a slight vignetting or uneven darkening at the extreme ends of their range depending on focal length and aperture. For critical colour matching across shots, test the filter settings beforehand and record reference frames to help with grading. 🎬
