I never tried to do long exposure with my drones. Do you stack them? Or how you achieve that? I know on mini 3 Pro is only 2 seconds max on shutter speed unfortunately.

2 seconds is more than enough for a long exposure. Sometimes it's even too long if you want to leave a little texture in the water flow.

Actually i just use the ND 1000 filter on pro settings. It opens the shutter longer..

Nd1000? My max nd I have on my drone is nd64. So basically I need to use high nd filter to open the shutter speed for longer?

I've tried couple of times with 2 seconds, and haven't achieved what I wanted. Even during the night time.

Yup its great for waterfalls and water hitting rocks… i found that filter works so good for that effect after feedback from other drone users.

Thanks for this tip. Would you say that an nd64 will be alright? Or needs higher nd filter?

I purchased some free well nd filters for my avata. Didn't had a chance to use them yet. The weather is rubbish.

But for my air 2s and mini 3 Pro I have the filters from dji.

Wow amazing!!! 🤩

Not using them as much as I wish. But now I'm leaning towards video creating and YouTube channel. I pulled the trigger and bought an expensive laptop as well for video editing. Otherwise, could purchased a mavic 3 Pro.
