Mavic Air Cine ND Filters, ND 4
Our Review
Mavic Air Cine ND4 Filter — Smoother, Less Jittery Aerial Footage of Your Destinations
The gist: A 2-stop ND filter built specifically for the DJI Mavic Air that trades harsh, shutter-locked drone footage for the smoother motion blur that makes establishing shots of a coastline or city actually look cinematic.
- Purpose-built light control: A 2-stop neutral density filter lets you slow your shutter speed in bright-but-not-blazing conditions (overcast skies, early morning, shaded terrain) without overexposing.
- Lightweight by design: Made from aerospace-grade aluminum, about 10% lighter than a standard filter, which matters directly for gimbal stability and battery efficiency on a small drone.
- Weather-resistant glass: Hydrophobic, scratch-resistant coatings help it shrug off mist, sea spray, or dust during a travel shoot.
- Direct mount: Attaches straight onto the Mavic Air drone lens — note it is not compatible with Moment's Drone Anamorphic Lens.
As DJI's own filter guide explains, ND filters let drone shooters slow the shutter to follow the "180-degree shutter rule" (shutter speed roughly double the frame rate) for natural motion blur instead of the strobing look of an uncorrected fast shutter in daylight.
Best for: Mavic Air owners shooting travel establishing shots in moderate daylight who want smoother, less choppy footage. Skip it if: you fly a newer DJI model — this is Mavic Air-specific and listed as a final-sale, discontinued item, so stock and compatibility are limited. Runs about $5 — check the current price before buying.
