Why you need ND Filters for Motion Blur on your DJI Osmo Pocket 3

In this video, I explore how to achieve cinematic motion blur when shooting 24fps video on the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. I discuss the importance of using the right shutter speed according to the 180-degree shutter rule and how to overcome overexposure issues by using ND (Neutral Density) filters.

I demonstrate the difference between footage shot with a fast shutter speed and one shot with a slower shutter speed of 1/50th of a second, which adheres to the 180-degree shutter rule for 24fps video.

I also showcase my K&F ND filters, which are an affordable alternative to the official DJI filters, and explain how to use them effectively in different lighting conditions.

Additionally, I briefly touch on the creative possibilities of deviating from the 180-degree shutter rule to achieve different artistic effects and discuss the applicability of the rule to other frame rates like 30fps and 60fps.

    Instant subscribe x4. Are you covering DJI drones any time soon?
  • Why are people so stupid, and I don’t understand that 24 frames was relevant for film projectors with mechanical frame changing. Modern display media have 50, 60, 100 frames, which is in no way a multiple of 24 frames, which means they undergo transformations. And motion blur doesn’t save you from jerky pictures!
