Overview

The NiSi ND16/PL is a dual-purpose filter designed exclusively for the DJI Mavic 2 Pro drone's Hasselblad camera system. It combines a 4-stop neutral density filter with a circular polarizer into a single piece of optical glass, allowing drone pilots to reduce exposure and eliminate glare without stacking multiple filters. In practice, this means you can shoot aerial video in bright daylight at cinematic shutter speeds — following the 180-degree shutter rule — while simultaneously enhancing color saturation and cutting reflections off water, glass, and foliage below.

Build quality is a NiSi hallmark, and this filter is no exception. The optical glass element is designed to maintain sharpness across the frame with minimal color shift, which is critical given the Mavic 2 Pro's large 1-inch sensor and its ability to capture fine detail. The filter's mounting system clips directly onto the Mavic 2 Pro's lens housing for a secure fit that won't affect gimbal stability or autofocus accuracy. For aerial photographers and videographers who regularly shoot over landscapes, coastlines, or urban environments in daylight, this combo filter streamlines the workflow and delivers visibly improved results in a single, compact accessory.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Combines ND and polarizing functions in a single filter, eliminating the need to carry and swap two separate filters
  • Optical glass construction delivers sharp image quality with minimal color cast
  • Purpose-built for the Mavic 2 Pro so it fits securely without wobble or vignetting
  • 4-stop light reduction enables proper cinematic shutter speeds in bright daylight
  • Polarization effect enhances color richness and cuts glare from water and reflective surfaces

👎 Cons

  • Only compatible with the DJI Mavic 2 Pro — cannot be used on other drones or cameras
  • Fixed 4-stop density may be too strong for overcast conditions and too light for extremely bright midday sun
  • Polarization angle is not independently adjustable once the filter is mounted on the drone
  • Higher price point than basic single-purpose ND filters

Frequently Asked Questions

The ND16 component reduces incoming light by 4 stops, allowing for slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright conditions. The PL (polarizer) component simultaneously cuts glare and reflections from surfaces like water and glass, boosting color saturation and contrast — combining two filter effects in a single piece of glass.
No, this filter is specifically designed for the DJI Mavic 2 Pro's Hasselblad camera module. It will not fit the Mavic 2 Zoom, Mavic Air, Mini series, or other DJI drones.
The NiSi filter is engineered to be lightweight enough that it does not interfere with the Mavic 2 Pro's gimbal balance or autofocus performance. No gimbal recalibration is needed after installation.
A 4-stop ND16 is ideal for bright daylight shooting, where it lets you maintain a cinematic shutter speed (typically double your frame rate) without overexposing the footage. It's especially effective for midday flying over reflective landscapes.
