Freewellβs new filter kits for the DJI Mavic 4 Pro include CPL, Split ND, Split ND/PL, Glow Mist, and LPR filters. Designed for better exposure control, reduced reflections, and creative effects, the filters are built with Gimbal Safe Technology and optical glass to ensure image quality and flight stability. Multiple bundles are available for different shooting needs. Let’s take a closer look at the Freewell Mavic 4 Pro filters.
Announced in May 2025, the DJI Mavic 4 Pro caught the attention of many filmmakers and photographers by bringing a number anticipated innovations. The sphere-shaped infinity gimbal with three cameras gives the drone a very distinctive look. Even though the drone’s main camera features a variable aperture, it is vital to use ND filters to achieve the right motion blur when filming. DJI offers an ND filter kit, but there are now a few third-party kits that offer more flexibility and options. One of them is Freewell. Let’s take a look at the company’s filters for the Mavic 4 Pro.
Freewell’s new range of filters built specifically for the DJI Mavic 4 Pro aims to give drone operators greater control over how they capture aerial footage in varied lighting environments. The new kits bring a mix of exposure control, light balancing, and creative effects to DJIβs flagship drone.
The lineup includes several types of filters: CPL (circular polarizer), Split ND, LPR (light pollution reduction), Glow Mist, and a Split ND/PL hybrid. Each is intended to solve a specific challenge when shooting from the air, whether itβs managing glare, balancing exposure between sky and ground, or softening highlights for a more cinematic look.
One of the more technically interesting additions is the Split ND/PL filter, which combines neutral density and polarizing functions into a single unit. This can reduce reflections and bring out more natural color contrast without requiring users to swap filters mid-shoot.
Also notable is the Dual Focal Length Split ND filter. Designed with variable focal lengths in mind, it offers more consistent exposure control when switching between wide-angle and zoomed-in shots. This is a useful feature for drone users working in dynamic environments or with shifting compositions. The idea is that the filter for the main camera is twice as strong as the filters for the two telephoto cameras. This makes sense as the main camera features a faster aperture and it often includes a larger portion of the sky in frame so it is generally brighter.
The CPL filter helps reduce surface reflections from water or glass while improving saturation and contrast, making it a useful tool for landscape or architectural work. The Glow Mist filter is aimed more at stylized shooting, diffusing highlights to create a soft, atmospheric effect. For those who shoot after dark, the LPR filter targets artificial light interference, reducing the orange-yellow cast often seen in city nightscapes.
All filters are built using Freewellβs Gimbal Safe Technology, which ensures that the added weight and shape wonβt interfere with the Mavic 4 Proβs stabilization system. They’re constructed from optical glass with coatings intended to preserve sharpness and maintain color accuracy across the frame.
Freewell is offering the filters in various bundles, allowing users to choose based on shooting needs. The filters are available now and the pricing starts at $29.99 for a single filter. Additionally, there are six pre-configured sets of filters all the way up to the ultimate 12-piece kit which includes all the filters and sells for $229.99. The best thing is that you can get an additional 10% discount on checkout with our code CINED10 if you order from their site.
