Aeroo Atlas Clarity ND Filter Set – Enhanced Aerial Photography and Video
Take Greater Control of Your Aeroo Atlas Camera
Enhance your aerial photography and video recording with the Aeroo Atlas Clarity ND Filter Set, a dedicated camera filter accessory for the Aeroo Atlas drone range.
Whether you’re capturing beautiful coastal landscapes, filming fishing adventures or recording scenic aerial footage, neutral density filters provide greater control over the amount of light entering your drone’s camera.
The Aeroo Atlas features a 12MP camera with a 1/2.6-inch image sensor, 4K video recording at 30 frames per second and a 3-axis mechanical gimbal.
Adding ND filters to your camera equipment allows you to manage exposure in bright lighting conditions and achieve a more natural cinematic appearance in your footage.
What Are Neutral Density Filters?
Neutral density filters, commonly known as ND filters, act like sunglasses for your camera lens.
They reduce the amount of light reaching the camera sensor without intentionally changing the colours of the scene.
When filming outdoors in bright sunlight, the camera may require a very fast shutter speed to avoid overexposing the image.
While fast shutter speeds can produce sharp individual frames, they may also create video that appears less natural during movement.
An ND filter reduces incoming light, allowing you to select a slower shutter speed while maintaining appropriate exposure.
This can help produce smoother-looking motion when recording aerial footage.
Benefits of Using ND Filters
- Improved exposure control: Reduce excessive light in bright outdoor conditions.
- Smoother video motion: Allow slower shutter speeds for more natural motion blur.
- Cinematic footage: Achieve a more traditional video appearance.
- Greater creative flexibility: Adjust camera settings to suit changing lighting conditions.
- Bright-weather filming: Particularly useful over beaches, coastlines and open landscapes.
Ideal for Aerial Photography and 4K Video
The Aeroo Atlas records 4K video at up to 30 frames per second, making it a versatile platform for aerial filming.
For videographers seeking a cinematic appearance, a commonly used technique is to select a shutter speed approximately double the video frame rate.
For example, when recording at 30fps, a shutter speed of approximately 1/60 second can produce natural-looking motion blur.
In bright sunlight, achieving this shutter speed without overexposing the image can be difficult.
The Aeroo Atlas Clarity ND Filter Set helps address this challenge by reducing incoming light, allowing greater control over exposure.
The result can be smoother-looking footage when filming moving subjects, coastlines and scenic aerial landscapes.
Achieving a particular shutter speed depends on the camera’s available exposure controls, ambient lighting and the selected filter.
Perfect for Coastal and Beach Photography
Bright coastal environments often present challenging lighting conditions for aerial cameras.
Sunlight reflecting from sand and water can create high-contrast scenes, particularly around midday.
Neutral density filters help reduce the overall amount of light entering the camera, providing greater flexibility when recording aerial footage.
The Clarity ND Filter Set is especially useful for:
- Coastal and beach aerial videography.
- Scenic landscape filming.
- Recording fishing adventures.
- Capturing smooth aerial movements.
- Filming in strong midday sunlight.
- Outdoor travel and recreational video production.
For anglers who use their Atlas as both a fishing drone and an aerial camera platform, ND filters provide additional flexibility when recording their adventures.
Greater Creative Control Over Shutter Speed
Shutter speed plays an important role in how motion appears in recorded video.
Very fast shutter speeds can make movement appear unusually sharp or staccato, particularly when the drone moves across a landscape.
By reducing the amount of incoming light, ND filters allow photographers and videographers to experiment with slower shutter speeds where supported by the camera.
This can produce more natural motion blur when recording moving water, vehicles or other subjects.
Different ND filter strengths provide different levels of light reduction, making filter selection dependent on the brightness of the environment.
The exact strengths included in the Atlas Clarity ND Filter Set should be confirmed against the manufacturer’s package specifications.
Designed for the Aeroo Atlas Camera System
The Aeroo Atlas Clarity ND Filter Set is offered as a dedicated accessory for the Atlas drone range.
The Atlas camera features:
- 12MP photography.
- 1/2.6-inch image sensor.
- 4K video recording at 30fps.
- 3-axis mechanical camera gimbal.
- 6× digital zoom.
- 2.7K live camera view.
The Clarity ND Filter Set complements these imaging capabilities by giving pilots additional options for managing light during aerial filming.
Use only manufacturer-approved filters and ensure they are correctly installed before flight.
Compatible with the Aeroo Atlas Range
The Aeroo Atlas Clarity ND Filter Set is intended for the Aeroo Atlas aircraft, including:
- Aeroo Atlas Standard with Smart Controller.
- Aeroo Atlas Standard with Smart Controller + Obstacle Avoidance.
- Aeroo Atlas Combo with Smart Controller.
- Aeroo Atlas Fishing Combo with Smart Controller.
- Aeroo Atlas Fishing Combo with Smart Controller + Obstacle Avoidance.
The filters are camera accessories and are not dependent on which controller or battery package is supplied with the drone.
Please Note: Compatibility with the earlier Aeroo Pro camera has not been confirmed. The Atlas and Pro filter systems should not be assumed interchangeable.
Clarity ND Filters vs Polarising Filters
Every Aeroo Atlas kit includes a polarising (PL) filter designed to help reduce reflected glare from surfaces such as water.
Neutral density filters serve a different purpose.
A polarising filter is primarily used to manage reflected light and glare, while an ND filter reduces the overall amount of light entering the lens.
For pilots wanting to record cinematic aerial footage, ND filters are a useful addition to the included polarising filter.
Why Choose the Aeroo Atlas Clarity ND Filter Set?
The Aeroo Atlas Clarity ND Filter Set is a practical accessory for pilots seeking greater control over their aerial camera settings.
By reducing the amount of light reaching the camera sensor, ND filters allow more flexibility when selecting shutter speeds and managing exposure in bright environments.
Whether you’re filming a fishing adventure, capturing coastal landscapes or experimenting with cinematic aerial videography, the Clarity ND Filter Set expands the creative possibilities of your Aeroo Atlas.

Understanding ND filter strengths
The following table is a general photography reference to help customers understand ND filters. It does not indicate which filters are included in this particular Aeroo set.
| Filter strength | Light reduction | Typical application |
|---|---|---|
| ND4 | 2 stops | Mildly bright conditions |
| ND8 | 3 stops | Bright daylight |
| ND16 | 4 stops | Strong sunlight |
| ND32 | 5 stops | Very bright conditions |
| ND64 | 6 stops | Intense sunlight or slower shutter speeds |
The appropriate filter depends on the lighting conditions, frame rate, ISO and desired shutter speed. ND filters do not inherently remove water reflections in the way a polarising filter can
