if so you can make a small lens hood from gorilla tape or something like that

Won't the lens hood be visible if you did this? I mean the lens on the GoPro is such a wide angle I would think it would "see" the hood pretty easily, no?

IrishSights said:I have used a small thin plastic piece stuck to the top of the GoPro. I deliberately cut it big so that it could be seen in the FOV. Then using scissors kept clipping it back so it could just no longer could be seen. At present I have no filter attached. It has been successful for me in cutting out the prop shadow.
An ND filter will not stop prop shadow, jello maybe
shrill mute said:A lens hood is the answer. Really big ND filters will also work but are not the best solution. Alternatively, you can tilt the camera dwon so the props' shadows don't fall on the lens.
Super duper custom tape lens hood and a small ND filter:

****. that gopro has some miles on it.
do you have a gimbal? did you have to counterbalance yours?

I have a Tarot T2d and a Zenmuse H3-3D.
No counterweight required.
Uncle Meat said:I've read more than a hand full of Zenmuse gimbals are ruined because of added lens filters without any thought to a counterweight?

I've read posts about folks who were worried about that happening but haven't read a single post documenting that conjecture. Do you have any links?
The early H3-2Ds would go limp when a filter was used - that's a different thing.

I'll see if I can dig up some links. Funny that DJI even states in the Zenmuse manuals that adding ANYTHING to the Gopro is a no-no and can cause issues. I'll even go so far as to bet DJI would void the warranty on the gimbal if they knew there was added weight.

This is right out of the manual...
