This is what I am finding to be the hardest part, well, more awkward really, in relation to using a drone for video footage; mind you, I had the same challenges when using my DSLR for video too. What I have found is the need to shoot video in 2 or even 3 passes in some places, then to combine that footage later on in editing. That allows me to switch out ND filters as needed, to keep the same shutter speed & ISO. It is indeed a lot of faffing around (I love that term!) but is worth it, when you see nice smooth exposures on playback after editing the bits together.

Just realised that considering I don't intend to ever do this as a professional thing I take it a bit serious!
You're welcome, Rob. I like your approach to self-development in regards to using the Anafi, it's very sound. I tend to go somewhere for an initial play & explore, finding what may work well, what surprises I discover & to work through a series of different types of aerial captures that I have a list of, seeing what works well there & what doesn't. Then revisit the place, when possible, with a plan of attack, so to speak. I am yet to share any video's that are my revisits, as I have some severe time limitations, unfortunately.
