Quick Caveat:
I was sent these filters to review from Freewell Gear. I have bought, used and reviewed their filters in the past so I already knew they would do the job.
You are more limited with drones than ground cameras when choosing which filters to use on the Mini 3. It all depends on the flying conditions, the look you are after and what you need for each job or shoot.

My Favourite filter for the DJI Mini 3:
When used correctly and in the right conditions, I feel that the ND filters with built in polariser (polarizer US) gives superb results. The ND part reduces the shutter speed for a more realistic filmic look and the polariser filter cuts through the shine and reflections on water, windows and even the air to give rich, colourful results.
