Hi All,

I have found may great guides on here for my Yi camera but there is one extra thing I would like to be able to do with it. Daytime long exposure shots.
I go on quite a few bushwalks and usually video them with my Yi which is cool and all but the people over in EarthPorn on reddit have got me wanting to take daytime long exposure shots.

Even with the lowest ISO set daytime shots turn out to be pure white. Has anyone had any luck or know any trick that I could use to get daytime long exposures?
 
Hey nCaine thanks for the reply.

Hopefully this works, from my quick read-up it basically darkens/doesn't let as much light in?

Any places that would sell an ND filter for Xiaomi Yi?

edit> I currently have a CPL filter for the Yi, would that be something similar? I can't wait till I get home to try this.

Hey nCaine,

I had a look around banggood but I could not find any nd filters, they all seem to be UV or CPL. I did however find one over at gearbest, but that was only a ND2. I have found a ND2,4,8 pack but that is in 52mm and does not come with any mounting bracket for the Yi.
 
Thanks for that nCaine, however I am still using the original Xiaomi Yi. I don't have the new 4k version. From research I do believe the new one has a slightly smaller lens, but maybe I can add some padding into that one you linked and stick it on the original?
 
Hey nCain, I have seen a few of those 3 filter listings, the only thing with those is I have never seen any confirmation if it actually attaches to the lens of the Yi. Would I have to create a homemade attachment seeings as they just seem to be the 58mm filter that doesn't have any smaller sizing attachment.
 
I cant help you mate, probable you gonna have to make it DIY
