Take a look at Polar Pro. Filters slip on over stock filter so they can slip over the Taco filters too.

I also use the Taco filters and would recommend them over either of the Polar Pro sets due to weight and price. Just posted the Polar sale for those who may be interested.

B and H is running a one day sale today on the Polar Pro 3 pack. On sale for $30, normally $70. I personally use another brand, so I can't comment on these, but others on here use them and have rated them positively. B&H DealZone

Just curious, were all of your O-rings in place like the one in your photo? A couple of mine seem a little too large and don't sit in as nicely as yours. The filters still seem to work fine. Sometimes it takes a few tries getting them on properly.

Depending on what part of Philly you live in... you may be more concerned with not getting shot yourself.

Cool. I work in video production only on the production side. No post production. The editors I work with want to do as little tweaking, color correction, etc. due to the volume of work. Therefore, I've grown accustomed to making it look as good as possible in the field in order to limit post...

Great points. One thing to note is that the ND filters are being used to control shutter speed, and therefore the overall look of the video, not just exposure. I am not aware of a way to fix this in post. One could shoot a properly exposed sunny landscape without an ND filter, but you're likely...

Thanks. So using the method described in this video, someone not as familiar with this topic will always think an ND 4 (2 stop filter) is the correct filter to choose in bright sun.

I question the accuracy of determining the correct filter in this video example. Perhaps I am wrong, but I've never seen EV higher than +2 on the Phantom. In this video, it works because you can see his shutter is 640, so cutting exposure by 2 stops would bring him down to 120 shutter and a...

But you have free health care, so it kind of evens out. ;)

I probably had this for over a year before the P3 came out. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0096SJU3U/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_QNgYvb02YRF1K Controls are the same, $30. Buy extra batteries. Works indoors and outdoors. Crashed a few times, destroyed one, bought another. Like someone else stated, don't waste...

I remember you. Did you happen to fly this P3 in the rain? BTW, Amazon is still selling the P3, and yes, they are the seller. Either you are the most unlucky person in the P3 community, or you need to re-read the manual. Resetting everything every flight including IMU calibration? Don't do that...

That depends on your desired shutter speed and current shutter speed based on lighting conditions when and where you typically shoot. Per the 180 degree rule, if you typically shoot 1080 30p, your desired shutter speed should be set to 60. ND 32 cuts light by 5 stops. That means you could slow...

They are available now... but that could change by the time you read this.
