Dji nd filters

[stathisgal]

Does anyone here in the forum have experience with dji nd filters? The most commonly referred nd filters here in the forum is the polar pro I think. Any suggestions? I want good optical quality. Thanks!

I was checking this out myself the other day - have a look. Good luck.

I am using the 6 filter polar pro set and am impressed with their quality. The threads fit nicely and I like that vs using gels, and the glass is of very nice quality. Plus they are very light vs some other options so no counterweight needed on the gimbal.

Thanks a lot. I was just wondering why not take an nd filter from dji... They made the optics in the p3 cameras in the first place. Why consider buying from third party? (Besides the cp which I haven't seen any from dji)

Can't argue with your logic on that statement and I feel the same way. Having said that and at the same time, I also realize there are people, companies and developers out there for just about anything who's sole focus is on taking a small part of another's product and spending more time and r & d on just that to improve it. Not that I agree with that - and I'm usually very loyal to those who are the original OEM.

Considering the price of em - and if we are serious with regard to photography and vids - it's worth taking a look at some 3rd party filters and lenses.

I have about 7 filters including several polar pro filters.

My single favorite is the snake river ND16/CP. Cuts the light on sunny daylight so you can reduce the shutter speed. Nice circular polarizer which reduces glare and make the sky a great color blue

Very helpful. Thanks. I just don't want to mess up with counterweights etc...

Hi Jimerb. Have you made any comparison between srp and polar pro at the nd16 cp?

 

[Indy_Mike]

I'm going to order the SRP P3 Series Graduated ND16-8 Filter and Neutral Density 8 Filter. Over the weekend I was watching Frederick Hagan YouTube channel. I like what he was showing using them. Plus he has great tutorial on color correction and color grading.

Hi Jimerb. Have you made any comparison between srp and polar pro at the nd16 cp?

I have a polar pro nd16 without polarization and the snake river nd16/cp (w polarization) and I like the snake river better. In fact I leave the snake river on my phantom about 85% of the time.

I've used the SRP ND/CP filters and now have the new polar pro cinema series ND/Pol filters. They are pretty close in quality to SRP, but still have to give the nod to SRP in terms of impact to final video image.
