Tricky one, those gels looks nice and light, but one of the attractions of the Phantom 3s is the quality of the camera and sticking a piece of dark plastic over the lens will cut out the light but I imagine would have a significant effect on image quality. It also looks like it wouldn't be long before they get scratches and folds. On the other hand, a glass filter looks like it may be too heavy and effect the gimbal.
How about a software solution? has anybody tried using Adobe After Effects to introduce some movement blur to a scene with faster shutter speed?

The whole point was to get a UV filter just to protect the lens . A member sent me the Snake River filter and if you looked at the video
you see it did cause an issue. I did fix that and sure you can correct anything in Adobe After Effects if you have it .
I had rather scratch a UV filter or other one than the lens glass .

Any advances on this front? I just gave my brother a P3S for his birthday and suggested a filter set (he lives in Texas, and the brutal sun there will demand at least a CP down the line), but ran into the same difficulties posted here. No lightweight slip-on filters for the P3S yet?

did anyone ever try these?I wondered where I had saw those and was on this page Clunk
I have those and they work great. i dont know about anyone else, but i wouldnt be able to tell the difference on a video between a glass or gel filter.
I went with them instead of the polar pros cuz its lighter and the fact that i can use the precise number of stops on the filter I need (after doubling shutter speed depending on the frames per second im using).
On the polar pro ones, the circular polarizer/nd4 are kind of useless in my opinion. There havent been any reported problems with the weight on the gimbal, but to me, adding unnecessary strain on the gimbal seemed like a bad idea.
anyway, enjoy the filters, theyll make a huge difference!!!

I have Dave's. Both the the original and new version. They work fine for me. A real improvement of the video lighting range. They are light weight. I notice no effect on the gimbal. Also, I converted one of the plastic rings to a lens cover by gluing some card stock on the inside. It slips on the lens and stays put when my P3 is in transit.
