For those concerned about the weight and bulk of premade filters on you GoPro and gimbal, here is great filter sheet that you can adapt (DIY). The sheet is flexible 6"x6" plastic material.

If you want sharp images glass filters are better. Plastic by its very nature will soften the image. Balancing a gimbal is not difficult really.

I was more concerned with wearing out the gimbal with the extra weight. I'll check out the quality difference as I have both glass & now the plastic.

Just to follow up. I fabricated a filter and it made little difference in the video, sans a little greenish color. I actually think the GoPro has pretty good coating from the factory. Net-net: I have a sheet of polarizing filter material.

Let us know how it turns out. I'm very interested in this

You correct, but the extra weight is just more wear and tear on those little motors

Not if it is balanced carefully My motors are under no strain at all.

Which one are you using on the GoPro?

 

[IrishSights]

A variable ND filter, its heavier than single factor ones but more versatile.

It's a little heavy, but otherwise ok.

How do I balance the gimbal?
