Which Phantom 3 Professional filter and polarizer?

Rouimi88 · Apr 26, 2016

Hey guys!
Just wondering if this is a good filter set. Also if it's good that each filter is polarized.
Other Neewer products have pretty good reviews.

I know polar pro is leading brand but it's a bit pricey for what you get in my opinion.

Let me know what you guys think!

I have the Neewer ND 16, decent quality and optics. I'm not sure of the quality of the PL ND's though. I have the Polar Pro PL1, ND4, ND8 set, the quality of these are fine but the ND4 is almost useless, the ND 8 is good on partly cloudy days.

One needs ND 4, 8, 16 and 32 depending upon the light conditions. Most commonly used are ND 8 and ND 16.

There are many brands available in the market. All have their types. People have been using them and all are equally good or bad. I have not seen any optical quality data anywhere. I don't know how much it matters.

You listed most of the popular brands, and different #'s have different effects on your videos & pics. #8 & #16 seems to be used often by flyers. I found in the classifieds that college geezer is selling filters for $2. I'll get a few and see how my videos/pics turn out.

What's good about this set is that they include all 4 densities.
I'm just wondering if it's an advantage to have them polarized as well.
I think they should be good quality since they are made of glass just like those of poor pro.
$50 for a set of 4 vs $70 for a set of 3 where one is only a.polorizer and one is nd4 which is rarely used.
See what I mean?

I bought the DJI brand filters ND4, 8, and 16 from micro center for 29 bucks each. I pretty much fly on nice and sunny very blue sky days and I only use the ND 16 filters with a custom white balance set to 5000k. Gives a nice cinematic vivid look to my videos. Give it a try!
