That is a good point. Tilt-rotors can help get a lower-drag orientation, and result in more efficient flight. I suspect that for such high-speed applications adding wings makes sense as well, a but like the Osprey, or the drone that Amazon showed off two years ago. The advantage is likely only...

Thrust-vectoring It looks cool, but once the novelty wears off I do wonder what useful property gets better as a result of that... So, not for me in a Mavic Pro v2. Tilting the motors adds mechanical complication and weight while not improving any flying characteristics. If we want to look...

I have a 5-filter set from Amazon. They work fine. It made test pictures with all of them. The truth is, I cannot say there is a significant noticeable difference that justify the cost and hassle of the filters.
