I got Neewers off of Amazon in the US. They're on the UK site as well. Mine have worked great.

what colour are they ? black or silver or brown ? also is it stopping the gimbal working when you start it up ?

I got the black kit - with UV, CPL, ND4, ND8 and ND16 - and then bought the ND 32 - also black but slightly different frame - separately. The US Amazon #s are B06WW7YW5G and B06XXYD13X which should be the same on your side of the pond. I just wish they made an ND64.

Yes. Put on the filter and then power up the Mavic. They pass gimbal calibration with no problem.

Polar Pro offers the 64 in both ND and ND-PL, for $29.99.

Yes, I saw those but was hoping for something more affordable. Trying to save up for my Inspire...

There's no need to rush -- I haven't yet used the 64, even once.

I find it at Amazon and ordered it hopefully its the same as yours and have no difficulty with gimbal .

I have the Neewer, they are cheap and serve the purpose.

Update:

I used the 64 ND-PL for the first time today, Feb 21, when "filming" the fabulous cloud formations over LA that persisted all day today.

I've forgotten the term for clouds that look like giant cotton balls, but that's how they appeared, and I wanted to avoid the highlights at the edges being washed out by the incoming sunlight.

Only times I have used my Polar Pro ND64 is flying on top of clouds or fog. The central valley fog in CA tops out about 200' below my house and when I fly over it the 64 is the only thing that slows the shutter to anywhere near 1/60.
