Where to buy Polar Pro Cinema Series filters in the UK

Fonejacker · Jan 19, 2017

From what I see online, it looks like the Polar Pro cinema series filters are some of the best filters you can buy for the Mavic Pro however does anyone know where you can purchase them in the UK?

I'm still yet to receive my Mav however I'm just preparing for when it does arrive.

How about from the Polar Pro website... PolarPro | GoPro Filters - GoPro Accessories - DJI Filters

I just made a test purchase on their site and they ship worldwide.

Best best is from our Website right now, we are pretty constrained on inventory so have not been able to push them to our dealer network yet. Shipping to the UK is very quick and not too expensive.
Let me know if you have any questions on them!

Hi Jeff

I ordered the cinema series 6 pack direct from your website to deliver to the UK on the 16th of February. Do you think there is chance they will arrive before March 22nd? Is that likely?

I would say highly likely mine arrived door to door to UK in 4 working days & that was on the cheaper shipping option

That's good to hear! When did you order them? On their website they say that orders are back logged and wont begin shipping until the 8th of March. I have no idea whereabouts I am on that list or how many orders they need to fulfil before me?

Do these stop the gimbal calibrating when they are left on? Or do they have to be removed 1st?

Import taxes are a normal part of any international shipment, so if you're ordering directly from our site then you would encounter these. To avoid that we'd recommend purchasing from a local retailer. There is a store locator on our site if you're not sure where the nearest location is: PolarPro Retailer Locator. Hobby Mounts is one of them, as scooot mentioned.

I wouldn't call this avoiding import taxes, as the price jumps from $100(£70) to £100.
While I'm calling annoyances out, it's super annoying that I only want the 16ND/PL and 32ND/PL but that the only option to get those is to spend £180. I understand that you've structured your packages in this way / don't sell individual ND lenses to maximise profit but it's a bit off-putting from a realistic consumer's POV. It's a shame since I've used your filters on all of my DSLR lenses but your pricing has left me no choice but to investigate other quality brands. Just some honest feedback for you.

I bought a pack of 6 Neewer filters. New to t he Mavic but they seem to work fine. Only used the strongest to date as sky cloudless with bright sun on sand and sea.

That's near enough my exact scenario, living in the tropics. I'll be purchasing some filters in preparation for a beach wedding on an island. I'll investigate the Neewer filters. A brief look on Amazon found only a 4 pack which goes up to ND16. Ideally I'll have both 16 and 32 either individually or as a pack.

Current winner: Freewell DJI Mavic Air Filters - Bright Day - 4Pack ND8/PL ,ND16/PL ,ND32/PL ,ND64/PL ($70/£50 – £130 saving over PolarPro).

Also considering the official DJI Filters (4, 8, 16) along with the 32 and 64 offered by FS-Labs. Yes, I don't need the 4 and 8 but combined this comes to $80(£56), saving me about £125. Food for thought...
