When I use a CPL on my camera outside I typically frame my shot and then rotate the CPL while I am looking through the finder until I get my desired result. Simple. I just bought a Freewell CPL for my Air 3. I tested it today and it works fine but setting it might be a bit of a challenge. For my test I just looked through the CPL at the scene I was going to shoot with the drone and rotated the CPL to the spot I wanted and put it on the drone and did the shot.

This worked OK but I was wondering is this the typical way folks use the CPL on the drone? It would be a bit cumbersome to to hold the drone up and rotate the CPL while I look at the display on the remote to get the correct setting.

What do you folks do to set your CPL?

Polarising filters are more trouble than they are worth for use with drones.
Most folks that use them are unaware of how to use them properly.
