Do a search for Mavic Pro Filter and you will get a lot of information. Generally: ND4 for low light (sunrise/set), ND8 for cloudy days, ND18 for sunny days, ND32 or 64 for bright snow or sand. Polarizing filters are fully effective only if you have them oriented correctly to the sun. It is generally recommended to use non-polarizing filters for video since the sun angle will change as you pan making items like the sky lighten and darken as you pan. This makes it more difficult to maintain a constant sky in an edited video.

W... any suggestion on brand?

I have PolarPro. More expensive but they can be left on without causing any gimbal problems. There are other less expensive brands that may be as good or better but I have no experience with those.

I have a set of Neewer filters
They work fine with no problems with the gimbal.

Find i use the 32 most of the time in the bright sun here
