"Mavic 4 pro filters are expected to be shipped in mid-June. Now they are at molding process, which takes time."

I saw a youtube video on the M4P and had he had been sent the freewell filters for testing. I guess they are not far away. His allday pack had split strength ND/PL. Freewells home page shows a split strength ND/PL on the home screen but when you open up the product page it only shows one strength ND/PL. You might want to check what they are going to send you.

Thanks for the heads up. Cheers

DJI needs to figure out how to pull together a mock gimbal they can send out to a few select key accessories makers under NDA ahead of time so these can be ready at launch.

DJI had planned for their eND filter to be ready for release with the Mavic 4 Pro launch. Unfortunately, it wasn't, and might never be. A few exist in the wild, but color shifts apparently abound while using it. An eND is far more efficient than having to land and swap filters every time the lighting changes, and who would buy manual filters costing as much, if an eND was available? Hence the problem.

For any drone, not just the new tech eND. Every drone launch they need to take a page from Apple and other manufacturers who do this. DJI products are already highly leaked and there's basically no competition; not sure what they stand to lose. If the eND is going to be super expensive and some people prefer to pay a lot less and get the one cool filter of their choice (starburst) and the gimbal allows it......the filters for the Mini 5 Pro should be "in the works" already; not after launch.

As posted above I purchased the Freewell filters as I suspect that it is going to be some time before we see the eND filters if ever. The price of DJI accessories have increased to the point of where you have to think twice about purchasing a accessory. If the eND is released at some point I will decide about buying them after many reviews are posted and especially reviews from non-sponsored reviewers. The current DJI twist on filters are USD $149.00 so I'm thinking the eND filters will be at least $350.00 to $500.00 USD. I can afford to pay that amount of money but at some point I think the prices are becoming unaffordable for a lot of drone owners. As a Canadain I have to pay a 38% exchange rate so it's expensive when you add the exchange rate, plus 12% in federal and provincial taxes.
