When I bought an entire computer just to edit my drone footage, I knew I was all in with this hobby!

How are Sandmarc ND/PL filters compare to Polar Pro ND/ PL filters(Cenimatic series)? I am asking this coz there is a $50 price difference between the two.

Thanks for posting. What are your thoughts on the different brands of ND filters? U hear allot about how hard they are too put on, and not heard many compare image quality. Which is better image quality and easy of use? Do you prefer one if you had to buy over again?
Thank you
Yep, I actually have sent the Sandmarcs back and have decided to stick with the $30 Neewer filters. I've found that they have basically the same build quality, the kit comes with every filter you could ever want and they were $70 cheaper. Now, the other thing to consider is that some of the filters are ND and Polarized which makes them more expensive. It also made them less "amateur worthy" in the sense that I found that I had to play with the settings to get decent footage. I'm not that adept. The basic filters seem to work better on auto settings for me. I normally use the ND4 filter and just leave it on. Literally.
I've had the Polar Pros, I basically bought every accessory Best Buy had when I picked up my drone. I returned them immediately because they were hard to install. I then went to the Neewers which work great! When I lost my first Mavic, I thought let's try the more expensive Sandmarc filters... Yea I ordered the missing/lost Neewer filter and sent the Sandmarcs back. I couldn't tell the difference in quality or ease of install. Heck, the cases are exactly the same. I did get the polarized version of the ND filters in the Sandmarcs so I'm guessing the standard ones would have been perfectly fine but $12 for the missing ND4 vs $80 for the non polarize Sandmarc kit, no brainer.
Great looking set up.... is the red stickers or painted? Do you think the DJI Goggles could fit into that case?
Stickers. Well, my Gear VR Goggles fit so if the DJI goggles are around the same size, yes they will.

I'm obviously not afraid to spend money but $500 for a screen plus the mount? I'll stick to the measly 6.2 inch super amoled screen on my S8+.
No problem! There's more to forums than arguments! Some of the time anyway... Hahaha!

Not just any screenSafe flying, @Lon Denard!
Oh I understand that it's a really nice screen but from what I can tell, by the time you're done, you've got approximately $600 wrapped up in a 5.5" screen that, again as far as I know, does nothing else.... Well, that just seems like a lot. For that kind of money, DJI could make a Go Pro Karma style accessory controller with the screen built in.
I held out on getting the leg extenders for awhile, but really glad I finally got them. Not expensive and work great!
Me too! Then I saw that I could leave them on in the bag... I immediately ordered them! If I had to install and remove them every flight, I still would have purchased them to have for certain situations but I would have avoided using them if possible. Since they fold up with the Mavic and fit back in the bag,WIN!
