Man, I thought the MP was great but this thing just moves wonderfully through the sky. The only thing I hate is the way ND filters have to be put on and taken off. It took me like 10 min to change the filter.

It doesn't take me 10 minutes, but it always worries me that I'm going to damage the gimbal.

I bought a little tool to do it and getting it off is no problem but placing them on is scary in that I don't want to break the Gimbal but also that the **** things are so hard to get in.
 
Im going to run it through my supervisor as well to see if he can find out if this is coming down the chain from DOE or is it coming from some Statutory law that went into effect. Believe me, I first thought my super was playing a joke on me because we use Kespersky and DJI products.
Just a guess- your posting in the wrong thread.... Assuming you are talking about the old news and DJI privacy/security concerns?
 
I agree that the M2P is an excellent flier.
Rock steady, powerful and with plenty of range and flight time. Plus- Very quiet!!
I don't mess with filters, so no comment there. I shoot 99% stills, so no need for filters.

Remember you gotta push the filter in before you twist, both on the removal and the install process :P

A big "AMEN!" on that, SAR but after multiple filter changes, I THINK I finally have it down to just a few seconds and I'm no longer worrying about the gimbal. (Of course, the PolarPro tool and a pair of Nitrile gloves help.) :-)

That depends. If you want to keep the aperture in the sweet spot of f5.6 or below you may well do or for other situations (water movement for example) filters are very useful for stills photography.
