Mavic lens filters SunnyLife any good ?

Obecny · Jun 12, 2017

Did anyone tried them ? 27GBP for set of 6 filters seems to be very good price!
or any other recommendations in lower price range! (I know you will say polar pro but is this really worth the difference in the price?)

Not heard anything about he sunny life ones but the old saying goes 'you get what you pay for'

I'm holding out for the polar pro cinema series myself, just waiting for a good deal on them.

? It's not like such a high quality, high demand product is going to get a price cut anytime soon.

Agree with wez130, you definitely get what you paid for. You have a high end drone, why risk optical quality with a bargain brand filter?
Live a little and go for the PolarPro.

I have the OPs filters; the only one I tested was the CPL and the pictures and videos came out great. They seem well built and fit perfectly.

Zackly! I bought some off eBay and they would cause gimbal errors on boot up. There was a spot where the camera would scrape against the gimbal arm while going thru it's initial start up. If I wanted to use these filters I would have to wait for the MP to boot up before I put the filter on.

A royal PITA, if u ask me. I ended up buying the Polar Pro vivid collection.

Am happy with them.

Reminds me of my dads old saying when it came to quality.
As a kid I would go tool shopping with him. I would always point out what I thought were a good because they were a "bargain set" that were ridiculously cheap thinking I was helping.
"Son, I can't afford to buy the cheap set"
He then explained that even if they are half as much as the good ones. He would end up buying 3 sets of the el'cheapo ones in the lifetime of the good set.

You need to do some careful background research before buying less expensive items.

Its easy to throw cash at a purchase.

I don't know anyone who regretted buying quality...

We have these: Amazon.com: DJI Mavic Pro Multicoated Neutral Density, Circular Polarizer Lens Filter (4 Pack): Camera & Photo multicoated lens, ND and CPL, guaranteed to work with the startup routine.

I have a 5-filter set from Amazon. They work fine. It made test pictures with all of them. The truth is, I cannot say there is a significant noticeable difference that justify the cost and hassle of the filters.

superswaz · Jun 16, 2017

Theres a review on youtune by dronevalley and seems to think these are pretty good! Ordered mine and waiting for them...

HUP55 · Jun 27, 2017

I have these exact same filters, I bought them after watching the review on drone valley. Doesn't interfere at all with the gimbal. Also price was great. I paid $35 Canadian on Amazon.
