Mavic Mini Lens Filters need review

I wrote Tiffen and asked them yesterday if they had tested them for gimbal shake and I have not heard back yet.

Got this from Tiffen today... encouraging:

Christopher Geminski - Tiffen Company
"There has been no signs of stress to the gimble so far during our testing time. It is important that the filter is positioned correctly or else it could throw the gimble off. The filters are extremely light, coming in at .03oz (.85 grams) per filter."

The CPL I had from PYGTech was heavier. So perhaps Tiffen has done it right.

For all those doubters that say ND filters are ineffective on the Mini, here’s a couple of (nasty) screen shoots of my PC comparing Shutter speeds without and with ND16. Ignore the content and just check the data in subtitles

I’ve just got a set of Sunnylife filters, all 6 on the scales don’t even register. No gimbal errors indoors, will try this weekend
Got the same filters I guess... the glass in them is tiny. Not a real problem for the picture as it should not be vignetted but cleaning the inside of them is a real pain.

I'd like to see graduated filters... they should help balance the sky in horizon panoramic views.
