I am just getting used to my Mini 2. I bought a Freewell polarizer. It is a clip on style and weighs almost nothing. I could not even get it to register on a gram scale. However, when I put this on the Mini 2, it won't pass the start up calibration and the camera just hangs down. Has anyone else experienced this? I never had any issues with M Pro or Pro 2 with filters which are much larger (well, so is the camera).
Suggestions are welcome.
 
Not personally but I did wonder if the extra weight of fitting a filter on the camera gimbal would affect it at startup. Most don't seem to have an issue with it so maybe worth double checking it's installed correctly. Other than that I have no idea but maybe someone on here will know better.
 
That was my first thought. Wondering if others have experienced this, too?
I double, triple checked the install and it seems to be correct. Thank you for your idea.

With the drone off, and the filter attached, can you move the camera all around without anything catching, sticking?
 
I have the Skyreat NP/PL filter set and it works great. Make sure you have the filter mounted correctly and fully seated.

Problem with the filter itself possibly?. Could try the retailer if it's a recent purchase,they may have an idea or let you replace the thing.
 
I bought it from B & H. They may take it back, but I really wanted if for a European vacation leaving too soon to wait for a replacement. Thank you for your idea.
