You can find a lot of reviews for these filters here on Amazon.

I just bought Leakoteck filters from Amazon. There are 6, 4,8 and 16, and polarized versions for a total of 6. I wasn't happy when
I got them because I wanted the ones made by DJI. But they work ok and are very small and light. You can calibrate gimbal
with them on. They came with no instructions and I don't know the directions of the polarized ones. Steve

I have the 8 piece Neewer filters. I have only had my MPP for a week, and have only tried out the nd8 and nd16, which both fitted well (they have a little felt like ring inside the frame to grip the lens).

They didn't affect the gimbal operation and seem of reasonable optical quality, although I have not done any extensive tests yet due to gales & lack of flying time.

I bought them as a cheap test alternative to Polarpro, as I wasn't sure about spending big money on an expensive set when I didn't know which densities I would need. Now I know that an nd16 is a must have and nd32 could be useful. It's very sunny here and our limestone rock formations are a pale grey which overexposes very easily.

BTW, the polarised ones do work, but I think that I would only put them on for photos, not video due to the issues they have with changing light tones when doing panning shots.

Hope that this helps.

I shot this with an nd16 and not very good video settings. No post editing.

I bought DJI Filter Set but people are buying cheaper sets online; Australia has very high UV and I’m using the ND 4 today but had used the ND 8 previously and found it was perhaps too dark for early morning or late afternoon; what is for sure, is the ND filters cut the UV and my pictures are much sharper/defined and no more overexposure or whiteout of the sky or white objects like boats in the water that appeared overexposed previously.

I would go for the offer with nd32.
You will use that on bright days.

Later you could get a CLUV and CLPL if you wanted.

My set doesn’t have an nd4, really a don’t think I’d use it.
The CUV and CPL both are about 1.5 stops anyway.

The nd I have are 8, 16, 32, and 64.
Haven’t used the 64 yet, but expect come Jan / Feb it will be on a bit.
