I need some good advice.I read here and there about filters ND and polarized.Not everyone agreed about the need fo them.
I understand the nd have a real helpful contribution, about shutter spoeed, and the contrast contribution, especially on panorama video shoot.
I have doubt how does it work with the polarized ones.I mean, the drawback of to take it 90° to the sunlight line, during camera playing, it's not so easy.
Yes I know, but sometimes on utube, few mavic users, wrote that the same result could be achieved on post processing lika as Devinci.I
Think when you wear polarizing sun glasses, the colours become more intense they eliminate reflections on glass and water. you just have to keep the sun behind the drone camera
.see her for example.

Do you think it's out of realilty?
Well done, full explanatory wrote.Yes and no. You can certainly fake a CP's boost to colour saturation and tone, but there's no way of removing reflections in the same way that a CP does.
The main two are that a CP will let you bring "sparklies" on water and other translucent surfaces (e.g. glass) under control, without a CP they're probably just blown highlights. They'll also let you see through reflections to whatever is behind, e.g. a river bed or someone sitting behind a window, which can't be done in post either unless you are going to try and blend in a completely separate image. There's also the "getting it right in camera" angle, of course.
Really it depends on the subject and what you are trying to achieve; for a simple colour boost on skies, then you might be able to do that easier in post by playing around with contrast and saturation. For reflection control, a CP is almost certainly the way to go, despite the limitations of not being able to adjust it in-flight.
HI all, just purchased some ND filters.
Considering all the stuff learned here, I choosed some polar cs shutter, instead of polarized ones.
Do you think is a good choice to start with ?
Good Light.
Yes indeed, I am not ready to take the flight keeping in mind the right angle needed for the perfect sun line, instead of, firstly, to get a good shutter time, based to the good aperture diafram..no F11 at all, you knowIf you're not familiar with the limitations of polarizers and drones (e.g. not being able to adjust and having to be mindful of shooting angles), then yeah - good choice! PolarPro is definitely one of the better brands out there and will hopefully serve you well, and you can always add the polarized ones once you figure out which of the NDs you are using the most.
Hope you have some good flying to go with your light!
