Neewer ND Filters overload gimbal

ShonnyRotten · Apr 18, 2018

Hello,

I purchased this ND filters, by Neewer.

Neewer 4pcs Filter Kit ND4 ND8 ND16 ND32 for DJI Mavic Pro Drone Quadcopter 689551202042 | eBay

When putting them on ,

first of all, they are very hard to put on.
and Second of all, after puting them on i got GIMBAL OVERLOADED message.

I knew that neewer is a pretty decent brand, but since this was for 11$, ii think its a cheap rip off?

That is possible that they are knock off. I bought the same set from newegg for around $30 a few months back. I agree they are hard to install initially but over time it becomes easy. So far I havent experienced gimbal overload. The nd 16 is permanently installed.

I did experience a lot of inflight gimbal reset in my last flight a month ago but it was very windy as well so I think it was due to the wind. Weather isn’t cooperating to do another test.

I purchased the same ones paid quite a bit more and mine are fine and every you tube review etc gave them thumbs up so maybe you got a dodgy / copy parts ?

to be honest, i was in a bit of a hurry, so i was putting it on without gimbal climp on. and when turning it on got gimbal overload, i gave up. Will try now, with climp on. will see if it works

never ever put on a filter without it

No gimbal overloading this time. Probably it was my fault trying to put it without clamp on.
Thanks!

I have a set of Neewer filters. They work fine and give no problems. Always use the gimbal clamp when fitting.

Yeah gimbal clamp on every time,I would have thought I got ND8 not tried it yet, but that’s the way I would do it, very sensitive these gimbals...... I started my bird wit gimbal clamp on till I realised what I had done and took it off quick and I think I should have powered the bird down and on again because when I flew it, it was as if it had a mind of its own, it flew off on its own lucky enough it responded to my land command.
