polar pro filters

[Threshold]

Just a heads up to those who are considering buying filters for the mavic pro. Avoid buying the polar pro filters. They are designed to stay on for long periods of time and you have to put them on after gimbal initiation. So that means extra stress of removing the filter to the gimbal every time you need to power on the mavic. They DO NOT specify this on the box but rather INSIDE the manual. I bought mine at Best Buy and can't return them as it has been beyond 15 days of return.

I heard the new cinema series don't require the filters to be removed during gimbal initiation. I reached out to polar pro for a possible resolution and all they offered was a $10 discount if I sent in my old set. So with shipping all I was offered was ~$5 discount. I will be avoiding polar pro in the future.

A ten dollar discount on top of the price of returned filters or just ten dollars and you would be out of pocket for the filters you returned?

I also have the newer-generation Polar Pro ND filters (got 'em from Amazon, too), and the gimbal initializes just fine with them on.

Mine don't allow gimbal initiation unless I give the camera a little help at one point. Worth it to me but clearly not optimal. I probably have the pre-January version.

I own a few sets of the PolarPro filters. The gimbal is just fine when I put them on before powering on the Mavic. I did purchase mine after their first set was redesigned.

I have the Taco filters and they are great!

So do I. Good quality, very light weight and sturdy.
Nothing wrong during initiation.

Freewell filters work nice too...

and taking it off and putting them on is smooth and flawless...

$10 dollars off of a new priced item, and I would have to send in my current set of filters.

I guess moral of story is to avoid Best Buy stock. I'm glad everyone else has working filters, not so much for me.

I'm waiting to try out my DJI Filters.

I bought the first generation PolarPro filters. The ones you need to install after powering on the Mavic.
When the redesigned was out, I request to exchange my old filters they did without questioning.
And I live in Brazil.
The filters are great and the customer support was really effective

 

[J3ffrey]

Great, just realizing I bought the 6 pack in December, I sent them a nice, respectful note asking for exchange if needed... haven't even opened the box yet.

I guess i got pre January product as well... And its mid April. The manual says to calibrate gimble before placing filter

 

[thatguy0329]

What is this crap.. Some code

Agreed - have the full set and they mount perfectly with no initialization issues

I also purchased the first gen Polar pro filters that you would install after start up. I contacted Polar pro to return them and then found out about their newly released cinema series filters. They offered a trade up to the cinema filters for $10 and sent them to me before I returned the old ones. Polar Pro staff have been very accommodating and professional. The cinema filters fit well and do not require removing. I would not hesitate purchasing Polar Pro cinema filters again.

Mine I just purchased worked perfectly.
