Which Polarized ND Filter should I get? Are they all created equal?

I bought neewer nd pl filter and they passed gimbal calibration. I also have polar pro nd shutter collection for daily use. I prefer neewer pl 'cause i don't plan to use pl filter so often... and for 18€ i decided to buy theme...

These are the filters: Neewer Kit di 3 Filtri per Drone Quadricottero DJI Mavic Pro, Inclusi: Filtro ND4/PL, ND8/PL & ND16/PL, in Vetro Ottico Multi-rivestito con Telaio in Lega di Alluminio (Argento): Amazon.it: Cancelleria e prodotti per ufficio

I have the neewer 5 lens set. I only have used the nd16 so far. Great results. No gimbal issues. Goes on/off easy when using OEM gimbal clamp.

These had a 50% off code the other day - I snagged a ND 32 PL for $9.99. Might check and see if there is a code still out there...

I bought these Neewer ones: Neewer 3 Pieces Filter Kit for DJI Mavic Pro Drone Quadcopter Includes: ND4/PL, ND8/PL and ND16/PL Lens Filters, Made of Optical Glass, Multi Coated, Aluminum Alloy Frame (Gold): Amazon.ca: Home & Kitchen

Didn't fit properly, and couldn't be left on during calibration. Returned them right away.

I've since tried the PGY ones, and was quite happy with them. The only issues were: (1) there were no combined ND and CPL filters, and (2) there was no ND32 filter. Ended up getting the PolarPro ones as they don't have these problems. They are much more expensive though.

These filters have some kind of soft sticker that sometimes protrudes and prevent lens frame touch gimbal properly... once this thing is fixed, they work like a charm

I just ordered a couple of the PGY filters, including an ND32, here (Hooshion is the seller, not the brand. It's a PGY filter): Amazon.com: Hooshion 1 Pack RC Quadcopter Lens Filter Accessories ND 32 ND32 HD Filter Set for DJI MAVIC Pro Camera Lens Circular Polarizer Neutral Density Filters Parts (G-HD ND32): Automotive

Even bought individually the PGY filters come with a case that holds five filters.

I've been very happy with all the PGY accessories I've bought.

Is is possible for you to give a little more detail about it?
What has to be corrected I mean.
Thank you.

I have the PGY TECH polarized filter. It works great and just cost me $17. I also have the DJI set of ND filters which work great.

Thanks, I will look into it.

BTW - Here's that code and a link. 50% off. It's as light as the PolarPro, same retaining system. In fact I'd be looking at them if I was PolarPro

Taco filters are pretty good for me so far.

 

[Brojon]

De nada.

Polar Pro definitely seems to be the fan favourite:
DJI Mavic Filters - Cinema Series 6-Pack
But if you looking to save a few bucks this is another decent looking option:
