I would go with the filters, they make a heck of a difference.

Are you going to be shooting a lot of video? If so, filters could be handy. If you're only going to be shooting photos, then pick up another battery.

 

[texhornsaj]

Definitely videos. Not going to ski, just to relax and sight see. Maybe ride a snowmobile one day. Also get some nice footage lol

I think if you're picky about cinematic footage and all that stuff, then go for the filters. But if I had to choose I would go for the extra battery. I have three batteries and they go pretty quick when you're having fun. The filters are good but won't keep you in the air for another 27 minutes.

I would like the videos to be cinematic. I was leaning toward the filters. Any recommendations?

Any recommendations?

Do you mean filter-wise? If so, I have a list of commonly used Mavic filters here. The Freewell, TACO-RC, and PGYTECH brands are also nice.

My local Best Buy has some bower ones and polar pro (non vivid series). Any suggestions on those two

I've never tried the Bower Mavic filters. According to a reviewer here, they don't fit well.

Have you seen NISI msinger ?

NiSi Filter kit for DJI Mavic Pro (6 Pack) - NiSi Filters Australia

They have them for Mavic and P4.
NiSi Drone Filters Category - NiSi Filters Australia

They are quality multi coated along with their regular filters for other photography use.

This is their .com address and Worldwide distribution info.

Buy a battery and an ala carte ND32 filter from Polar Pro. You have to email them in order to buy individual filters.

Never heard of them. Thanks for the links!

I see they are sold here on Amazon too. The review there states the CPL filter is too thick. Did you experience that problem too?

No all good so far, you have to ensure they are pushed on fully (like all of them) or you will get interference with the gimbal.

I know it has been a while since this post was made, but I was wondering: how is everything working out with those NiSi Mavic filters? I'm the NiSi product manager here in the US, and we are having a slow go at getting feedback on them (probably because of that one Amazon review, in fact), and I don't have a Mavic here at the office to do any hands-on testing.
I'm also looking to see if Mavic Pro filters will work on the Mavic Air, if anyone happens to have both.
