Im looking to purchase some ND and Pola filters for my Phantom 3, but really cant decide on either Polar Pro or SRP.

or

Im curious to hear if anyone has used either of these brands specifically and how the quality of the glass differs. Currently im leaning towards Polar Pro because of the significant weight differnece.  Im also partial to the screw on design vs the slip on style. Just seems like a better mounting option.

Any input of your experience using these filters, effects on the gimbal from the added weight, and overall quality in glass would be much appreciated. Thanks!

following..... I wanna know too.  

I bought a few SRP lenses. They work well and are made well. The only thing I don't like about them is that it takes a good bit of force to slide the lens on and off. I decided to go with them though since they have a graduated 16-8 filter. I heard Polar Pro is coming out with that lens too. It'll be interesting to see how they pull it off though since the lens must be rotated to an exact position.

Ended up going with the polar pro pack. Going to try them out and post my thoughts. Unfortunately now they aren't shipping till Aug 20th.

*However I did buy the Yaw item from Taco-RC. Super pumped to use that smart and simple accessory. Even when turning down the gain to the lowest setting I still feel like the Yaw is too fast. I'm hoping this is the answer. So thanks!

I got the Polar Pro 6 pack and have been happy with it so far.

Polar Pro!

I received my Polar Pro Pack today but can't unscrew the front of the P3P lens - it appears to be fixed. I have tried the same on a friend of mines P3P and it's the same. What' the secret to unscrew it???

No, but they are tight. First of all have firm grip of the camera so you not put force or pressure on the gimbal. Try to hold the camera in different angels when you try to unscrew the lens. If you press to much pressure with your fingers then it will not lose either. Yes, it a little tricky

I had the PolarPro filter for the Gopro when using my P2 but didn't think it worked well. The image would be washed out unless the frame had the sun directly in it. For my P3 filter, I decided to try Phantom Filters. It's a Danish company which makes ND and polarization filters that fit between the existing lens cover and lens and weigh less than .2 grams. I've been very happy with the product.

I bought the Danish filters but find I can't get them clean and so have ended up with s near using the ND2 and ND4.  :-(

I have the Taco and Polar Pro and a couple of the SRP filters, all latest versions. I like the PP filters best so far because of the CP is included in the 6 pack. For me that matters. The SRP are nice but sometimes difficult to install on my P3A and I get a slight vignette and they are much heavier and even though I did not do it, they really need to be balanced on the gimbal, some offsetting weights are needed. The SRP are push on with an o-ring inside and go on over the UV filter. The PP and Taco screw on to the front of the camera after removing the DJI UV filter. Any or all of them will work, it comes down to preferences. I like the CP effect so the PP works for me and also they coatings seem better to me.

That will happen if you do not push the filters on the whole way.

Polar Pro.

I see you're using the Polar Pro filters. How difficult was it to unscrew the end of the lens on the P3P ?
I can't budge mine or 2 other P3P's I have tried

It was a little tight at first.  I got a good grip on the camera and used a rubber jar lid remover to twist the filter off.  After I got the stock filter off I lubed the threads with a tiny bit of silicone lube and no problem removing on installing thereafter.

I took a rubber inner tube cut a nice chunk off of it and used that.  Just give it steady pressure without squeezing too hard and it will give.

Thanks for the tips. I ended up using a wide rubber band wrapped around the filter used light finger pressure and it unscrewed easily.

Love my Polar Pros. In interest of full disclosure, the first set they sent me had some type of glue on the glass. One email to them and I had a new set shipped to me ASAP.  Excellent customer service!

A vote for the Taco-RC set - come in a nice zipped case too
