Hi! I just bought these filters, and didn't find any review of them on the spark, so here's a quick review I made today:

Have you tried to attach the filter upside down to your try?
It might be, they get attached from the bottom side?
Easier to get it onto the cam, I think

It's not possible to attach them the other way/upside down

Thats a pitty then! The gimble will always "overload", as soon you use trypodmode an try to shoot + angles

Well, technically you can in some way fit them upside down, but they won't snap into place, and once they are "in place" the camera has even less movement.

Yep, but only to the -85, I think
Which you control entirely by urself
The + in Sportsmode however......
Anyway, if they dont snap, it is certain, they arent made for that setup.
And also not really made for the "top" attaching either.

Strange to see this design flaw if you design something for a specific purpose.

Indeed! It just proves that Sandmarc just skipped the quality assurance test completely

I have the Sunnylife ones, same thing happens.
I reckon any of them where a clip goes over the top, will clash with the gimbal arm.
I can't remember the brand, but I remember seeing a filter with a metal clip? that looked thinner so might fit between gimbal and gimbal arm?
I also remember seeing another filter where you stick on a piece of plastic above and below the camera lense for the filters to attach to? Wonder if the weight overloads the gimbal?

The Polarpro ones work like a charm, I have had 0 problems with them.

The video demonstrates the filters well. But please notice that the third party accessories are not tested. If may have an influence on the stability of the gimbal.

Perfect thanks.
So the clip is thin enough to slide between gimbal and gimbal arm?
