Hi.

Looking to get some PGYTech ND filters for the Mavic Air.

Now for the experienced ones, should I get the kit with 4x ND + 1x UV + 1x CPL or the one with 4x ND-PL?

I'm into photography, so I understand pretty well the diferences between each type of filters.

But in pratical terms and since I can use only one of this filters each time, I'm thinking that the UV and CPL filter might actually get forgotten in the box...
Is it wise to go for the polarized ones?

Thanks.

I had more issues than benefits from using polarfilters with my spark, so I will not buy polar filters for my MA but only ND-Filters.

forget polarisers unless recording in straight lines over reflective surfaces and you want to spend more time lining up the polarisation than getting the drone in the air. I'd get the shutter ND's.

Oh, I get it...

Not being able to maintain at all time those 90 degrees with sun rays might ruin the footage with some funky effects.

Makes perfectly sense. I'll go for the ND then.

Thank you.
