After returning the Variable ND filters from PGYTech, I'm trying to do a bit more research.
Since some people stated these filters were good (on youtube), I'm not too fond of trying to find reviews there again.
So I'm giving it a go here.

This time I'm looking for fixed ND filters. I don't need PL right now and I would like to get at least 8-16-32-64

Quite a bit of sets out there, but I'm curious which ones you 'guys' like!

Thanks.
I have had bad experiences with ND filters that got good reviews, so I'd like to hear from first hand 'real' users.

Pick polarpro filters or freewell is the right budget option. I used to have freewell’s 10 stops ND filter, the image quality is really good, but I lost it.

Hello there Montfrooij. I am sorry for the trouble this has caused and thank you for reaching out. You may try checking the DJI Osmo Pocket ND Filters Set ( https://store.dji.com/product/osmo-pocket-nd-filters-set ) found on our DJI online store. This ND Filters Set is made specifically for the DJI Osmo Pocket and for the DJI Pocket 2, this set includes ND4, ND8, ND16, and ND32 Filters, allowing 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, and 1/32 of incoming light through respectively, equal to 2/3/4/5-stop filters. These high-quality ND filters reduce the amount of light coming into the sensor, giving you more control of the camera's aperture, exposure time, and sensor sensitivity settings. A magnetic design makes it easy to switch ND filters. Thank you.

Yeah, I'm looking into the ND1000 too from Freewell.
Why did you lose it?

It's lacking a ND64 unfortunately, which I would like to have for brighter days.

Can't find the polar pro cinema series collection here in NL...
But I will keep looking.
shipping from polarpro is quite expensive. $ 40,-

I was deciding between PolarPro and DJI before. Went with Polarpro because some of the reviews I read mentioned it does not scratch the pocket 2 lens and that it has stronger magnet. Re: stronger magnet, testing it vs Freewell ND 1000, Night Pollution filter (have not used this to record though) and DJI Wide Angle, seemed like Polarpro does have a stronger magnet. It does not fall off that easily, even with my lens protector (yeah, will be removing it when I go out hehe).
Edit: I got the Polarpro standard pack.

Thanks. I'm thinking about the PP standard pack too.
But the cinema collection also seems tempting.

While it’s magnetic, when you detach from the camera, it’s easy to drop it. The filter size is a bit smaller to camera part, I dropped it into ocean accidentally.

You may try checking our DJI Where To Buy platform on this link ( https://www.dji.com/where-to-buy ) to see if ND Filters that you need is available for the DJI Pocket 2. In addition I hope that you can get some recommendations from our DJI members with regards to this inquiry as well. Thank you.

For sure, it in not enough ND 32 for bright days. It says +1.3EV or +0.7 EV for ISO100 and 1/120 shutter.
I think it more prefered that ND4, so it is better to have ND64.
So for midday I'm using mostly ND32.Quality of DJI ND filters set is good. No issue with them.

Exactly.
I think ND64 is a 'must have' for bright days.
I probably can live without ND4, but I'm not 100% sure.

Haven't got no experience from other filter sets, but my PolarPro Standard series seems to work well enough. Has a good range (polarizer + five ND filters) for a relatively inexpensive price, and as said before, the magnets seem to hold them well on its place and, so far, haven't noticed any scratches on the Pocket 2 lens.

Though I have to say I still am quite inexperienced with the filters, still learning how to get the maximum advantage on them.

I'm not sure, seems like they are advertised as Osmo Pocket filters on amazon and not Pocket 2.

As far as I have understood, they were originally designed for the first Osmo Pocket. However, PolarPro website mentions them also to be compatible with Pocket 2, and when I have used them myself, I haven't noticed any kind of vignetting or other noticeable problems.

I have also the "PolarPro Standard Filter 6er Pack set" and they are great. Mostly I use the 16 and 32 on sunny days. If you have snow and a sunny day then i use 64. But it also depends on wich shutter speed you are filming.

try freewell anamorphic and or wide angle ND filters, Anamorphic is a great experience and their wide angle is really good with minimum vignetting and a very small package 8,16,32,64.   https://www.freewellgear.com/dji-osmo-pocket-filters-and-dji-osmo-pocket-accessories/738-dji-pocket-2-osmo-pocket-wide-angle-anamorphic-lens.html

Those look great too.
I will start with regular ND's first as my goal is too keep the total package as small as possible. But when i'm going to use the P2 more for video, I will def. take a look!
