I have original DJI ND filter.
It is a good filter but it interferece with parking process and rotate 270 degree around to park the gimbal.

So I got some silm ND filter.



There are few of the same slim design filters but I got BRDRC filter.



It is mere 0.1mm slimmer than DJI original filter but it has slanted side.




It barely passes parking process.




I tested putting 1 single sheet of A4 paper in between and parking process passed.
But putting 2 sheets of A4 paper in between made parking process stop and rotate around.

So there is mere single paper margin for this silm ND filter.
It is very convenient just leave ND filter and able to park the gimbal.

(I think DJI missed an opportunity to make their filter 0.1mm thinner for this convenience feature)


I didn't go for the VND ones because I suspect that rotating ring would interfere.

How's the quality of the BRDC filter?

I need to do some proper comparison,
but ND strength is equal to DJI filters and not immediately visible color casting.

DJI filter has reflective coating and image look crisp clear.
BRDRC might have a tiny bit of cooler side.

Thats good to know,    I see some bad reviews on the BRDC one with dust being stuck in there,  but I assume they would replace it if that happened.

Lucky this time, mine have no dust in it.

Is that my imagination or is the BRDRC looking better?

I've ordered 4 NDPLs and I'm happy with it! Don't see any difference with any other brand except that these ones are at 1/4 of price of other brands!

Cheers,  I actually wasnt aware there was an official store.  

Now that is tight.
The P2 does just rotate outside when it detects any filter (on shutdown).
