Buying is the easy part.
I wanted to get an ND1000 and ND2000 filter for my Mini 3 Pro. But they were already half the price of the complete package.
So guess what I bought.....
Even though I don't use the 'less dense' versions often, I figured, this will be my drone for a long time (I hope at least) and maybe I can find some usecases (flying fast and low) where they can come in handy.

Now I just have to find a way to fit it in my case and find time + good weather to fly....

Thanks Rich.
I have a Freewell for my Pocket 2 and I like it a lot, so I hope to find out soon how these are.

And I buy the cheapest filters, although I have several Freewell ) I don’t notice the difference.

I have had very bad results with some cheaper filters. Mainly color shift and vignetting.

It's hard to imagine that there will be vignetting with ND filters. It may be if you used VND because they consist of two polarized filters and there will be cross-shaped vignetting, but this is the case for everyone and you should not use them. In general, you should not use PL filters on a drone.
Color shift may only be noticeable on high density filters ND 256 and higher, but is usually easily corrected in the editor. Modern, even cheap filters use a good coating that does not cause noticeable color distortion. And if you then do color grading in the editor anyway, then the difference between cheap and expensive filters is not noticeable at all. But that's just my opinion)
I have a Freewell, but when I shoot a video, I first use the filter that I first took out of my bag and most often it’s a cheap Chinese one)

It was a VND for sure and I returned it immediately.

They really are a quality product and seem to be very durable.

I tried some cheap knock-offs on my original Mini but they weren't made well and didn't fit so well either.  I liked Polar Pro but they are too expensive so I stumbled onto Freewell and have been buying and using them every since.

Same here actually.
Although I still have a PP pack for my P2.

Just finished putting the final coat on the sills.
It smells horrible in there now, but it should be very long lasting.

I bet you are happy to get the final coat on the sills.  Now just have to wait out the drying period.  

Where possible I used to always use Non VOC paints as they tend to be odorless and are more environmentally friendly.

Congrats, that is an extensive set. I have the set just below that and so far has met my needs. Freewell filters are excellent quality.

Thanks. Yeah, I first wanted to go for that one, but I was mainly looking for the 1000 and the 2000, so that did not 'cut' it

In reality, out of this entire set, only one ND64 is needed for the video)

I think I'll need the denser ones most often because I want to experiment with hyperlapses.

For regular video I think these will be used the most indeed.
But my main reason to get them is for hyperlapses and longer exposures I want for those.
(I hope that will work out )

Nope. Bad weather + no time. 2x a no - go.
Today it's good weather, but no time, so still a no go.

Very good to know.  Okay, I just did a google and found out that 41 different cameras have built in ND filters.
