A lot depends on the camera unit you got with your Phantom, the first one I had was bad, blurry, out of focus, just bad. After replacing it one of the first shots I took was published in National Geographic, so the camera can produce good enough images if you use the Phantom and the camera correctly. When shooting stills you don't want to use ND filters, they reduce light and that reduces your shutter speed, you don't want this. You want the highest shutter speed you can get because your camera is mounted on a shaky, vibrating mechanism. Camera shake is the number one cause of blurry photos so you need to get as high a shutter speed as you can on your phantom.
Next is processing, my feeling is you need pro tools to get pro images, I use Light Room 6 and process the DNG files very little. My typical setting for a shot...
Contrast +30
Highlights - pulled all the way down -100
Shadows - pulled allthe way up +100
Adjust white point until just before clipping(alt+slider until clipping appears then back off 10% or so, same with black point
I never add saturation or vibrance
Clarity +30
Noise reduction +26/27 never more than that
No adjusting colors or hues
Lens profile for Phantom selected, remove CA selected
Here is a sample shot...
