Thank you very much for the order!
I think shipping the filters to Canada is about $12, most of the time we end up taking a loss on international shipping to make it easier for our international customers to get our products quickly.

Thanks again for supporting our brand,

I just want to say, I've never used filters before, but after seeing videos comparing filters vs no filters for other DJI products I realized its a must have to improve video quality. I was first put way off by the roughly $99 price (6-pack), especially considering I live down in South Africa (bad exchange rate and poor postal service means DHL is a must) means its super expensive for us down here [well for me at least ].

However in my opinion, it's the active engagement of the company which justifies the price to me. I feel very comfortable spending a lot of money on a company that I can see actually engages with its customers and properly backs up their product. Its the small things that actually seem to matter in the end.

Anyways, just thought I'd throw in my opinion. Polar Pro seem to be a great company from what i've seen, and the video's show that their product is equally as great. Feeling excited to recieve my filters when they arrive.

I purchased mine on Friday, postage to Ireland $14 great value, might arrive before my Mavic..

Ordered a 3 pack on Friday too and although its a pre-order, seems at least I know when shipping will start and that it will take a couple of weeks to reach the UK. Can't help but think the filters will arrive before the quadcopter.

What about Australia. Do you have any distributor there? Also are all filter polarised or only the PL one? Thanks

These look great. Where in Australia can I buy them?

Sphere Drones and Rise Above should have them Mid-December.
You can also order direct on our website, shipping to AU usually takes about 10 days with the standard method.

Let me know if you have any other questions and thank you very much for supporting our brand,

Polar Pro, are you guys shipping before or after Thanksgiving?

PolarPro Posted at 2016-11-2 23:50
Hi Danny,

The Mavic Filter 6-Pack is $99 the Mavic Filter 3-Pack is only $49.99.

This being said, what would you recommend for a mavic that will be used primarily in highly lit and reflective light area as I plan to mostly film over the water following our boat and around the islands out in the bright sun?

We are running at 100% capacity to hit the end of November Shipping date.
We are on schedule to do that, but we will not be shipping before the holiday.

Thanks for the order!

The goal is to get shutter speed at double your frame rate. Generally an ND16 will handle most bright conditions and the ND16/PL helps reduce glare in addition to reducing the shutter speed to the sweet spot.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Polar Pro moved the shipping week from last week of November to first week of December.

This is only for orders placed from a few days ago onwards.
All orders are shipping on the date promised when you placed the order.

https://it.aliexpress.com/item/P ... HD/32768384828.html

I wish there was a 3 pack with the CP, ND8PL and ND16PL.  I don't really want to pay $99 for several filters I won't end up using.

What if i want to order only the nd16pl or nd8pl?

I notice that PolarPro produce cinema series and 'normal' filters for the phantoms.   What 'Quality' are the mavic filters deemed to be??

Thanks

I saw in a reply post from Polar Pro a while ago saying this uses the same "normal" glass, and not their Cinema Series Glass..
It said however, that in the future they will come out with other lenses for the Mavic (i.e. likely cinema series).

If i find the post i'll link it here.

Cheers Stu-pak.

Hopefully PolarPro will be able to clarify the latest thoughts/plans as well when they see my post

Scroll quiet far down and you will see the response from Jeff at Polar Pro:

"The Cinema Glass is extremely nice, the standard HD glass is also a very high end glass.
For the Mavic, we are going to begin with our HD glass, and then roll out special editions.

They will be a pressure fit installation, they will not fall off, guaranteed.

-Jeff"

Ahhh brilliant.  Thanks for that.  I have no doubt that even the 'Normal' glass will be high quality, and that the cinema glass will only really show improvement for serious videographers.

Just shoot an email to support@polarprofilters.com and they can get you set up.

We will begin taking special orders early December,

Email sent.  Put me on a list!

Can you tell me: they are press on filters.

But they are easy to remove? Or have to stress the gimbal?

Thanks

MuzzaPuppa Posted at 2016-11-3 18:21
How do they fit on the cam? I guess they slip over the end yes? Or screw on?

I would suggest installing the gimbal clamp on first before installing/removing these filters.

Any real world samples out there using these filters?

I agree with this. Any test so far, Jeff? I've ordered the six pack.

I did see several Phantom 4 videos using Polar Pro's filters and they do look good. We just need to see a test footage from the Mavic showcasing the different filters.

They are press on, and there are different levels of grabbing strength. The further on you push them, the stronger the grip gets. With any of the levels of grip you will need to support the gimbal fully with your other hand to safely install and remove.

There should be plenty starting next week when the first batch ships
We have not had to time to cut any footage together as we are more focused on product development right now.

Once we get the filters shipped we will start producing some content.

Hi Jeff I enquirer on you web site if it would be possible to order backpack for a new p4p I purchased and if they could ship with Mavic lens set I already purchased, got no reply, second time this has happened..

Thanks a lot for answering Jeff. As I'm an european customer I pre-ordered it from Hobbymounts in Uk.

Jeff, there are some reports concerning ND Filters and the Mavic camera. Someone on this forum bought ND filters from Amazon but it looks like that the filters will prevent the camera from initializing on startup with the filters attached. Have you guys considered this for the Polar Pro filters?
