I was wondering which filters were best to use on the camera of the Standard? Thank you.

I'm interested in answers as well having read conflicting advertisements for them .....

As the OP says - for the Standard model.

I have ordered a set of Neewer lenses as I also need to improve video quality when filming oblique to the sun or when reflections are bouncing off the ground.
Neewer for DJI Phantom 3 Standard, 4-Pack Filter Kit ND#17. eBay £20. CPL, ND4 and ND8 included in the package.
I have no idea how these will affect the footage as this photography lark is new to me, I just used to let my phone work it out!

Great deal. Mine should be delivered on Thursday. I have the next 2 weekends working so it is going to be difficult to get out and see how they change the shot.

The filter you should use depends on the atmospheric settings during flight. If it is really really sunny out you may need to use an ND16 to knock your ISO and Shutter down to the appropriate amount. If its not too sunny out but still bright, maybe an ND4 or ND8. All depends on how much light / exposure you're getting at the time. When I fly at the beach I use a CPL filter to remove glares from the water and improve saturation.

I have: CPL, MCUV, ND4, ND8, ND16. Got a PGY lens pack for around $100 on Ebay and I've been happy with them.
