Are other filters available for the Inspire? I use a polirizer on my Nikon from time to time. It can make foliage darker and cut out reflections on water.

A polarizer is one of the most essential Filters in Photography. I had the same question and never received an answer. The DJI Filters are of the opppisite from a normal Filter mounting wise ????? don't know why?? The Phantom 2 Vision had a Filter attachment available and you could use a 46mm Filter. I have some Filters for my Phantom and the Polarizer is one of them plus a nice 1A Skylight Filter. Apparently the issue is the weight of the Filter affects the Gimbal. The Phantom 2 Vision+ has no Filter attachment for that reason.

Did the additional weight throw off the gimbal in your inspire?

OK, where did you come up with the Filters? I am sure a number of us would like to know? Does the weight of them have any effect on the Gimbal?

A regular filter has the male threads on the outside of the filter and the female threads on most cameras are on the inside of the lens barrel. Look at you DJI supplied filters and the camera, they are just the opposite. The male threads are on the inside of the filter and the female threads are on the outside of the lens.

Not a problem. Hopefully Suley will let us know where he found them?

Again, I would like to make an up on that subject. I am sure that one of us have found a CPL lens that is fitting the inspire. I have really looking for such a lens over ebay, amazon, anywhere really... And I can never find the information I need, the location of the threads on the lens, inside or outside!

Please, if anyone know one brand that sells one with inside threads in 37mm, let us know.
The setting of Suleyman just looks perfect, if it does not bother the gimbal operation.

I finally found the exact model that Suleyman displayed. It is the Sony 37mm CPL polarizer for HD cam.
Now I wonder if the wait does not bother the gimbal, since it looks really heavy...

Alex,
Isn't that Sony 37mm CPL polarizer mounted with an adapter made by Japan Optics?
Did you find a link for these 2 products?
I would like to order them both but I can't seem to find them online as I do not know what parts to search for.
Thanks,
Bogdan

It seams to me that you do not need any adaptor, the sony filter has a female threat. My only concern is the weight... Many posts on this forum talk about 5-6 grams to be the limit and this filter is more like 12-13 grams... and an other 12-13 if you add the ND filter like Suleyman did.

Yes Jim that is the reference, but can not find it anymore in black, it looks like the new version exists only in Aluminum color, so I am trying to get one from a pre-used website in France.

Will let you know, how that works out.

Threads on the outside of the Filter itself? If so, will not play my friend. Why no answer from Suleyman is troubling.

I tested a variable ND but the 20 grams was to heavy for the gimbal. And for counterbalance in the back of the gimbal is almost no place. Now I just taped a pola glass without the aluminium frame on top of the DJI ND6

Did you ever weigh the DJI ND for weight comparison, if so it would be great to post. Cheers
