Has anyone come across any filters that are allowing the Spark to function properly when in use?  Headed to Exuma in November and would like to have something by then if possible.  I read through the other topics but haven't seen much come up lately.

I believe these are the metal ones that are too heavy for the gimbal, unless they have produced a new set.

I have both Freewell & Polarpro (polarpro refunded due to the issue they had during sports mode) they made new sets which according to them should not have that issue but their installation is same as the first sets &  i will still go with Freewell as polarpro i have to put my gimbal down each time to put the filter on & off , with Freewell after the bracket installation its just 1-2 seconds installation & no issues with pano , sports.

I used my polarpro I bought at best buy for the first time yesterday, easy to put on although they don't feel that secure, they are.  Worked great.

Polar Pro CINEMA series shutter &/or vivid collection - these are their top of the line filters and recently produced to include Spark. They are the ones with the gold frame and not the black frame. The vivid collection are combined ND’s and polarisers - that’s the set I went for and no regrets.

I got a set of these little guys from ebay, much less cost but work well.  They needed a little mod (removing a bit of extra palastic) to ensure the gimbal could move up.

I have the SunnyLife ones MCUV, CPL and ND8 filters, flew them today, no modifications needed.

Easy to fit to the camera gimbal and don't drop off in sports mode, I'm very happy with them , my awesome pictures and videos just got better

I have Sunnylife's filter too but since test it, imposible to perform a pano. So I removed it and then pano work well again. After some look on web, it might damage de gimbal, happy to have removed it. But then what's the best filter to avoid any damage?
