Title says it all really, I've been thinking of getting the DJI ND filtersbut they are far more expensive and only have ND4, 8 and 16 where as these https://amzn.to/2IKx4GWPGYTECH ones also have the ND32 at a cheaper price. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with the brand for quality or had used these particular filters?

Thanks.

I have a sixpack of them including a UV and PL filter. Very good quality. Work as advertised.

I take it they screw on without issues and don't affect the gimble at all then?

Also, do they come with a case that's small or is it oversized with loads of padding?

Got mine a couple of weeks ago -

Nicely made and fit well
The ND32 was one of the reasons I went for PGY-TECH
Neat case with magnetic lid
Haven't had a chance to try the NDs, bright weather not a problem here in the UK yet this year, but flown with the UV and pics/footage look fine

I'll add myself to the list of PGYTech filter owners - I've bought a 6-pack for my P4P previously, and based on the quality of those I bought similar for my Air. Highly recommend them.
I used the ND8 and ND16 last weekend, and they did what they were supposed to. Otherwise, the UV filter stays on the Air as default (rather than the original DJI fitting).

Remembering that they are replacing the DJI fitting, rather than adding to it, and that they are made of aluminium, I can't see how their can be an impact on the gimbal.

I think Amazon sell them in the UK too...

I do but not with me at the moment man. They are fine. I am using the ND16 as the go to filter but I have tried the the ND32. There is no colour haze or tinge on them. The work just fine. You will be pleasantly surprised. I will be back near my machine on Monday. If yours are not with you I will post a vid.

I had issues with the sunnylife ones, they add a dark corner effect to my photos due to the lens hood.

Interesting, but what's the difference between the standard and advanced filters?

One has to assume the bluish is with a PGYTech filter, otherwise the post is off-topic.

Anyway, I've noticed some effect on colours with the darker PGYTech filters, but I've assumed that's because the colour profile is being affected by the change in exposure settings. But I'm not a trained photographer...
