Start crashing your horizon flights with stunning footage using the Gradient Cinema Series ND filters from Polarpro. You will get perfectly exposed sky and ground in a couple of seconds. This is my review with test footage made with the DJI MAVIC AIR. Enjoy!

Excellent introduction to polypro's new gradient filters, well done buddy, informative and well presented as usual. (I am still waiting for the Inspire cinematic tutorial....just saying)

DJI Stephen, would you please explain how an 3rd party ND filter may affect the performance of DJI drone while DJI brand filters will not?

Very good review.
The only thing I am wondering is if they will be of any 'real' use since I often try and keep my horizon somewhere in the upper 1/3rd of the frame, instead of in the center.

I have a hard time to loosen the ring, how much force can the gimbal take?

It depends.. it could still work better than standard ones ;-)

This is just a phrase because they want you to buy their products, obviously.

I'm really interested in the idea of these but I am not sure how much use I'd get out of them. I don't tend to do whole flights with mid horizon and like the ability to shot multiple angles without bringing the drone home again to take off her shades. They look really good like all PolarPro products though. My NDs are incredibly helpful to me.

The Mavic needs an automatic filter on/off system that can be activated by the remote controller. Maybe on the Mavic 2!

Yes, that might be true

Anything to help keep that high exposed sky more manageable without having to go too dark lower which this does should really help.

That and they are never going to test/R&D other company products to ensure gimbal and other such issued do not arise.

I think I will pass these
Very limited use (only for stills and only for centered horizon)

16, maybe even 32 if you want the shutterspeed to be at ~ 1/50 or 1/60, depending on the fps you are filming at. Lefkada is beautiful.

If that possible then the pokemon index problem will also be in a manner that can make the automated scanned program from the card to build that kind of image category for that reason you must consult the Canon Printer Customer Care for the process of that reason.
