Polar Pro produces some great filters. I've used them on my Phantom 3 and 4. My new I2 arrives tomorrow; my Polar Pro filters arrived today. Arrow1969 is right. These are good filters.

Formatt Hitech, Firecrest ND filters are top in quality for the X5S camera, that is what I use.

Hi parisnakitakejs!
I have read this good article (http://www.the-digital-picture.c ... Density-Filter.aspx) talking about a comparison about 10-stops ND.
Assuming a 10-stops filter is almost certain to be dominant in color and on 1, 2 or 3 stop the dominant is fairly moderated (and well adjustable with white balance) I have bought the B+W filters for their price ratio and for the brand behind them: Shneider.
I've done some test shooting pictures and I find that works fine.
There are better filters on the market but I did not want to spend a fortune to mount them on no-pro lenses.
Considering that by now I have only the stock lens DJI MTF 15mm/1.7 ASPH (ok but not really sharp) and no one of the supported lenses are professionals I think that filters qualitatively superiors are useless.

Like you, would I like to hear other pilots's experience, even on the other supported lenses ...if it's not too off-topic.

I have been using Tiffen filters with great results. My set is a ND 0.6, ND 0.9, ND 1.2, and a CPL. Each one is close in weight to the balance ring, so you can just swap the balance ring for the filter and still have the gimbal well balanced.

Here's a pic I took yesterday with an ND16 and polarizer. This is right from the camera (no post editing).

Thanks very much for this info. I'm in need of a high quality filter set for the X5S and really have had good luck with Tiffen's larger filters. Any chance you could send links to these filters you mention? Thanks very much.

I would say go to B&H or Adorama and order from there. Been a while since I ordered so I don't have the links handy.
