    My next purchase for my Phantom3 will be a ND filter. I think I'll stay away from an x4 as some say it makes very little difference, so it will be between a x8 or x16, not sure should I also go for a darker one.

    Thanks Jonathan, prices are good here, was looking up filters in shops here which were €30 each, ok they could be DJI brand but it's a little steep.

    I can vouch for polar pro filters, work really well. Just unscrew the UV filter then screw theirs on in place.

    I have the x8 ND filter. its ok for mid day sun but on very sunny day to shoot iso 100 shutter 60 you would need a x16. and even higher.

    Here's a comparison in filters. Plain "Glass", Polarizer, ND4, ND8, and an Inspire 1 Filter.



    Just messing around with the DJI Osmo. Seeing how the different Neewer Filters effect the video. The DJI Osmo is set to "Auto" so let's see how she handles Fluorescent Light, Power Compact Light, Shadows, Bright Sunlight, and even Direct Sunlight.
    The original Osmo glass at the beginning of the video.
    Polarizer at 1:26
    ND4 at 2:54
    ND8 at 4:23
    Inspire 1 at 5:52
    Hope this reference helps!
