For my 3DR Solo i need to get some ND filters for my GoPro 4 Black. I found everyone trust the PolarPro ND Filters. I found them to work perfectly. You also cannot just buy 1 ND filter. You need to buy a combo pack for all the situations: cloudy, direct sunlight and low light. I also found some describe the filters in ND numbers and Stops. So below are the translations. These filters do require balancing your gimbal a little. I just velcroed on some coins on the side and top.
For my DJi Mavic i needed the same thing, a combo pack. Again i found a PolarPro set. This set is much smaller than the GoPro version for obvious reasons. It comes in a nice case. I labeled the filters in the case based off the outdoor environment, so i know which to swap quickly. These filters did not require any balancing. Install them with the gimbal lock installed. There are 3 options to chose from, polarized or not or both. I chose the cinema version. The gold ones.

Note: With a Set of PL , ND4 and ND8 Filter (If you live in a sunny state +ND16) you are prepared for 98% of all situations.
Stops to ND value
- ND4/PL filter (2 stops)
- ND8/PL filter (3 stops)
- ND16/PL filter (4 stops)
- ND32/PL filter (5 stops)
Great info can be found here:
Are these filters available at Best Buy or should I look up at Amazon? Looking for ND16 and ND64 only though. Would appreciate your help
