These filters with the new curved edges are nicely made and do exactly what they say - sliding snugly onto the Mavic camera lens *before* turning it on AND pass the gimbal initialization. You can leave them on the camera if you want. My only observation is that the case they come with could be slightly shorter to fit into the Mavic carry case front pocket with the zip closed - it fits, but not as neatly as it could.
However, the real news is the superb customer service I got from Dan at PolarPro. My Mavic is apparently one of a small percentage that has a smaller gimbal clearance than others - which made the filters hit the gimbal frame and fail initialization. Dan worked with me persistently and patiently to get me a set that worked and earned my great respect for his dedication. I see a lot of customer service failures all over the world these days and my experience with PolarPro is an encouraging and uplifting contrast. Very well done.

Runs nicely through gimbal startup and works well for nicely balanced footage
These are excellent filters for the money! I tested all 6 through the gimbal startup routine without any difficulties. (see attached video) I do not have a real basis for comparison of other brands but I have take some nicely balanced footage with these! I like the 6 pack over the 3 pack as it is a more well rounded set. I might have preferred a 4 and 64 instead of maybe the CP versions of the 8 and 16 for a larger range set.

Instructions say to install after calibration.
Update: Returned, not risking a $1000 investment.
So far they work fine. Update: Returned, not taking the chance.

Was hesitant when first arrived, because of all the bad review. No problem with calibration from start up (with filter on). Filter does hit gimbal a bit. So far I have tried the cp filter and the nd-16/pl and I am very impressed with the difference in video and snapshots I've taken.Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2017

Filtres très utiles

A première vue, l'ensemble est très qualitatif et surtout, ce sont bien les officiels. Je trouvais que l'annonce manquait de clarté, me voilà donc rassurée.
La boîte de transport, en plus d'être élégante est ultra pratique car elle se glisse facilement dans la sacoche du drone sans crainte d'abîmer les filtres.
Les filtres en eux-mêmes sont très faciles à insérer sur le Mavic, il n'y a qu'à les clipser.
Petite astuce : je laisse la petite protection plastique du gimbal pour faciliter la mise en place du filtre (ce n'est pas écrit dans la notice mais c'est plus simple et moins de risque de casser le gimbal). Sachant que de base les filtres n'avaient pas été prévus sur le Mavic pro, c'est vraiment bien étudié.
Et pour 40€ au lieu de 120€, c'est plus que parfait !
Si ce commentaire vous a aidé n'hésitez pas à voter "oui" merci !
