Over the past few days I took some photos where the glare would normally cause a problem. In this Slideshow I am using a Neutral Density 4 filter. As you will see it brings out the color and removes all the glare along with removing the flickering from the sun reflecting off the props. You can move up to the ND8 or higher, or use one that has the Circular Polarization built in depending on the day and what you are trying to video.
Your first decision is who you should buy from. For me I am 100% satisfied with the SRP Snake River Prototyping filters snakeriverprototyping.com They are High quality, and extremely light. For my testing I used the Phantom 2 Zenmuse H3-3D Gimbal and the Steadygo3 Neither required any balancing even during more aggressive turns.
SRP makes these filters for the Gopro, with and without the protective shell. They also have filters for Phantom 2 vision, Phantom 3, and Inspire 1 They were kind enough to offer a 10% discount if you use GPAJAKE at checkout.
I would love to hear back if you do purchase these filters and share your thoughts on how much it helped with your videos and photos. I do plan on doing more testing, but so far what I have seen has truly changed the way my videos turn out.
Ps. Make sure you just push them on and pull them off gently, DO NOT TURN THEM !
Take care, Grandpa Jake
