Finally got my hands on the Air 3 and I am so stoked to take it to Moab next Friday for some desert shots! But man the filter situation is a rabbit hole. I have been looking at the Freewell packs because they seem like a better value but then I see everyone on YouTube swearing by the PolarPro Vivid collection. My logic was that I just need a basic ND16 or 32 to keep my shutter speed right for that cinematic motion blur but then I started reading about how the CPL versions can actually ruin the sky if you turn the drone too fast and the light angle changes... that sounds like a nightmare to fix in post.

I found these:

• Freewell Bright Day 6-pack
• PolarPro Shutter Collection
• DJI official ones but they seem kinda basic?

I have got about $130 left in my gear budget for this month and I dont want to waste it on glass that is gonna give me a weird color cast. Also some people say you need the ND64 for really bright sand but is that overkill for most situations? I am just trying to get those smooth 4k 60fps shots without it looking like a shaky cell phone video. Do I really need the whole 6-pack or can I get away with just two specific ones? Its all pretty confusing once you start looking at the glass quality vs the weight of the filters for the gimbal motors...
