The 28 layer coating on the optical glass is highly effective at reducing reflections, flares, and ghosting. This translates to cleaner, sharper footage even in challenging lighting conditions, like bright sunlight or when shooting over reflective surfaces like water. The coating also enhances durability, providing resistance against scratches and smudges—a crucial feature when you’re working outdoors.

The ND8 and ND16 filters are perfect for controlling light exposure. The ND8 allows for subtle light reduction, great for slightly overcast days or golden hour shots, while the ND16 is ideal for very bright conditions. Both filters help maintain the correct exposure while keeping the shutter speed within the 180-degree rule, resulting in smooth and cinematic motion blur.

The polarizing feature (PL) is particularly useful for reducing glare and enhancing contrast. I noticed a significant improvement when shooting landscapes—the skies appeared richer, and the details in clouds and foliage popped beautifully. This dual ND/PL design saves the hassle of swapping between two separate filters, providing convenience without sacrificing performance.

In terms of fit and construction, the filters are incredibly lightweight, so they don’t affect the gimbal’s balance or motor strain. The aluminum alloy frame is durable yet slim, offers a snug fit on the DJI Neo without interfering with operation. Installing and removing the filters is straightforward, thanks to their precise threading.
