I am only going to comment on the filters, as unsure why they even bothered with subpar propellers in this otherwise great entry-level set.
The filters take 5 seconds to swap and perform well, considering their price. There are some colour artefacts here and there, or a sneaky glary shadow, but these are more than good enough for anything that isn't a well-paid professional gig that needs pristine footage at all times.
Recommended, just don't forget that you will need to switch your exposure/white balance to manual mode for best results, as auto mode will try to counter the filters…

My Mini3Pro works perfectly with these filters, the gimbal has no problems with them, the box for the filters is robust and it is no damage to have spare propellers. They are easy to change. I don't notice any discoloration caused by the ND filters in the image.
That actually says it all, this set is clearly recommended for the Mini3 Pro. But now the question: Who are these filters recommended for and for what?
Simply put, for anyone who doesn't want a video look but a movie look on their recordings. What is the difference? In the so-called motion blur.
When you film with a drone at noon on a sunny winter day when it snows, the camera sets itself for an extremely short exposure time due to the brightness. Each image is only exposed for an x-thousandth of a second. If you pause the video afterwards and look at the individual frames, every single image is a razor-sharp photo, no matter how fast you flew. It is this complete sharpness of the individual images that creates the video look, which is often perceived as cheap.
Film look has motion blur, i.e. fast-moving elements in the shot, e.g. in the foreground at close range, are somewhat blurred in the individual images. As a result, the rapid movement of objects while the film is running becomes more fluid for the eye. In the individual image, however, you can see the blur of the fast-moving objects. This type of recording is also more like seeing our eyes. The image becomes more natural.
ND filters are required to achieve this effect. To achieve a movie look, the rule of thumb is that you should double the number of frames per second and thus get the desired exposure time. So if you shoot a video at 30 fps, the target exposure time is 1/60th of a second per frame. At 60 fps equivalent to 1/120th etc. This is a guide, you can experiment and achieve interesting results.
On our clear winter afternoon over snow, far too much light falls into the camera in a 60th of a second and the image is completely outshining. If you now place a high ND filter, e.g. 64 or even 1000, on the camera, the filter darkens the lens. This allows you to set the camera to a 60th exposure time, the filter allows less light to enter the camera and the image looks good... but with the motion blur caused by the 60th of a second shutter speed. When which ND filter is correct has to do with experience. In general, a higher number indicates a greater darkening of the lens.
ND filters are therefore needed if you want to make more natural-looking videos that include fast movement. A good example is to fly quickly over a rapeseed field with the beautiful yellow flowers at a distance of only a few centimeters in height.
You have to know for yourself whether you prefer a movie look or a video look. Both can have their own appeal. But if you want a movie look... I can recommend this filter set.

The 6 filters are very easy to use. Simply remove the lens protector and replace it with one of the supplied filters. The image quality obtained is very good and there is a very good improvement for videos.
I haven't used the propellers yet because mine are in perfect condition.

The ND filter set for the DJI Mini 3 Pro was well packaged and delivered quickly. All filters are delivered directly in a practical plastic box. The package includes 6 ND filters and 2 sets of propellers. With ND filters, you can record much nicer videos, especially on cloudless days. These are like a kind of sunglasses for the camera, the higher the value, the darker the image. When filming at 4K 30fps, the shutter speed should be 1/60 to make the footage look cinematic. However, this is impossible on sunny days, even if the ISO is 100. So it needs an ND filter to darken the image. If you want to shoot at 60fps, you should set the shutter speed to 1/120. This requires an ND filter with a small value. So far, I've only used the ND4 to ND16 filter. The other filters are only suitable for special applications or for long exposures. Although the latter is difficult to achieve with a drone.
I am also satisfied with the workmanship of the filters. They are made of aluminum and glass and are very lightweight. Nevertheless, you exceed the 250g limit. The filters therefore do not impair the functionality of the gimbal system. The protective cover still fits the gimbal system. The filters can also be plugged in and removed without any problems. They also sit very firmly on the camera. In the end, you get inexpensive ND filters and 2 sets of propellers, which help you to expose the video with the ideal exposure time. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to test the replacement propellers in theory yet. However, I am quite satisfied with the quality of workmanship. These also look sturdy and hardly differ from the original propellers in terms of appearance and size.

At that price you can't really go wrong with these filters. They are a perfect fit and super easy to put on and off the drone. They do the job right.

It comes with a very extensive set of different filters for various effects, for a wide variety of subjects and recordings. What I would like to say is, which filter is suitable for which use is decided by everyone. Of course, there is a basic recommendation, but my experience is that simply trying it out and using the lighting effects makes for great pictures. There is also a set of 8 propellers... in an all-rounder package.
But now on to the product. For just under 50 euros, you get 6 different filters or object attachments. Strictly speaking, this means that another part is mounted on the DJI, which may result in the permissible total weight being exceeded again - remember the 250 g limit!
Assembly is easy to implement. Not quite as easy as shown in the product image, but comparable in principle. Twist off, put on and turn on — done. Have fun trying it out. 5 stars.

At the time of writing this review, the price for the K&F ND filter set is £47.99.
In the pakcage, you will get 6 ND filters, from 4 to 1000 which will satisfy your exposure needs for film making/imagine capture. In addition you will also get 1 set of propellers compatible with DJI Mini 3 pro.
The filters are made of optical glass and with multi-layers of coating, overall it can reduce len glare and relfection. The quality of the optical glass is excellent and it can reduce the quality loss from the production.

When I received these filters I was not real sure that I actually needed them but figured I would try and see. Let me tell you. Get you some of these. My drone footage went from washed out and needing lots of correction in post editing to absolutely beautiful videos and images.
I took these and my DJI Mini Pro 3 on vacation to the beach and the weather was from very sunny to overcast on some days. I used the 8 filter on the slightly overcast day and the video is absolutely 100% better than without the filter. On a very sunny day I used the 16 and the 32 and they both performed amazing.
The fit and finish on these filters is amazing. They come in a nice case with perfect cutouts for each filter. The bonus for me was that the original lens cover from my drone fits perfectly in whatever spot filter you took about so no loosing that.
I would recommend if your not using filters on your drone you start now and this set will serve you well. The price point is great. They are built well. Get them now!

Have used these for a few months no and 100% recommend them as is a fantastic set of lens which all work very well and have had no issues even after months of use so clearly very decent quality and build and each does exactly what it's supposed to very well so would recommend fully.
