Decent grad filter with some magenta color cast
I haven't seen any other reviews for the graduated filter set, so here's mine. If you don't know the difference, the graduated filters have a different purpose from the solid ND filters which currently share this Amazon listing. Solid ND filters are primarily used to lower the shutter speed for smoother video. Graduated filters like these are intended to lower the light coming in from the top half of the frame (i.e. the sky) to give a more balanced exposure for either video or stills.I've used many different ND graduated filters with my DSLRs, and know they are invaluable in the right situations. I bought this set just for the uncolored filter (I don't foresee using the colored ones). I hoped it would bring the same contrast control to my aerial photos. Here's what I found.The filter is well made, and I had no problems threading it on my Phantom 3 Advanced. If anything, the threads seemed looser than I'd like. If I tightened it all the way, the graduation wouldn't be level, so I used a strip of tape to hold it in place. I agree that a dust-free case would make more sense than a microfiber bag.My experience with fullsize ND grads has taught me there tend to be two problems to watch for: loss of sharpness and color casts. I didn't notice any sharpness issues with this PolarPro grad filter, but there was definitely a color cast. My understanding is that it's caused by light being blocked unevenly across the spectrum. Attached are a few pictures to demonstrate.This isn't a deal-breaker for me, because it can be reasonably corrected in post by adding +7 green tint in Lightroom, or even a graduated correction. For sunset and sunrise shots, I'd actually prefer to keep the actually color cast. However, Phantom photographers who care deeply about color fidelity should be aware that these filters aren't as neutral as you'd expect from a Lee or new Formatt-Hitech ND filter for your "big camera." However, this filter is certainly better than rigging up something yourself, and I expect it to be a useful addition to my aerial camera kit.
