So after a few flights and testing out, I am returning these big boys to Amazon. Not worth it, they are a pain to take off and leave smudges all over the original glass. Sucks because I scratched the original lens while removing.

I ordered the original ND 16 Filter for now and will get the rest later.

Good to know, thanks for the info Jericho. I will be avoiding these filters.

Aww, bummer. Sorry to hear they didn't work out well.
Thanks for being our guinea pig!

It may not matter, and I wasn't bashing your video, it's sweet! I'm just trying to understand the effect of the filters.
From what I've read and what m0j0 said, the idea is to use the filters to dial in a fixed shutter speed of roughly 2x the fps of your recording. So if you're recording at 1080p, 30fps for example, then you'd want your shutter set at 60. The goal is to have the exposure roughly neutral, which equates to an EV of 0, and an image that looks well exposed.
I hope I'm understanding all this right. I'm mainly spelling it out like this in hopes that if I have something wrong, someone will correct me.

Yes... You have the right idea.
