Does anyone know a good ND Filter to use on the GoPro Hero 3 to reduce the jello effect which occurs on bright days?
Thanks in advance!!

Ozzyguy said:I suspect that it so a bit of both. When high frequency vibration come close to what the shutter speed is then you start to see jelly as we say in Australia. Imagine a vibration at 60 cycles per second bumping a camera that is taking a shot each time it is bumped(ie 60 frames per second)
ladykate said:Well... I guess the original question (where can I get an ND filter) is to shop Amazon. However, I don't get jello effect when pointing into the sun or on bright days with my setup. Not saying it doesn't happen - just isn't happening to me. Jello effect is usually caused by vibrations - I base that on the 4 zillion posts on here about it. I have no doubt there can be other reasons, too.
I do think the filter is a good idea - especially a UV filter. It protects the lens that is just hanging out there ready to get scratched by a tumble on the ground and it cuts haze and defines the sky better (edit: was just informed that the 'cutting haze' thing doesn't apply to digital stuff so it would be more of a lens protector).
I DID get slight jello on my P1 until I isolated the camera with a kit.

Why too big for flying?
They've worked fine for me.

I found this at AMZN: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HXA ... UTF8&psc=1

That would work. Go to Amazon and search on GoPro lens filter. The problem with the 37mm conversion is that once you put a polarized filter on the adapter, you get slight vignetting in wide mode. Everything is a trade-off.
