Thanks. I tried to order them over here in EU but nowhere to be found in stock. So I turned directly to Polar Pro. Great service. That was where I was aiming for. I try to shoot 100 iso and sweet spot of F4 close at 1/60. If changing to PAL I need 1/50.

Did you have to pay customs tax? Looking for stock all over EU, but without any luck. Would rather avoid ordering from US and paying extra taxes.
 
No. I was surprised to. I paid for the set filters + DHL shipping fee and no customs taxes where added when the filters where cleared by customs at Brussels airport.

Well yesterday I had the opportunity to get my P4P into the air and got to test the Polar Pro ND Cinematic filters. Although is wasn't that bright I was surprised that I needed the ND32 already to lower my shutter speed at 60 frames per second shooting in 4K @ 30fr/sec. Depending on the environment (bit of sun, clouds, lighter, darker scenery) the histogram showed the difference around 1 F-stop during the whole shoot. My guess is that ND16 and 32 will be mostly used in the future. I must admit that shooting at that frame rate with these (mechanical) shutter speeds the video really looks smooth to watch. I found that particular when watching the blades from the wind turbine turning smoothly with no traces at all. I have posted a small video on YouTube.

I also was impressed that using the ND filter(s) I could fly in to the direction of the sunlight not blowing out the highlights and giving me a bit of headroom editing and color correcting in Davinci Resolve to get a nice illuminated shot.

I've been very impressed with the results I've gotten from the set I purchased although they are not the cinematic line. For the money they are outstanding. I purchased the set of 3 (4, 8 & 16). I'd like to have a 32 in the future. The only downside is that the DJI gimbal protector doesn't fit well. Not a big deal.
