I missed the fact that the kit I picked up didn't include a ND. I thought it did as other kits did. So I know off the bat from my P3 experience I do need one.
Under accessories, the polar pro kit (5 ND and a CP) shows up. Includes ND8,16,32, CP and 8+cp and 16+cp. $199. Cripes. Thats darn expensive. Works out to $33 each. I don't think I would use most of them.
I have a set of filters for my P3 birds. ND2,4 8 and a CP that came as a kit. I laser cut a ND16 from some Rosco sheet stock. To be honest, I think I only ever used ND4 on any regular basis. And sometimes stacked the CP with it or sometimes alone when shooting near windows or water where I wanted to reduce or eliminate reflections. But due to the remote nature of a drone, adjusting the angle of the CP became an issue and as such, something very rare as it was a PITA to get right. ND2 made so little difference I rarely used it. ND8 seemed too much in most cases, at least for the P3.
I was thinking of picking up a Hoya or two instead of the PolarPro kit since it contains NDs I would rarely use.
So, which NDs do you actually use on your Inspire?
And would it be worth the investment to get the higher end IRND filters which integrate IR reduction with ND or does the X5R contain a sufficient IR filter to eliminate IR saturation when using an ND?
