If you're thinking about the 12 and or 17 but don't want to keep both of those and the 15 I'd get what you're interested in and do some testing before deciding which to keep. As for the 25mm, remember that most people using all of these lenses (apart from the DJI branded 15mm) are using them on...

Yeah, with a quick look at the footage straight out of the camera the differences may not impress most people, but looking closely and editing the footage makes the advantages more obvious. For people working on professional projects or just wanting high quality footage that can be pushed in...

There are Firecrest polarizers too. I have one but haven't used it yet. It should stack fine, with the caveat that any time you stack filters you increase the risk of reflections between them. I have stacked 2 Firecrest ND filters to test and didn't see an obvious problem though. These are...

To be fair, a lot of people the lens works for love it, but a lot also have issues. If you can try one before buying, or better yet try a few, you might find one you love with no problems. I don't know whether or not it will ever be fixed because it *may* be a lens issue that doesn't show up...

I recommend Formatt Hitech's Firecrest filters - they're light so they create less balancing issues, and they're high quality (much less color shifting/etc. than even most of the well known brands). At least look up reviews and examples before buying something else. You can also get 50% off at...

Be careful not to put the SSD cover back in upside down because that makes it even harder to get out. The lines should match up the way they do in the picture you posted with the indentation on the cover matching the cutout on the I2.

I believe the reason for that is the JPEGs are finalized within the I2 while the DNGs have the lens profile embedded within the files and they are finalized within the program you edit them with. You could also choose not to apply lens profiles there, but I think most software applies them by...

I think the 45mm Olympus is nuce, and I've seen good reviews of it, but I'd just look at reviews of all supported primes for myself if you're unsure what to get. These lenses have been around a while and there should be plenty of reviews. The one thing I'd watch out for with the I2...

The Firecrest filters are relatively light too. I really think they're the best choice available for us, and if you've spent thousands on a drone, camera, lens(es), etc. about $70 for 2 high quality, light filters is not that much. Even a slight gain in image quality is worth the price to me...

I think the best option is Formatt Firecrest filters. You'd be looking for 1.5 and 1.8 density (they list them in a different notation than you're using), and 46mm for most supported lenses. If you have the Olympus 45mm, I'd just use a step-up ring so you can use the 46mm filters on that too...

Looks nice! I don't think the -3 -3 -3 style settings did anything for you though; I'm pretty sure they only affect the H.264 and H.265 video recorded to the SD card.
