Polar Pro Hero 5 Black Cinema Series Filters 3-Pack

Finally decided to pull the trigger on these filters despite their cost. Not to say they are overpriced, it's just hard to refute that it's a tough pill to swallow spending $100 on a filter set for a camera that I paid $300. After really starting to dive into video you will see that most folks recommend shooting at a shutter speed of 1/(2*fps) aka 180 rule. The GoPro allows you to manually set this shutter speed, but you will find that when shooting at reasonable frame rates your shots will be horribly overexposed. That's where this filter set comes in. I find myself using the ND32 filter the most. The first set I ordered didn't arrive too gracefully. The filters were out of their spots in the holder they are included with. The filters incorporate two small ball bearings to improve the fit and feel of the filter install. On the ND16 filter one of these ball bearings had become displaced from the lens. Since these are pretty expensive I felt it worthwhile to return and attempt at getting another set more intact. The second set arrived equally displaced inside of its case, but appears to be scratch free and all the ball bearings are still intact. The fit of the ND32 filter seems a lot tighter and much improved. So if you order a set, and they don't feel quite right, try returning and getting another set.

I've always used PolarPro products for my DJI drones, so naturally when I bought a Hero 5, I hurried up and purchased a set of Cinema Series filters. Was out earlier today with the ND32 on my GoPro, on the Karma Grip. Set it on a picnic table when I stopped to tie my shoe, but it rolled off the edge and fell from about waste level. No problem, it's a GoPro I though, until I picked it up to find my ND32 completely shattered, and a piece of the glass scratched the lens of my GoPro (not the protective glass, but the actual lens, since this filter replaces the protector that comes on the GoPro).Now my GoPro is off for a costly repair, and I'm left without my go to filter. Contacted PolarPro, and am waiting to hear back. I will update this review after my experience with their customer service. They of course don't have a phone number, so you have to email and they say they will get back in 12 business hours or less.The filter itself does a great job as an ND filter, and I was very happy with it until this morning. If you're going to make an item that you say is built for adventure, that's designed to be mounted to a GoPro, it should be at least as durable as the original GoPro protector. Hopefully PolarPro makes it right, if not I will be looking for another brand.Update: PolarPro requested a photo of the broken filter, and promptly shipped out a replacement. So far the new one is holding up quite well.

These definitely seem to be the highest quality ND filters you can put on your Go Pro, so purchasing these was a no brainer so I can fly my Karma drone and keep the shutter speed to 1/48 or 1/60 depending on the frame rate that I'm shooting at. They do their job and help me get smoother drone footage (not jittery from higher shutter speeds that you would have to use otherwise). My only complaint is that there is a noticeable vignetting that occurs when I use these filters where the edges of the frame are noticeably darker than the center. I'm guessing this is because the GoPro's camera is a super wide angle, but I'd probably pay extra if PolarPro made these filters bigger to avoid vignetting.

I haven't noticed any issues with these filters yet, as far as vignetting and such. I typically shoot in 4k, stabilize, then export at 1080. So, if there are ever issues in the corners, they'll get cropped out during the stabilization process.As others mentioned, the filters had come loose in the case during shipping. Luckily I could not find any damage. I keep a couple of folded-up lens cloths in the case to apply just a little pressure to the filters and hold them in place. So far, they have not come out during transport.

Product showed up and pieces are fine. When I opened the box all the ND filters were unseated from their place in the ND case and on top of each other. The glass was not scratched but the case they come in doesn’t do a great job of holding the filters in place. This may have been due to the cold weather and the metal shrunk. The case was also all scuffed up, maybe these were a returned item at one point. Other than that shipping concern these filters feel solid, the glass didn’t scratch easily and they do exactly what they say they will.

I honestly can’t speak to how they actually work because I haven’t used them yet. This is how they arrived in the picture, all jumbled about. The edges of the metal around the filters were already nicked from hitting each other in shipment. The actual filter doesn’t seem to be scratched at all but it’s still disconcerting to see how they arrived.

The filter works just fine. The fitment need to be improve. O Rings doesn’t work at all they make the filter harder to twist into place or not even fit. I have to mod my O Rings by thinner it. High quality filter but the O Rings comes with it are just disappointing.

Simple to use and provides a very clean filtration. Stays on really well and any lens cover you have for the regular gopro lens will work on this one.Highly recommend! Don't use the cheap stuff for your sensor.

WOW!! These are seriously good quality ND Filters. I bought them as they looked like they would fit well with the housing that I use and as their dimensions are pretty much the same as the GoPro lens protector, without any other pertrusions... They do. Colour quality is stunning!! They fit easier than the GoPro lens protector (thankfully, as that is a pain to remove) and they are supplied with a quality case, cloth and rubber dust rings which drop over the lens of your camera prior to fitting the ND Filter.A quality item but pricey. However, you do get what you pay for.

Li ho utilizzati per la mia Hero7 e sono ottimi sia in qualità che per la resa del bilanciamento (regola dello shutter speed).Sono costosi...ma appena ci si rende conto del materiale quando li si ha in mano si chiude un occhio!

Top! If you want to use the proper shutter speed with your selected frame rate then I can strongly recommend these lenses, high quality and even after 6500km Motorbike Tour NO scratches!

Haven’t been fully able to test these out yet but looking forward to using them with the hero 7 black in combination with my GoPro Karma grip When I’m snowboarding in France. Cheers guys.

Excellent product, works perfectly with Hero cameras
