I found a great deal on PolarPro filters

[graywoulf]

Ebay seller contacted me, sending replacement. No questions asked. PolarPro vs Ebay seller = 0-1

Sorry to hear that you got a damaged set but glad to hear that the seller is sending a replacement.

Thanks!
Will most likely add some solder and Airfix paint to the "defect" part.
Certainly not bin it!
Replacement in the mail. No worries.

So they don't want the first set?

If that's the case, then it's a SWEET DEAL times two.

Indeed

Seems like we get better support outside PolarPro.
They cover their asses with "Items bought from unauthorized resellers will not be covered under warranty."

In our country there is no authorized dealer of PP, just a couple (2-3) DJI stores.
And closest is 250 miles away from HomePoint.

Then there is local resellers of DJI drones/accessories. They've got PP filters for sale.

A likely scenario would go like this if filters was bought locally:

• Phone/Mail to reseller: "Contact DJI, we just sell them filters"
• Phone/Mail to nearest DJI: "Contact PP, we just sell them filters"
• Phone/Mail to PP: "Do you have proof of purchase?"
• Me: "Here is a photo of the receipt"
• PP: " But this is a receipt from an unauthorized reseller, not DJI. Contact reseller, you are not covered by warranty"
• Me: Searching Ebay for a great deal.

It's a shame...
Sorry for the rant.

Mine came yesterday. Can't find anything not to like about them.

Support from Polar Pro? Won't worry about it as I spent a whole $16 on them.

I don't see them listed anywhere on Polar Pro's site. Perhaps they're some they made then dumped thinking there was no market, or perhaps somebody trying to use their name to sell their own filters?

Are these the filters???

You guys are getting a good deal considering they list for $80 from PolarPro.

Spark is discontinued, prob why you cannot find them.

@Spark 317 Yeah! Very pleased with the outcome from these filters. Had a chance to make a short run with the ND8/PL yesterday.

So, I looked all over for filters for my Spark. Only now do I find that Polar Pro had them.

I have a set now

Great set of filters.

The rotational polarizer ring is not set by default, you have to adjust the ring according to your need and taste.
You can risk totally dark screen/footage.
I adjust them on my car stereo screen (old bimmer) by holding them like they are mounted on a horizontal gimbal.
Any led screen will do the job, even your phone/tv/device (most likely).
By looking at the "screen" through the filter I rotate to total dark both directions, then rotate to center ("open" at horizontal).
Adding a small marker at ring and housing will help presetting them when mounting in the wild.
When in use I only rotate them to taste.
Remember to shoot in Manual mode, Auto would really make a mess.

Yes, polarized filters sometimes have different effects depending on the direction of the light.

I think you hit the nail on the head with that statement. I have no reason to think that they are not the real deal but just leftover stock that Polar Pro is liquidating.
