ND filters for serious shooters

If your choose to get the advanced (and more expensive) "creative combo" option together with your new DJI Pocket-2, it may seem that you will have just about every imaginable option:
camera cover, mini control stick, two smartphone (Lightning/IOS + USB-C / Android) adapters, charging splitter cable, tripod mount, wireless microphone, remote mic windscreen, wrist strap, do-it-all handle, and even wide angle lens.

What else you may ever need to enjoy this gadget at full potention, right?
Wrong !

If you been in video shooting a bit longer than a month or two, you have probably have heard about Neutral-density (ND) filters.
While it seem like geeky & unnecessary luxury, in fact these filters are probably the next most important thing you may want to get as your "combo pack" upgrade.

Not only it will make your video, shooted on a bright sunny day, much more natural and pleasant to watch, but it may be also a very handy tool in a better quality timelapse and hyperlapse creations.

While the top enthusiasts go for 8, 10 or 12 piece packs, even a smaller range of 4 or 6 pieces will be sufficient to cover 80+% of your shooting situations.

I decided to go for a medium 6 pieces pack, which I found on Amazon

Five different levels of density, plus one fully transparent polarized glass, all together for €62 including delivery. That is roughly €10 per filter, not so bad IMHO.

This handy tool from NEEWER came packet in a beautiful, snappy transparent protection box, and arrived in less than six days after payment.
These lenses are really tiny, and a bit difficult to handle ( and I don't think I am a thick-finger man)

Perhaps few more important options would be a good retractable selfie stick and long-leg tripod.
But those I already had from the past, the rugged DJI stick and MANFROTTO tripod.
