Great packaging, fit and clarity
I recently bought a DJI Mavic 3 Classic, mainly for filming videos. The Mavic 3 is great because it has a physical aperture that lets you control the amount of light that comes in, but like any camera, it's limited. So in order to film at a cinematic frame rate with a shutter speed of 24fps and an exposure time of 1/50th of a second, I needed help, even on cloudy days. These ND filters do it and do it well.
The filters come in nice plastic packaging with solid foam cut outs for each filter which protect them well. The filters fit the camera just as securely as the clear glass filter that comes with the drone. But it may take a little fiddling to get it just right. And since the area of the ND filter region is slightly larger than that of a clear filter, the additional filter area ensures that there is no vignetting (darkening at the edges) that can often occur with ND filters. Also, I didn't notice any color cast.
If I had to complain about anything, it would be the microscopic lettering that the filters are labeled with. This is partly due to the thin frame, so they don't have much to work with. But for old people like me, they could have used a slightly larger font. So keep a magnifying glass in your pocket if you want to know which filter to choose.
Otherwise, K&F generally makes high quality products, and it appears to do so. That's a good value.
The video example was shot on a mostly cloudy day at 24 frames per second, 1/50 second exposure time, 400 ISO, f/6.3 with the ND8 filter.
