Easy to use
The K&F Concept DJI Mini 3 Pro filters make for great footage. The filter I had was the CPL32. Installing the filters is easy by yourself (see video). Simply twist the lens filter if one is on to remove it. Then take the filter you want to install and place it at a slight angle. When it is flush with the lens, give it a quick twist. It is so easy. I have attached a short video showing the installation process.
The 3 filters come in a plastic case for convenient storage of the filters. However, you cannot use your standard drone lens cap as the body cap does not close.
In addition to the filters, you also get a set of propellers with a screwdriver. I'm not averse to using third-party propellers, but compared to DJI's own-manufactured ones, there's a certain level of dread in using them. Just for completeness, the props don't look as good quality as the originals and probably aren't, but they aren't bad quality and I'm sure they would work just as efficiently as the DJI equivalent, but I do maybe just stick with the DJI with my 400lb drone. Having said that, I consider this to be a gimmick and doesn't add credence to the filters, which speak for themselves anyway.
In general I found the K&F filters to be very good and satisfied with the quality of the filtered videos they produced, although on a few occasions I did notice a slight reflection of the sun, in the form of a line going down the screen and another in one other video but these were on screen for a split second but I didn't notice anything with no filter enabled.
In summary, while there was an issue with a fraction of my video, possibly due to the filter, I can't be sure I would still rate these filters as a good buy. You get 3 CPL ND filters and they are good quality. You get the propellers too, but definitely not the same quality as DJI's own. But for £35 you get a lot for your money so I'd definitely give them a try.
Update: Referring to the shadow in one of the videos. I've since seen similar solar flares on other drone videos, so I can conclude that this isn't a fault with the filters themselves.
