I don't use ND filters all the time, but for those moments when exposure is up against its limit, such as snowy scenes on a sunny day, wheatfields highly reflective surfaces, you simply have to have them. I use my polarizer more than ND filters, but I always keep a set of these in my photo bag. As a few others have mentioned, they are a very tight fit, but you be rest assured they won't come loose in flight. If you don't already have a set, grab these. The price is good and the quality is first rate.

I recently bought a DJI Mavic 3 Classic, primarily for filming video. The Mavic 3 is great as it does have a physical aperture that can be used to have some control over the amount of light coming in, but as with any camera, it is limited. So in order to film at a cinematic frame rate and shutter speed like 24 fps and 1/50th sec shutter speed, I needed help, even on cloudy days. These ND filters do it and do it well.
The filters come in a nice plastic pack with firm foam cutouts for each filter that protect them well. The filters fit on the camera just as securely as the clear glass filter that comes with the drone. But it may take a little fumbling to get it to sit just right. And since the area of the ND filter area is slightly larger than clear filter, the extra filter area ensures that you don't get any vignetting (darkening around the edges) that you can often get with ND filters. Also, I did not notice any color cast.
If I had to complain about anything, it is the microscopic lettering used to label the filters. This is partially due to the thin frame so they don't have much to work with. But they could have used a little larger font for the sake of old guys like me. So keep a magnifying glass in your bag if you want to know which filter you're choosing.
Otherwise, K&F generally make good quality products and this seems to be as well. This is a good value.

One of the best ND filters set for DJI Mavic 3 Classic. Package and quality of the ND filters are the best. I highly recommend anyone to buy them

I found similar drone ND filters from NEEWER a few months back. These are just as good, from a less well known brand, especially here on Amazon.
They do what they say on the tin; dulling the amount of light coming through the drone lens at the f stops on the side of the filters.
The fit could be better; I am using a Mavic Mini 2. But great kit for the summertime and flying your drone.

I was surprised to find that this lens filter kit is packaged in a Neewer brand mailing bag. The filters are enclosed in a plastic protective case in a retail box. You get four focal points, cleaning tissue and the defense shell.
Because the filters are contained in a rigid, transparent storage case, it's easier to take them with you and simply put them in your pocket. The filters are designed to block out light, which can make your photos and videos look too bright. You'll eventually point your drone toward the sun or bright reflections because you're flying it in all directions. By reducing the amount of light that reaches the camera lens, filters allow better exposure of all footage and less glare. Depending on the type of filters you use, they can make colors more vivid and increase contrast.
Simply plug these filters onto your gimbal, which are designed for the Mavic 3 and Mavic Cine drones. They are light enough not to hinder and in no way restrict the movement of the gimbal. Polarization and neutral density are two types of filters that not only improve your colors but also reduce the amount of light that reaches your lens, prevents reflections, and more. Simply plug in a filter and you're ready to go. There is nothing to set up. Thanks to the inclusion of four strengths, you can shoot in a wide range of lighting conditions.
I no longer have to worry about flying over water or in the direction of the sun due to reflections. The image is a bit darker, but the contrast is better and the colors seem to stand out more. It seems like something that can be done in post-production, but if you use a filter, you can do it instantly without having to fiddle with your recorded footage in the software. A cost-effective way to improve the quality of your photos and videos...

Hey I love it but I can’t get it to twist all the way round and lock into place. Anyone else? Perhaps it’s a different fit from what was designed for the Cine etc ?

These are so awesome! Now I think these are an absolute must, because they are a game changer. I really like how this comes with the different levels of filtration, because flying on a sunny day requires a much darker filter, while flying on an overcast day might only need slight filtration. They paid attention to the quality, and it shows! These are so nice!

I've had the DJI Mavic 3 Classic for a long time, mainly to shoot nice pictures and 5K videos while on vacation.
I filmed without filters for a while and was always amazed at the fluctuating quality.
What bothers me the most personally is that I can't properly film against the sun without the glare constantly interfering with the recordings.
The K&F Concept ND/PL filter set seems to be the solution to my problems.
Actually, I wasn't really aware that there was something like this for my drone.
But I wasn't really looking for it either, as I rarely travel with a drone.
You have to emphasize, of course, that the DJI recordings are simply very good even without filters.
But once you've started working with the individual filters, the sometimes extreme difference in the recordings becomes clear.
With the various filters, which are also made very precisely and without optical errors, the images become visually much softer and more uniform.
When shot in direct sunlight, the glare is not so extreme anymore, but rather soft and balanced.
In particular, images in snow or over water with strong reflections improve visibly.
This means I no longer have to edit my films later with my software to reduce reflections and glare.
The filters can be attached with a slight twist and are super secure!
Qualitatively, the filters could also be an original product!
Nothing significant has changed in terms of weight either, as the gimbal control still works very well.
I am 100% convinced of the product and of course I absolutely agree with the selling price of just 60€!

I had actually used the Neewer ND filters for my DJI drones and GoPro for years and was always satisfied with them. Now I've also received this one from K&F for testing my new Mavic. The delivery was done quickly thanks to Amazon.
The filters fit the Mavic 3, as is also available from Neewer. In terms of price, the two sets are not much different. K&F are a few euros cheaper, but also offers quasi-integrated polarization filters. The filters are all well made and sit firmly on the camera housing. Even with lots of action and turbulent scenes, you don't have to worry. The filters remain reliably in place.
The ND filters extend the exposure time in bright sunlight and the pictures simply look much better than without them. There are some good apps that recommend specific ND filters depending on location, season and sun position/time. Lens flares are also largely suppressed when shooting backlighting, which Neewer also does well.
The lenses are easy to clean and come with a case for transport. I can only recommend it. If you are looking for ND filters and don't need the polarization settings, you can also use Neewer. Neewer is on sale from time to time, but unfortunately I don't know about K&F yet. Since they're new to me.
