Ok so it’s well known that the Polar Pro filters are arguably the best. A couple of months ago when I decided to get some I loaded up the rainforest buying place and was flicking through and there was a set at a quarter of the price of the Polar Pro’s called MIAO, £20 for a set of 4. Good reviews however not many reviews but for the money saving I bit the bullet. I think they’re great, they do the job which I set out to achieve. Zero issues whatsoever.
Fast forward to now and I’m wondering whether I should’ve spent the extra on the ‘best’ ones. I’m quite happy to sell on my current ones and upgrade but my question is, is it worth it? Isn’t a filter just a filter?
If it suits your needs and your happy with the results then why upgrade.
It probably doesn’t make much of a difference on a small sensor like the mavics.
It may come down to issues like longetivity and how durable the coatings are.
Personally I would probably just stick to the ones you have or if you really want polar pros get the vivid collection which are polarised and use alongside your existing ones
I am also using the MIAO filters and have found them to be excellent. I have done some brief testing with/without the filters and can’t see any colour cast or degradation of image quality (although I haven’t gone pixel peeing either).
So, I would say they are pretty good and excellent for the money. As you aren’t seeing problems I would stick with them!
