ND Filters: NEO 2 Clip vs Adhesive Magnetic Ring

[NEO_GMAN]

I plan to purchase a set of NEEWER ND Filters (Clip On) for my NEO 2. Any member feedback / comments? Secure? Issues ? I have a similar design/ set for my NEO (K/F Concepts)…works fine !

I have the sunnylife clip on filters and they work good. Just don't buy the magnetic ones as they fall of in minor crashes.

Same here. I have the magnetic ND filters for my Neo 1. Crashed and lost it. I'm done with magnetic. I'll be interested in the clip on ones for my Neo 2

I will repost and update once I have a chance to evaluate the Clip Version from NEEWER. The version I use for my Neo (K&F Concept) works fine …

I ordered the same, just waiting for delivery.

On my OG Neo, I used similar clip on style ND filters and and am very pleased with them.

I finally received my purchase order of the NEEWER ND Filters for the NEO 2. As mentioned earlier, I was a little skeptical about “other” magnetic / adhesive versions.

I have a few remarks to share: (1) The added weight of the ND Filter requires you to power up (at rest) the NEO 2 on a stable / level surface to allow the gimbal to complete its initialization process. (2) Affixing the ND Filter (Clip) takes some practice. Unlike the NEO, there is no “snap or click” to know if the ND Filter is firmly secure in place.

Mechanically speaking, the “clip” design to hold the ND Filter in place depends on the “stiff flex / tension” from the two prongs. Examining and confirming (checking) the placements of these prongs are paramount.

It would have been nice if NEEWER added a lower (bottom) clip to “clamp / pinch” the Filter Optics (frame) in place against the Gimbal assembly for added security…

Enough said — I will report an update after a few sorties !

Managed to warm up enough for me to get an outside flight. The clip on ND filters work well, and feel very securely attached.

Nice pic, and thanks for the update. Still a little chilly here for me to fly. Looks like a couple of days before I fly.

Stay warm

Thank you for the feedback. Yes -- it is so COLD outside (single digit) in NYC (LOL)... I did a few "indoor" sorties in an empty basketball gym. Darn "Clip" didn't fall off . So far so good ! Happy / Safe Flying !
