The Polar Pro filters are the ones I've heard people talk about most, and for some reason they're currently way cheaper on Amazon than their own website. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MQUMIQ4/ref=mp_s_a_1_1
Wrong product (https://www.amazon.com/Polar-Pro-Filters-Filters-Cinema-6-Pack/dp/B01MQUMIQ4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483992368&sr=8-1&keywords=polar+pro+mavic) is what OP has.
Fresh into getting into drones, I pick up my Mavic Pro from Target today after work. However, I have a couple hundred hours of experience with R/C flight with airplanes so I've got experience there. I'm flying out to Kauai on vacation tomorrow morning and will be learning all about the new toy while heading out to the island and hopefully be able to get good enough at it to capture some decent shots of the island.
My questions is regarding gymbal filters for the Mavic Pro. I anticipate I'll be in some pretty bright daylight conditions, do I need to pick up some gymbal filters? The very little looking I've done says PolarPro filters are what folks recommend.
Would this 6-pack cover everything I need? I don't know that I would be able to get these in time for my trip tomorrow morning unless I can find a camera shop that carries them.
How important are these filters?
Will I be able to get decent shots / footage without them and edit in post?
Which filters do I need or don't need. I live in Washington so overcast weather is very common. But would love to be able to shoot in direct sunlight and have good results also. Polarized? UV?
Cheers

I saw the 6 pack on Amazon for $80 for a bit while they were out of stock. As soon as they were back in stock the price jumped up to $150 (which is what it's listed for on the PolarPro website).
Is this the set you're referring to? If so, where did you pick it up?

Nice! I picked up these guys. They're really helpful during really sunny days and when I'm shooting at the beach. I also shoot in JPG + RAW so I can color correct the RAW files after. I've got a few more shots on my new instagram. Check it out!
