Filter on gopro+h3-2d gimbal

[JCcreative]

So i've been flying around with a gopro on an h3-2d gimbal, and i would love to throw a polarizer filter on.

I was looking at this: http://www.polarprofilters.com/shop/hero3polarizeraccessory/

Question is, will this throw off the gimbal? i'm not sure how much play there is in the balancing of the gimbal.

I want to get some polarization for my GoPro as well. I've been taking the kids on some ski trips and the reflection off the snow can be rough.

I forget where I saw them (Amazon or eBay) but I found some little filters that you put over the lens before you put it in the case. So, the filter gets squeezed between the lens and the case. It came with 3 different filters and if I recall it was maybe $15. Not as fancy as this one, but it probably will react the same underneath the heli as having no filter.

Did some searching, I think this is what I was thinking. Not fancy, but for $10 not bad:

Cool, yeah since the camera is on the gimbal its not in a case, so i would need something that just mounts onto the lens like the one i linked to.

I'm hoping it will work with this protective lens:

Ah, very cool! I'll have to grab a few of those gopro protective lenses just to have around!

a friend of mine got the filter and can't run it, said he tried counter balancing it but it wasn't the same

they make a big difference in jello..... a lot cleaner look in the sun

Haha so what you're saying is yes, polarizers make aerial video look awesome, but no, it wont work on the gimbal? Darn!

Dont know about the Zen but I use the polarpro naked ND on an Aeroxcraft brushless with no issues at all.
