    Which lens filter is best for GoPro3+ black?

    Apparently the ND offsets the shutter on time relative to frame rate for better video so as to reduce jello which I don't think I am getting with my 3 axis BGC + 32 but Alexmos. But I think the Polarizing filter can do that and more, i.e., cut thru glare and increase contrast etc. etc. Most...
