Deepening and saturating sky tones and such is pretty attainable, but reducing glare and wash is not, unfortunately.

Thanks, Mv. That's what i figured. I just shot some drone video going through and above deep fog to shoot the sun--in a relatively clear blue sky--illuminating the fog below. This particular mix of very bright through misty dark is really tough to pump up. I actually got the best results with Vegas's color curves. It's better, but pretty damn subtle. Looks like i'm going to have to spring for a set of filters for this money pit.

Glad to see you're still here.

May be possible to adapt something with a camera-store filter and lots of electrical tape.

Precise filter rotation is desirable (test first) and turning your drone 90 degrees either way will will negate the polarizing effect.

I spent big money for a circular polarizer for my last camera. Shooting swimmers from the same position throughout the day, sometimes it helps, some times it’s useless. I haven’t bought one for my last camera, yet.

Both Polar Pro and Freewell make filter sets for my drone, and I think both are fairly reliable companies.

Is the front of the drone lens threaded? May find a Tiffen or something off the shelf.
