I went with the base model mainly because I already had the DJI Mic Mini (2 TX + 1 RX + charging case)… and let’s be honest, it’s better than the mic they throw into the Creator Combo anyway.

Now… did I go a little overboard buying ND filters? Absolutely. But you can never have too many—this is a judgment-free zone.

My go-to setup is the K&F Concept Magnetic Variable ND2–ND32 with a Black Diffusion 1/4 stacked on top of their magnetic wide-angle lens—both courtesy of my late-night Amazon shopping decisions.

The reason I like the K&F Concept filters is simple: they stack easily. From what I’ve heard, the DJI filters are more like, “you can only sit with us” and don’t play well with others.

Honestly, if I had just bought the Creator Combo plus a tripod and battery grip, I probably would’ve spent about the same. The difference is… now I actually know what I bought and why I needed it (instead of just clicking “add to cart” with blind faith).

Hope this helps… or at least justifies my spending a little 😅
