Uh, you don't need to keep the sun at 90 degrees for a polarizer to do it's job. A polarizer cuts out the light that is polarized 90 degrees to the filter. Light is typically polarized all in one orientation when it is reflected off a flat surface, like water. When adjusted correctly, a polarizing filter will cut out this light, leaving only the light that has not been reflected off the water. It will also cut out light that is reflected off of anything that happened to also polarize the light horizontally like the water did. This polarized light tends to have the effect of washing out the colors of things. So the effect you will see with a polarizer is that you will tend to see through the surface of water and the colors of things will tend to be richer and more contrasty.
if you've tried polarizers on cameras you'd know that there is a massive difference when you turn it around and you are pointing at an off angle to the sun. The sky can be dark blue or just blue and the reflections on water can either be transparent or not .
Thank Mark. I've done a lot of experimenting with the Polar Pro on my Mavic 2 Pro. I do enjoy some of the polarizing effect in some situations but for the most part I always think and feel in kind of crushes the image and dampens it down considerable. Your first example of the side by side is exactly what I'm talking about. One the reason I did a search today and found this video is because I want to give it some more effort to see if I can get better at using them technically . Heading out now. Thanks.
In my novice perspective, the filtered pics appear to be more rich in color! Overall, another informative video. Love the lush scenery in the beginning!
Considering that these extend a bit beyond the front of the camera I wonder if they help with prop shadowing. Just bought a set using your link....they've come down quite a bit ($40) in price. :-)
hey Mark good to see you again, nice photo buddy the filters for a drone i think it's a thing even that you can edit the images or video later, it is just good to see the result of the image while taking it not later, it's my opinion
ok just to be honest i believe your experience yet with photography and drones is bigger than mine , and i do not own a drone too because they are sooo expansive here in Brazil, but i do have my opinion about removing glare , if you are talking about it in photos or video i do actually like to see some glare if the sun is not so harsh, and about reflections i'm not sure what you mean by a reflections in a drone camera, i'm just a dslr user so talking back about the glare i think maybe you can make a hood for the camera in the drone, maybe you can Diy one with a 3d printing machine or look over it online.

Defiantly richer in colour and less reflections. Much more cinematic.

Yep, I agree! Some photos showed polarization more than others, but overall I’d say the filters did what they’re intended to do.
Considering that these extend a bit beyond the front of the camera I wonder if they help with prop shadowing. Just bought a set using your link....they've come down quite a bit ($40) in price. :-)
I wanted to use a drone to spot fish in a river do you think this filter would help with the glare on the water. Thanks
Yes
Out of an 8 minute video, you only show 30 seconds of the actual polarizing lens…

Thanks - appreciate that! I agree - it’s always good to see the image as close to the end result when you capture it.
i feel like a pro now to know that you think this way hhhhh, looking for more Mrak
Haha! My pleasure! What do you do in post to remove glare and reflections? I’ve never heard of a good way of doing this.

I never realized the amount of polarization can be controlled by rotating the filter!
I don't need the lengthy talk... I just need to see the photo images with all the variables...
