Just wondering: I have an ND8 in-camera filter (similar to yours).
I bought it for the obvious advantages (e.g. one filter for all lenses)
But I hesitate to use it. Afraid I drop it.
Do you change it in the field or at the house?

Domien, regardless of the filter type there always is a risk of dropping it during handling. Don't worry too much, actually the Kase clip-in filter is straight forward to install IMO and I don't hesitate to change it in the field. You only need to make sure not to touch the rear side (inner side towards camera sensor) and that it's dust free like any other filter, too.
Of course to get familiar with the handling of the clip-in filter, it is advisable to first practice at home (in a more safe surrounding)

Your link doesn't work for me, Domien.

Here's another link to the EU Kase site.
Funnily I haven't found any available IR-Filter on their website yet, only ND filters  Would love to try an UWA lens like Voigtländer 10mm or the FE14GM for IR shooting using such camera clip-in filter, so far the widest lens is my Zenitar fish-eye which easily can be adapted to use a M30.5 IR filter instead of the standard M26.5x0.5 rear screw-in filters supplied.

As long as the image quality isn't degraded it's an excellent purchase. A single set of filters for all your lenses.

The ND1000 (ND3.0/10 stops) filter doesn't produce any colour cast/tint or degarde the image quality (used on old first gen a7 as well as latest a7RIVa).

I wonder if it's available for the AF mount.

All the various camera clip-in filters (Kase, Astronomik) I have seen so far always were for full-frame E-mount cameras (FE-mount), seems there are none available for A-mount or APS-C E-mount (yet?!).
