Q3 magnetic filters

Please help. I'm starting to get very frustrated trying to find a filter system for the q3 28.

I'm looking for a solution that offers the following characteristics. 

- magnetic for fast filter changing

- works with a lens hood (such as rhe round style hood)

- isn't astronomically expensive 

- very good image quality

The challenge is that I keep finding a solution that almost works, but there is always some reason I can't use it. For instance, many of the filter systems are great, but they only come in large filter thread sizes. Sure, I might be able to use a step up ring adapter, but then there's no way I could use a hood. 

My goal is to simply leave the magnetic adapter on the camera at all times, which is why it needs to work with the hood. I always shoot with the hood to reduce flare and ghosting. Then when I want to use an ND filter, I can just slap it on the magnetic adapter and we're good to go.

Can anyone recommend a magnetic system that works with the Q3 that is his quality? And that definitely fits the threads using the hood?

I'm using the K&F set I got from Amazon. CPL + different ND filters, in combination with the PolarPro MagFlip hood that just folds down for convenient filter access.

I took a few images already and I would say image quality is great.

I recently decided to go down the same route, and having noted Hudson Henry's YouTube experience with Kase filters, and my own with the same make on my Fuji lenses, went along with them. I swapped the standard lens hood for a Hoage round one, and have the magnetic adaptor with a UV filter left on for general protection all the time. I also have the 3,6 and 10 stop NDs together with a CPL, all in the 49mm size. The CPL wasn't in stock in the UK when I ordered it, but Kase UK arranged for it to be sent over from the States in 4 days. Excellent service, and very well regarded by many authorities as regards quality of product. From my point of view, highly recommended.
