Product description
Quick overview
If you shoot a lot in changing daylight, a variable ND filter can be the difference between settling for “good enough” exposure and getting the look you actually want. This NEEWER Magnetic ND Filter Set is built around fast magnetic snapping onto the lens of DJI Osmo Pocket 4 or Pocket 3, with a variable neutral density range (ND2-32) plus a CPL polariser and a 1/4 black diffusion filter. On paper, it’s aimed at creators who want quicker on-the-go filter changes without fussing with threading.
It’s also a bundle rather than a single filter: you get the relevant lens filters, and two tempered glass screen protectors for the Pocket’s display. That’s a nice practical touch, though the exact “win” depends on how careful you are with your gimbal storage and whether you use any wide angle/macro options.
Key takeaways
The standout idea here is magnetic installation for quick swapping, paired with creative control:
- A variable ND2-32 filter for adjusting light reduction so you can slow shutter speeds or open up the aperture for motion blur and shallower depth-of-field (where your setup supports it).
- A CPL (circular polariser) to reduce reflections from non-metal surfaces like water or glass, which can help landscape shots feel more punchy.
- A 1/4 black diffusion filter to soften skin texture appearance and smooth highlights and flares for a more “cinematic” vibe.
- Two tempered glass screen protectors intended for the camera display.
Where it may feel less straightforward: the CPL typically decreases exposure (the product notes it can be around one stop), and the instructions also include specific cautions around protective films and filter use with wide angle/macro lenses.
Where it shines in everyday shooting
In bright conditions, variable ND is usually the first filter you reach for—especially when you’re filming clouds, streams, ocean scenes or any movement where you’d like a smoother, more controlled motion look. With ND2-32, you’re not locked to one light-reduction level, so you can ride the exposure as clouds pass or the sun changes behind buildings.
There’s also a clear “look” use case for the diffusion filter. If your footage includes faces, the 1/4 black diffusion effect is designed to soften the appearance of pores, wrinkles, and freckles, while keeping highlight flares more dreamy and reducing contrast. It’s not subtle magic—think of it as a deliberate aesthetic option rather than something you’d keep on every single shot.
What to watch out for before you buy
This set comes with a couple of important limitations worth taking seriously:
- Lens protective film: the instructions state that if a protective film is applied to the lens, it may interfere with gimbal storage.
- Don’t apply protective film when using wide angle/macro lenses or when using ND/CPL/other filters. That’s a “follow the rule” situation—otherwise you risk storage or fit issues.
- Wide angle lens pairing: when attached to the Pocket 4 or Pocket 3, the wide angle lens cannot be used together with ND, CPL, or other filters.
In other words, it’s not just “add filters and forget it”. If you regularly use wide angle/macro, or you prefer to keep protective films on the camera setup, you may want to consider whether this set fits your workflow.
Tech summary
- Name: NEEWER Magnetic ND Filter Set compatible with DJI Osmo Pocket 4 & Pocket 3
- Type: Magnetic snap-on filter set (filters designed for the action camera lens)
- Neutral density: Variable ND2-32 with fine-grained exposure control, noted as cutting light by five stops (as described by the product)
- CPL: Circular polariser filter, product notes it can significantly decrease exposure (typically around one stop)
- Diffusion: 1/4 black diffusion filter to soften facial texture and refine highlights/flare
- Included protection: Two tempered glass screen protectors for the camera display
Who it’s for (and who should skip it)
It makes sense if you want a compact way to change looks and exposure control on the Pocket 3/4—particularly for daylight filming where you’d like motion blur and more cinematic highlight behaviour without manually handling screw-on filters.
It may not suit you if you heavily rely on the wide angle lens together with additional filters, or if you’re determined to keep a protective film on the lens area for every situation. The storage and pairing guidance is quite specific, so if you prefer a no-conditions setup, this set could end up being more hassle than help.
In the box & practical checks
The bundle includes the magnetic lens filters mentioned (variable ND2-32, CPL, and the 1/4 black diffusion effect) plus two tempered glass screen protectors for the display.
Before you order, it’s worth doing two quick checks: - Confirm you’re comfortable following the protective film guidance from the instructions, especially around gimbal storage. - Plan for whether you’ll be using wide angle/macro lenses, the set can’t be used with the wide angle lens alongside ND/CPL/other filters.
Is it worth it?
Worth buying if you want variable ND and creative filter options for brighter outdoor scenes, and you like the idea of magnetic, quick installation on your Pocket 3/4. The included screen protectors add practical value, and the ND/CPL/diffusion mix covers a few common “creator looks” rather than just one job.
Skip it if you regularly shoot with the wide angle lens and expect filters to stack without restrictions, or if you don’t want to think about lens protective films and storage fit. In that case, the limitations may outweigh the convenience.
Mini FAQ
Does the CPL require exposure compensation?
The product notes that the circular polarising filter significantly decreases exposure, typically by one stop, so you may need to adjust to avoid underexposure.
Will the ND help with motion blur?
It’s intended for light reduction so you can use slower shutter speeds or larger apertures to create motion blur in dynamic scenes like clouds, streams, and oceans.
Are the included screen protectors for the lens?
No—two tempered glass screen protectors are included for the camera’s display screen.
Can I use a protective film on the lens with these filters?
The instructions warn that lens protective film may interfere with gimbal storage, and they also advise not applying protective film when using wide angle/macro lenses or ND/CPL/other filters.
Will it work with the wide angle lens?
The instructions state the wide angle lens cannot be used together with ND, CPL, or other filters when attached to the Pocket 4 or Pocket 3.
