NEEWER Magnetic ND Filter Set for DJI Osmo Pocket 4 & 3 (6 Pack) with CPL & UV Filters
Product description
What it is
The NEEWER Magnetic ND Filter Set is designed for DJI Osmo Pocket 4 and Pocket 3, offering a practical assortment of four ND filters (ND16, ND32, ND64, ND256), a circular polarising filter and a UV filter. It uses a magnetic attachment to swap filters quickly while aiming to keep the camera gimbal balanced. Two cleaning cloths are included for on-the-go maintenance.
How it helps your photography
ND filters reduce light by 4, 5, 6 and 8 stops respectively, providing more precise exposure control in bright conditions and enabling expressive motion blur in scenes with motion. The CPL filter helps curb glare from water, glass and non-metallic surfaces, boosting colour saturation and contrast. The UV filter protects the lens from scratches, dust and haze, adding a simple line of defence during outdoor shoots. The kit prioritises lightweight design (around 1.62 g per filter) to avoid upsetting gimbal balance.
What to know before you buy
On wide-angle use with Pocket 4 or Pocket 3, the manufacturer advises avoiding ND, CPL and other filters for optimum results in certain shots. Consider whether you frequently shoot in high-contrast daylight or reflective surfaces, where the ND and CPL can shine. If you rely on the Osmo Pocket’s small form factor, you’ll appreciate the minimal weight, but be aware that magnetic mounting may feel less tactile than screw-in options in cold or windy conditions.
Who it’s for
This set suits creators who aim to extend exposure control for outdoor video and photography with the Osmo Pocket 4 or 3, while keeping gear simple and lightweight. It’s particularly appealing if you want a compact, ready-made kit with multiple ND options plus protective filters.
What it isn’t the best for
If you prioritise absolute maximum optical purity or the most rugged build, a more premium, heavier filter system may be preferable. Also, if you frequently shoot macro or ultra-wide scenes, you might find filters less critical, or the ND choices less applicable.
Buying considerations
Check compatibility with your Osmo Pocket model and Creator Combo accessories. If you shoot a lot in glare-heavy environments (sun on water, glass façades), the CPL and ND options will be more useful. If you seldom shoot in bright light, you might not need all four ND stops, so consider which densities align with your typical exposure needs.
Practical usage example
Imagine filming a coastal surfing scene on a bright afternoon. You could switch to ND64 or ND256 to manage exposure while allowing smoother motion blur, then toggle to CPL to reduce surface glare on wet rocks and water, all without fumbling with multiple lens caps. The included cleaning cloths help keep the glass clear between takes.

FAQ
- Do the filters affect image sharpness? The set uses HD optical glass with coatings designed to maintain clarity, though any filters can introduce slight artefacts if misused.
- Can I use wide-angle settings with these filters? The manufacturer cautions against or to avoid certain combinations in wide-angle use for optimal results.
- Are the magnets strong enough in windy outdoor conditions? The design emphasises quick changes with minimal added weight, in extreme conditions, ensure the mount remains clean and free of debris.
Is it worth it?
It’s worth considering if you want a compact, lightweight way to expand exposure control on the Osmo Pocket 4/3 without adding bulk. If you primarily shoot in varied outdoor light and glare-heavy scenes, the ND and CPL options can be genuinely helpful. If your typical shoots are indoors or in consistently lit environments, you may not need the full set.
