NEEWER ND/CPL Filter Set for DJI Osmo Action 3 (HD optical glass ND8/PL to ND64/PL + CPL), pack of 5
Product description
The essentials
If you shoot DJI Osmo Action 3 in bright, reflective conditions, a filter set can make a noticeable difference rather than just “tinkering”. This NEEWER ND/CPL pack is designed to give you multiple ND/PL options plus a CPL, so you can control exposure and reflections when you’re outdoors—think fast-moving sports in high sun, or scenes with water and glass where glare is the enemy.
On paper, it’s a sensible kit for people who want flexibility without buying separate filter types. The set covers several ND/PL strengths (ND8/PL through ND64/PL), and the filters are made from HD optical glass with multi-layer nano coatings. There are also practical build details: a lightweight aluminium frame and a protective layer on the filter glass. That said, it’s still a basic “on-the-go” filter kit—if you’re extremely sensitive to colour neutrality or use very specific grading workflows, you may want to compare more premium filter systems.
Key features that matter in real shooting
The kit combines two jobs in one approach: reducing light (ND/PL) and dealing with reflections/glare (PL/CPL).
ND/PL options for exposure control
You can pick an ND/PL filter depending on how bright the day is and what look you’re after. The included options are: - ND8/PL (3 stops) - ND16/PL (4 stops) - ND32/PL (5 stops) - ND64/PL (6 stops)
You’re not locked into one setting. For example, on a clear morning ride you might start with something moderate, then move up to a stronger ND/PL as the sun intensifies. The ND/PL concept also lets you rotate the filter to fine-tune glare and contrast.
Polarising filter for clearer colour and less glare
The CPL filter is meant to improve clarity and colour while avoiding unwanted reflected light from water or glass. The kit also frames its use as helping “raise the blue sky” and bring out white clouds, which is exactly the sort of visual lift many people want in outdoor video and photos. It’s not magic—polarisation behaves differently depending on your angle to the sun—but it’s a useful tool.
HD optical glass with multi-layer nano coatings
The filters are described as dual sided HD optical glass, with multi-layer nano coatings for performance against dust, scratches, water, oil and fingerprints. In everyday terms, that’s the kind of protection you appreciate when you’re packing gear in a kit bag, shooting in misty conditions, or constantly touching filters to swap between ND strengths.
One more practical point: the filter itself is positioned as a protective layer for the action camera lens. That won’t replace careful handling, but it’s helpful for outdoor use.
Lightweight aluminium frame
Each filter is stated to weigh only 0.15oz (4.3g), with a CNC machined and polished aluminium frame. The idea here is that the filters should attach and detach easily and not add too much bulk on adventures. For action camera owners, that lightweight factor matters more than you’d think—especially if you’re carrying spares.
What you’ll notice day to day
In bright conditions, the biggest benefit is steadier exposure choices. ND filters are used to reduce exposure across different stops, and pairing that with polarisation means you can also manage glare and contrast.
A practical example: imagine filming skateboarding outdoors on a sunny pavement day. Without filters, you can end up with washed highlights and reflections bouncing off shiny surfaces. With an ND/PL filter in place, you have more control over brightness and can rotate the polarisation to reduce glare, helping the footage look more “readable” rather than overly contrasty in the wrong places.
It’s also a decent kit for travel days where you’re doing mixed activities—mountain biking, skiing, skydiving or general summer walking—because you’re not just relying on one fixed filter.

Care & limitations to keep in mind
It’s worth being realistic about what this kind of filter can and can’t do. Polarising filters depend heavily on your shooting angle relative to the sun, so results can vary from shot to shot. Also, the kit is focused on outdoor glare and exposure control, if your priority is ultra-consistent colour for demanding grading, you’ll want to compare options rather than assume “works in every scenario”.
Finally, while the coatings are described as helping against dust, scratches, water, oil and fingerprints, coated filters are still filters—you’ll get better results by keeping them clean and storing them properly between swaps.
Who it suits (and who should skip it)
It makes sense if you regularly shoot DJI Osmo Action 3 outdoors in bright light and reflections, and you want a compact set that covers several ND/PL strengths plus a CPL for extra control. If you’re shooting fast sports, you’ll likely appreciate the ability to rotate the ND/PL filter for glare/contrast tuning rather than changing your whole setup.
It may not suit you as well if you mainly film indoors, in consistent low light, or you rarely run into glare from water/glass. In those cases, you might not use enough of the ND/PL range to justify carrying the full pack.
Is it worth it?
If you want an ND/CPL Filter Set compatible with DJI Osmo Action 3, this NEEWER pack is a practical value-for-money choice on paper: multiple ND/PL strengths, a dedicated CPL, HD optical glass with protective coatings, and a lightweight aluminium frame that’s built for action-style swapping.
You should buy it if your footage often suffers from bright highlights or reflective glare, and you want flexibility across different light levels without buying separate filter types. You may want to skip it if you mostly shoot in situations where you’re not fighting exposure or reflections, because the extra filters won’t add much.
If you’re the kind of creator who likes to adjust filters quickly while out shooting, this kit is likely to be more than just “nice to have”. If you’re chasing the most controlled, perfectly repeatable colour/contrast for high-end post-production, treat it as a solid mid-range outdoor tool and compare before committing.
