NEEWER 4-Pack ND & Polarizer Filter Set for Insta360 Ace Pro 2 (PL/ND16/ND32/ND64)
Product description
If you film outdoors, “good light” can still be a problem. Too much sun can blow out highlights, and fast shutter speeds can kill the look you’re after. A set of ND and polariser filters is one of the most practical ways to add control without changing your camera setup every time.
This NEEWER 4-Pack ND & Polarizer Filter Set is made for use with the Insta360 Ace Pro 2. On paper it covers the two common outdoor needs: reducing light with ND filters and taming reflections with a PL (polarising) filter, which should help when you’re shooting glass, water, or shiny surfaces.
What these filters are for
The ND filters included are ND16, ND32 and ND64. The stated effect is reducing light by 4, 5 and 6 stops respectively. In practical terms, that means you can use slower shutter speeds and wider apertures (where applicable) to get more creative exposure options, rather than being forced into the camera’s brighter, faster baseline.
The polariser (PL) filter is aimed at minimising glare on non-metal surfaces such as glass and water. It also helps improve saturation and contrast, so skies, foliage and the overall colour look can feel less washed out when reflections are strong.
A simple micro-use example: imagine you’re filming a coastal ride on a bright day. With the PL filter in place, reflections on the water should be reduced, and with the ND filter you can keep exposure under control even when the scene is very bright.
Key points: where it makes a difference day to day
The biggest day-to-day win here is flexibility across lighting conditions. ND16/ND32/ND64 gives you a range of light reduction, so you’re not stuck picking one “always” setting. ND16 suits less extreme brightness, while ND64 is there for when you want stronger light reduction.
The PL filter helps when the scene has glare you can’t really “edit away” later, especially on water and through windows. If you often shoot travel clips, bike rides, beach days or urban driving where reflections are everywhere, this combination is the kind of accessory you’ll actually reach for.
Worth noting though, this set is designed specifically around the Ace Pro 2 lens guard fit. If you own the “updated version” Redesigned Round Octagonal Lens Guard (FL90), the set is not compatible.
What you’ll notice in use
The package emphasises HD multi-layer optical glass. That matters if you care about keeping image clarity and accurate colour, not just darkening the scene. The filters also use coatings on both sides and are described as resistant to water, fingerprints, smudges and scratches—useful when you’re swapping filters with sandy hands, during outdoor shoots, or between quick takes.
The installation approach is a practical one: they’re described as a press-fit accessory that “snaps” into the camera, without needing to remove the original lens. The fit includes anti-slip interiors to keep filters in place.
There’s also a specific handling note for the PL filter: keep the white point facing upwards when using it. It’s a small detail, but it can affect how well the polarisation lines up with your scene.

Pros and cons to weigh up
Strengths you’ll likely value: - A practical 4-pack that covers both ND control and polarisation glare reduction. - The range from ND16 to ND64 gives you more flexibility as conditions change. - The PL note (“white point” upwards) is clear—so you’re less likely to mount it “wrong”. - Coated HD optical glass is aimed at clarity and accurate colour.
Where it may fall short for some buyers: - It’s not compatible with the updated redesigned lens guard (FL90). If you’re not sure which guard you have, it’s worth double-checking before you order. - It’s an accessory set for a specific camera, so you can’t really treat it as a universal upgrade.
When it makes sense to buy it
This is a sensible add-on if you shoot the Insta360 Ace Pro 2 outdoors and want more control over exposure and reflections without changing your workflow. It particularly suits anyone who: - often films in bright daylight and wants more room to use slower shutter looks - shoots through glass, on boats, near lakes, or in situations with glare - likes keeping colours looking punchier when the scene would otherwise look a bit flat
It’s also a good value-for-money approach compared with buying filters one by one—having ND16/ND32/ND64 plus PL in a single set reduces the “guessing” when light changes quickly.
Buying verdict
It’s a solid purchase if you own an Insta360 Ace Pro 2 and you regularly hit bright outdoor light or reflective surfaces, because the ND range plus the PL polariser covers two very common issues in one go.
However, you may want to skip it if you have the updated Redesigned Round Octagonal Lens Guard (FL90), since this set is specifically stated as not compatible. And if your filming is mostly indoors or in consistently controlled lighting, the benefit may feel more limited.
FAQ
Compatibility check: will it fit my camera?
It’s stated as compatible with the Insta360 Ace Pro 2, but not compatible with the updated Redesigned Round Octagonal Lens Guard, FL90. If you’re unsure which lens guard version you have, check that first.
What do ND16, ND32 and ND64 actually help with?
The ND filters reduce light by the stated stops (ND16: 4 stops, ND32: 5 stops, ND64: 6 stops). This gives you more control over exposure when it’s very bright.
Does the polariser affect reflections only?
The PL filter is described as minimising glare on non-metal surfaces like glass and water, and also improving saturation and contrast for more vibrant colour.
Is there a correct way to mount the PL filter?
Yes—there’s a specific note to keep the white point facing upwards when using the PL filter.
Are the filters easy to keep clean?
They’re described as having coatings that resist water, fingerprints, smudges and scratches, and the set is intended to be straightforward to clean during outdoor use.
