NEEWER Snap On ND Filter Set (ND8, ND16, ND32 + CPL) for DJI Osmo Action 3/4/5 Pro
Product description
If you shoot action video and you keep running into bright conditions, ND filters can be a simple fix. This NEEWER Snap On ND Filter Set for DJI Osmo Action 3/4/5 Pro adds ND8, ND16, ND32 and a circular polariser (CPL) in one compact pack, so you can dial down light and manage reflections without swapping setups mid-session.
That said, it’s not a one-size-fits-every-cam accessory. It’s specifically for the Osmo Action 5 Pro/4/3 family and it’s not compatible with Osmo Nano—so it’s worth checking your exact model before you commit.
The essentials
This kit is designed for creators who want more control over exposure in changing outdoor light. The ND filters are meant to reduce the incoming light so you can use longer exposures or keep exposure under control, while the CPL helps cut glare on non-metal surfaces such as glass and water.
In practice, it’s the kind of kit that helps when you’re filming skiing or cycling in strong sun. You can reduce the chance of harsh overexposure, and you’ve also got the tools to create more dynamic motion blur when that’s the look you’re after.
What you’ll notice in use
The filters included are ND8, ND16 and ND32 plus a CPL. The base info gives a useful direction: ND8 reduces light by 3 stops, ND16 by 4 stops, and ND32 by 5 stops. That range is handy because bright conditions don’t always behave the same way—cloud cover, snow glare, or reflective surfaces can all change how much ND you need.
The CPL is there for moments when glare becomes the enemy. Think windscreen reflections on glass, bright water highlights, or simply the extra contrast you sometimes lose when the camera is facing reflective scenes. On paper, the kit is pitched as improving contrast and saturation as well as minimising glare.
One small limitation to keep in mind: ND filters reduce light, so in very low-light situations you may find yourself needing to compensate with your camera’s settings. This set is most at home when there’s plenty of daylight.
Key features that matter for action shooting
NEEWER describes the set as using HD optical glass with multi-coatings on both sides. The claim here is about keeping clarity high and making the glass more resistant to everyday handling issues—water-repellent behaviour, scratch resistance, and protection against fingerprints are all mentioned.
There’s also a snap-on approach. The idea is that you attach the filters quickly to the camera’s original filter mount, and the interiors are described as having anti-slip surfaces to help keep the filters firmly in place.
For action sports, “fast on” is often as important as image quality. If you’re stopping between runs to change conditions, having a pressure-fit style mounting can save time and hassle.

Who it’s for, and who should skip it
It makes sense if you frequently shoot in bright outdoor conditions and you want smoother control over exposure rather than relying entirely on the camera’s auto settings. It’s also a good fit if your content involves reflections—water, glassy surfaces, or bright skies—where a polariser can help lift contrast.
It may not suit you if you have an Osmo Nano (it’s not compatible) or if you mainly shoot in low light where ND would just make things darker. And if you don’t plan on using ND/CPL effects at all, this kit could be more complexity than you need.
Final verdict
Worth considering if you shoot action sports like skiing, cycling, skateboarding, running, or even parachuting and you want to manage brightness and glare without slowing down. The range from ND8 to ND32 covers a lot of real-world daylight situations, and the CPL rounds things out for reflections.
Better avoided if you own an Osmo Nano, or if your typical lighting is dim enough that adding ND would likely force you into less desirable camera settings.
Mini FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is this compatible with DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro, 4 and 3? Yes—compatibility is stated for Action 5 Pro, Action 4, and Action 3.
Does it work with Osmo Nano? No. The listing states it’s not compatible with Osmo Nano.
What are the filters used for? ND8, ND16 and ND32 are for reducing light for exposure control and longer-exposure/motion-blur style effects. The circular polariser (CPL) is for reducing glare on non-metal surfaces like glass and water.
How quickly does the kit attach? It’s described as a snap-on accessory you connect to the camera’s original filter mount.
Is HD multi-coated glass included? Yes—HD optical glass with multi-coatings on both sides is mentioned, along with water-repellent and scratch/fingerprint resistance claims.
