Product description
The essentials
If you film outdoors a lot, sooner or later you’ll run into the same headache: bright light forces you to compromise on exposure, and glare makes scenes look flatter than they should. This SmallRig ND Filter Kit for DJI Osmo Action 6 is built to tackle that, using a set of snap-on ND filters plus a CPL option, along with a soft silicone lens cover for storage and travel.
On paper, it’s the kind of pack that covers most “daylight to creative long-exposure” needs without making you buy a bigger collection. You get ND8, ND16, and ND32 for reducing light by different amounts, plus a CPL (polarising) filter for cutting reflections and improving clarity—useful when you’re near water, filming through windows, or trying to tame shiny surfaces.
What it’s for (and how you’d use it)
The practical goal is simple: control how much light reaches your camera so you can keep your footage looking more natural and less washed out. ND filters are commonly used to balance exposure in bright conditions, and the range here is positioned for light-to-strong daylight scenarios.
A micro-scenario: you’re on a coastal walk, the sun is high, and the water is dazzling. Swapping in the CPL filter can help reduce glare, so the water and distant details look clearer. Later in the trip, when the light is still strong but you want a more creative look, moving to an ND option (like ND32 for longer exposure effects, as described) gives you a way to keep things under control.
It’s also designed for everyday convenience. The kit uses a snap-on (pressure) installation, so you don’t need to remove the camera’s lens for fitting the filters.
Key takeaways
Where it shines in real use
The strongest angle of this kit is the combination of coverage and convenience. Having ND8, ND16, and ND32 in one pack means you’re not constantly second-guessing which filter matches the lighting. Add the CPL and you’re better equipped for reflective environments, including underwater shooting and scenes filmed through windows (as stated in the description).
The kit also leans into image consistency: it uses “full spectrum” technology to reduce light uniformly across wavelengths, aiming to minimise colour cast. Coupled with multi-coated optical glass on both sides, the idea is that you should get more realistic colour and steadier contrast—especially when you’re dealing with diffuse light and glare.
A note worth taking seriously: the filters are described as water- and oil-resistant, plus designed for easier maintenance. That’s not just marketing language in situations where spray and fingerprints happen, it can genuinely make kit management less of a chore.
Where it may feel a bit less impressive: without any stated step-by-step workflow, it’s on you to choose the right ND level for your scene. If you expect a “set-and-forget” solution with automatic settings guidance, this is more of a manual control kit—dependence on your shooting conditions is still part of the deal.

What to check before you buy
A couple of buying checks that can save hassle later. First, confirm that this kit is genuinely the right fit for your DJI Osmo Action 6 setup, since the description is specifically designed for that model.
Second, think about your typical scenes. If you mainly shoot in consistently controlled light or you rarely deal with harsh reflections, you may not use the CPL much. Likewise, if your priority is only one lighting scenario, carrying three ND strengths might be more than you need.
Finally, consider how you like to work. Snap-on convenience is great, but you still need to swap filters as conditions change if you want the best results from exposure control.
Is it worth it?
It’s worth considering if you own a DJI Osmo Action 6 and you want a compact way to manage bright daylight exposure (ND8/ND16/ND32) while also having a polarising option (CPL) for glare control around water, windows, and reflective surfaces. The inclusion of lens silicone protection for travel also makes it feel more “ready to take out” than standalone filters.
You may want to skip it if your filming is mostly in low, even lighting where ND filters won’t come into play often, or if you prefer only one filter strength rather than a small range. It may not be a great match if you’re looking for a system that removes the need to choose and swap filters entirely—this kit still relies on you selecting the right filter for the scene.

You get five in total: CPL plus ND8, ND16, and ND32.
Is it easy to attach?
The kit is described as snap-on / pressure fit, and it’s designed so you don’t need to remove the lens to install the filters.
What is the CPL filter meant for?
The description says it helps remove reflections and can improve clarity under water and through windows.
Does the kit help with colour accuracy?
It’s described as using full spectrum technology to reduce light uniformly across wavelengths, aiming to minimise colour tints and support realistic colour reproduction.
Is there any protection included for travel?
Yes—there’s a soft lens silicone cover included for protecting the lens during storage and transport.
