Enhancing Your DJI Osmo Pocket 3 with Freewell Filters


The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 has garnered significant attention for its impressive features, including a 1-inch CMOS sensor that delivers enhanced depth of field, better low light performance, and superior image quality. While the camera itself is already remarkable, adding filters can further elevate your footage. In this review, we explore the Freewell filter pack designed for the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 and discuss their impact on your video and photography experience.




Why Use Filters with the DJI Osmo Pocket 3?


Filters are essential for controlling exposure and enhancing the visual quality of your footage. The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 typically uses auto exposure, which can result in high shutter speeds, especially in bright conditions, leading to jittery motion in videos. By using filters, you can set a slower shutter speed, achieving smoother, more natural-looking motion.


The Freewell DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Filters Mega 14 Pack


Freewell offers a comprehensive 14-filter pack for the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, including:

  1. Solid ND Filters: ND8, ND16, ND32, ND64, ND128, ND256, and ND1000
  2. Polarized ND Filters: ND8/PL, ND16/PL, ND32/PL, and ND64/PL
  3. Specialty Filters: Snow Mist diffusion filter, light pollution reduction(LPR) filter, and a standalone CPL

These filters are magnetized, making them easy to attach and remove from the Pocket 3's lens. The build quality is top-notch, with each filter constructed from metal and high-quality scratch-resistant glass.


How to Use Filters on the DJI Osmo Pocket 3

  1. Attach the Filter: The filters magnetically attach to the front of the camera, providing a secure fit.
  2. Set Your Exposure:
  1. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to select your resolution and frame rate (e.g., 4K at 24fps).
  2. Swipe in from the right to access the exposure settings and switch to manual mode.
  3. Set your shutter speed to twice your frame rate (e.g., 1/50th for 24fps).
  4. Adjust the ISO to maintain image quality, ideally between 50 and 400.
  5. Check the EV (exposure value) to ensure proper exposure.


Benefits of Different Filters

  1. Solid ND Filters: These reduce the amount of light entering the lens, allowing for slower shutter speeds without affecting the color of your footage. Ideal for achieving natural motion blur.
  2. Polarized ND Filters (ND/PL): In addition to controlling exposure, these filters reduce reflections, enhance clarity, and deepen colors, adding warmth and richness to your images.
  3. Snow Mist Diffusion Filter: Softens the image, reducing clarity for a more cinematic look. However, the quarter-strength filter can be quite strong, leading to noticeable blooming in highlights and a milky appearance in shadows.
  4. Light Pollution Reduction Filter: Useful for night photography or shooting in urban environments to reduce the yellow/orange glow from artificial lights.


Practical Considerations

  1. User Experience: While the filters are easy to attach, they require frequent cleaning due to their small size. Carry a microfiber cloth to keep them smudge-free.
  2. Manual Exposure: Using filters effectively means setting your camera to manual exposure, which can be a hassle if you prefer quick, automatic shooting.
  3. Compatibility: The original Freewell Pocket 3 filters are not compatible with these new lenses due to a different magnetic design.


Conclusion

The Freewell filter pack for the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is a valuable addition for those who want to enhance their footage quality. Whether you choose the comprehensive 14-filter pack or a more focused 8-pack, these filters provide the tools needed to achieve professional-looking videos and photos. If you're serious about getting the best out of your Pocket 3, investing in these filters is a wise decision.



Key Highlights

  1. Easy Attachment: Magnetized filters for quick and secure attachment.
  2. Versatile Pack: Includes a wide range of ND, NDPL, and specialty filters.
  3. Improved Footage: Achieve smoother motion and enhanced colors.
  4. High-Quality Build: Durable metal construction with scratch-resistant glass
