For the DJI Osmo Pocket 3

ND Filters That Fit the DJI Osmo Pocket 3

Filters are one of only two things DJI leaves out of both boxes, which makes this a rare category where a Creator Combo owner and a standard-box owner are in exactly the same position. It is also the best defined interface on the camera. DJI publishes the filter as a magnetic rectangular plate measuring 22.10 x 15.89 mm, and every serious third-party maker builds to that footprint, so whether a filter is the right shape is a checkable question rather than a guess.

One thing to get out of the way first, because it sends people to the wrong products constantly: there is no filter thread on this camera, in any diameter. Listings that quote a thread size and surface in Osmo Pocket 3 searches are screw-in filters for other cameras, and one of them is below with the reason attached. What is genuinely unresolved is not the fit but the stacking: whether you can run a filter and the wide-angle lens together, and whether the gimbal still retracts with anything on the face. DJI has never published a word about either, the sellers answer both and disagree, and this page lays out who says what.

DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Magnetic ND Filters Set

The only filter set whose dimensions and weight DJI publishes itself, which makes it the reference every third-party plate is built to match, and it is in neither box so nobody owns it already.

Stock was very thin at check time. Note DJI publishes no holding force for the lens-face magnets, so nobody, including DJI, has stated what will or will not stay attached in wind or motion.

SMALLRIG 4774 Magnetic ND Filters Set

The seller states each filter weighs 1.5 g and is "designed to work perfectly compatible with Pocket 4 / 3 without hindering gimbal storage". That gimbal-storage claim is the seller's.

An owner on r/osmopocket who bought that exact set reports the opposite outcome, that the gimbal cannot close with any of the filters attached. Both are recorded here because DJI publishes nothing that settles it. The filters mount: what is disputed is what happens when you power the camera down with one on.

What to check before you buy

The fit is the easy part. The rest is about how you shoot.

  • Fixed or variable. DJI sells three fixed densities and no variable filter at all. Variable ND is the one thing the third parties offer that DJI does not, and it is why most people end up looking past the first-party set.
  • Which end of the range you need. DJI starts at ND16. One set here starts a stop lighter, which matters if you shoot anywhere other than open sun.
  • Whether you want a polariser. DJI does not sell one for this camera. Several third-party kits include one alongside the same densities DJI ships.
  • Handling. These plates are tiny and they attract fingerprints. One set has a tab on the frame so you never touch the glass, which sounds like a detail until you have cleaned one in the field.
  • Read the instruction bullet, not the adjectives. The most useful listing in this category is the one that prints do-not-do instructions rather than claims.

Stacking and gimbal closure: our recorded position

This is the question owners ask most and the one nobody has answered properly, so here is exactly where the evidence stands and what we are willing to say.

DJI publishes nothing. Not on whether a filter and the wide-angle lens can be mounted at the same time, and not on whether the gimbal retracts and the protective cover closes with a filter attached. The manual gives the filter and the lens separate storage slots inside the cover, which is a hint and is not a compatibility statement.

The sellers answer it, and they disagree. One brand prints do not stack filters and lenses, and remove the lens before turning off the camera. Another says its filters are gimbal-friendly and compatible with the gimbal. A third claims its thinner glass fixes a problem with DJI's own filters obstructing the camera locking in, which is an accusation against the first-party part that DJI has never addressed. A fourth, writing about a different Pocket generation, says flatly that stacking will damage the gimbal.

Owners report brand-specific outcomes. An owner of the variable set advertised as gimbal-friendly reports the gimbal cannot close with any of those filters attached. In the dedicated stacking thread, one owner stacks two filters from one brand successfully but has to remove them before powering down, and another reports that filters from different brands do not stack because the magnets sit in different places.

What we will say. Filters mount, and that is not in dispute. No stacking claim on this camera is verifiable, and nothing about gimbal closure has a source stronger than a seller bullet or a single owner. If you buy on the basis that you can leave a filter on and shut the camera in its cover, you are relying on a claim no manufacturer has stood behind. Take the filter off before you power down and none of this matters.

What we could not verify

The stacking and gimbal-closure question above is genuinely open and it is the biggest gap on this camera. Two smaller ones sit alongside it. DJI publishes no holding force for the lens-face magnets, so nobody can tell you whether a filter stays put in wind, at speed or on a moving mount, and we have not repeated any seller who implies otherwise. And DJI publishes no interface tolerance for the plate, only its own plate dimensions, so a third-party filter matching the footprint on paper is a good sign rather than a guarantee. If you own any of these sets and have tested what closes and what does not, that is exactly the evidence this page is missing.

Questions owners ask

What filter thread size does the Osmo Pocket 3 use?

None. It has no filter thread of any diameter. Filters attach magnetically to the lens face as a rectangular plate that DJI publishes at 22.10 x 15.89 mm, and the lens itself is not interchangeable.

Can I stack a filter and the wide-angle lens?

DJI has never published an answer. Several sellers instruct against stacking and against powering the camera down with anything attached, one advertises the opposite, and owners report brand-specific results. There is no verifiable answer, so we are not giving you one.

Do ND filters come with the Creator Combo?

No. Filters are one of only two things DJI leaves out of both boxes, the other being a memory card. The Combo adds seven items over the standard box and no filter is among them.

Does DJI sell a variable ND filter for the Pocket 3?

No. DJI ships a fixed set of three densities plus a separate black mist diffusion filter. Every variable ND for this camera is third party, which is the main reason people shop outside the DJI range.

What does the 1/4 in black mist filter refer to?

Diffusion strength, not a thread. It is a quarter-strength black mist. The other 1/4 on this camera is the tripod thread on the handle, and the two have nothing to do with each other.
