The DJI Pocket 3 is one of the most compact yet powerful handheld gimbals available, combining stunning 4K/120fps video with a 1-inch CMOS sensor and 3-axis stabilization. Whether you're vlogging, shooting travel videos, or capturing cinematic b-roll, the Pocket 3 is an ideal tool for creators on the go.

But to unlock its full potential, you’ll want to equip it with high-quality accessories—particularly ND filters and lens options that elevate your footage and help you adapt to any lighting or shooting scenario. Let’s explore how to take your Pocket 3 content to the next level.

What ND Filters for Osmo Pocket 3?

Neutral Density (ND) filters are essential tools when shooting outdoors or in bright conditions. They reduce the amount of light hitting the sensor, allowing you to maintain a cinematic shutter speed (typically 1/50s or 1/60s for 24 or 30 fps respectively).

The Freewell DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Filters – All Day 8-Pack is a top-tier solution designed specifically for this device. It includes ND8, ND16, ND32, ND64, as well as hybrid ND/PL filters and a CPL filter to help manage glare and reflections. This variety ensures you’re prepared for everything from bright daylight to golden hour shoots.

Benefits of Using ND Filters on the Pocket 3:

• Maintain motion blur for a cinematic look

• Avoid overexposed footage

• Improve dynamic range control

With ND filters, your shots instantly look more polished and professional.

Which Lens for DJI Pocket 3?

While the built-in lens on the Pocket 3 is quite capable, external lenses can dramatically change your shooting style. Whether you're capturing sweeping landscapes, up-close macro shots, or adding cinematic compression, lens attachments can expand your creative freedom.

Check out the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Lenses by Freewell which include:

• Wide-Angle Lens – Great for vlogging and real estate

• Anamorphic Lens – Delivers a cinematic aspect ratio with subtle lens flares

• Macro Lens – Ideal for detailed close-up shots

These magnetic-mount lenses are ultra-portable and snap on effortlessly, making lens changes quick and efficient.

How Do I Know Which ND Filter to Use?

Choosing the right ND filter depends on the light conditions and the frame rate you’re shooting at. Here's a quick guide:

• ND8 – Slightly overcast or early morning light

• ND16 – Bright daylight

• ND32/64 – Harsh sunlight or reflective environments

Use the 180-degree rule as a baseline: your shutter speed should be approximately double your frame rate. If you're shooting at 30fps, your shutter speed should be 1/60s. ND filters help you lock in that shutter speed without overexposing the image.

With the right combination of filters and lenses, your DJI Pocket 3 becomes a powerhouse for mobile cinematography. Stay tuned for more tips, or check out Freewell's full range of accessories designed to unleash your creativity.
