FAQs

What is the main purpose of the CPL filter?

The Circular Polarizer (CPL) filter is used to reduce or eliminate reflections from non-metallic surfaces like water, glass, and foliage. It also helps to enhance color saturation and contrast, particularly in bright outdoor conditions.

What do the ND numbers (16, 32, 64) mean?

These numbers refer to the 'stops' of light the filter reduces. ND16 reduces light by 4 stops, ND32 by 5 stops, and ND64 by 6 stops. Higher numbers mean more light reduction.

Can I stack these filters?

While it's physically possible to stack filters, it is not recommended as it significantly increases the risk of vignetting and can degrade image quality.

How do I clean the filters properly?

Use the provided microfiber cloth to gently wipe the lens surface. For tougher smudges, use a lens cleaning solution and a clean microfiber cloth, wiping from the center outwards.

Are these filters compatible with other camera models?

No, this specific filter kit is engineered exclusively for the DJI Osmo Nano camera and its 35mm lens thread.

What is the size of the filter thread?

The filter size is 35 mm, designed to fit the DJI Osmo Nano lens.

Does this kit include a carrying case?

Yes, the kit includes a carrying case to protect the filters during transport and storage.

Troubleshooting

Vignetting (dark corners) in footage

This can occur at very wide focal lengths. Try zooming in slightly or check that the filter is fully seated on the lens. The slim design minimizes this, but it's still a possibility.

Filters are difficult to attach or remove

Ensure you are aligning the filter correctly with the lens thread. Avoid forcing the filter. If it feels stuck, gently try to unscrew it by turning it counter-clockwise. Clean the lens threads if they appear dirty.

Image appears to have a color cast

The multi-coated optical glass is designed to be neutral. Ensure the filter is clean. If a color cast persists, it might be related to camera white balance settings rather than the filter itself. Try recalibrating your camera's white balance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively reduces glare and unwanted reflections with the CPL filter.
  • Provides multiple levels of ND filtration for versatile exposure control.
  • Maintains neutral color balance and high image quality.
  • Slim design minimizes the risk of vignetting.
  • Comes with essential accessories like a case and cleaning cloth.

Cons

  • May not be suitable for very wide-angle shooting due to potential minor vignetting.
  • Filters require careful handling to avoid scratches on the optical glass.
  • Not compatible with cameras other than the DJI Osmo Nano.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This filter kit is designed exclusively for the DJI Osmo Nano camera. Ensure your camera model matches before attempting to attach the filters.

Setup:

  1. Carefully remove the desired filter from its case.
  2. Align the filter with the front of the DJI Osmo Nano lens.
  3. Gently screw the filter onto the lens thread until it is snug. Do not overtighten.
  4. For the CPL filter, rotate the outer ring to adjust the polarization effect.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use the included microfiber cleaning cloth to gently wipe the filter surface. For stubborn smudges, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for optical glass. Always wipe from the center outwards.
  • Storage: Store the filters in the provided carrying case when not in use to protect them from dust, scratches, and damage.
  • Handling: Avoid touching the optical glass surface with your fingers. Handle filters by their edges.
