TELESIN CPL + ND8/16/32 Filter Set for DJI Action 3/4/5
Turn harsh light into clean, cinematic footage.
This TELESIN CPL + ND8/16/32 filter set is a compact, snap-on kit designed specifically for DJI Action 3/4/5 users who shoot in strong sun, around water, snow or glass.
Key Benefits at a Glance
- Cut harsh reflections on water, glass, cars and snow for cleaner, clearer shots
- Keep your DJI Action 3/4/5 properly exposed in bright sun with ND8 / ND16 / ND32
- Create silky waterfalls, smooth waves and natural motion blur in video
- Lightweight aluminium alloy frame with silicone lens contact – built to protect your camera in the field
Why Your Action Camera Needs Filters in Bright Light
Even a great camera like DJI Action 3/4/5 struggles with physics:
- Midday sun blows out skies and kills cloud detail
- Water, snow and wet roads throw bright, distracting reflections into your shot
- Auto exposure pushes shutter speed too high, making motion look unnaturally sharp
- Long-exposure style effects (silky water, empty streets) are nearly impossible in daylight
This CPL + ND filter kit tackles those problems directly at the lens, before the light hits your sensor.

Who This Kit Is For
This filter set is made for creators who:
- Shoot travel vlogs, POV rides, hikes or ski days with DJI Action 3/4/5
- Spend time at beaches, rivers, lakes, cities, snow fields or mountain trails
- Want footage that looks closer to what their eyes see, not overly bright or washed out
- Prefer carrying one compact kit instead of multiple single filters
If you mostly shoot indoors or in low light, you probably don’t need this kit.
If you’re often outside in strong light, this is one of the most effective upgrades you can make.

How CPL and ND Filters Improve Your DJI Action 3/4/5 Footage
CPL – Cutting Glare, Boosting Color
The CPL (circular polarizer) is what you use when reflections ruin your scene:
Reduces glare from water, glass, car bodies, wet roads and snow
Makes skies deeper blue and clouds more defined
Reveals more detail in rocks, foliage and buildings
Prevents distracting hotspots that pull attention away from your subject
How to use it:
Mount the CPL, point your camera at the scene, then slowly rotate the filter while watching the screen. Stop when reflections are minimized and the colors look richest.
ND8 / ND16 / ND32 – Controlling Light and Motion
ND filters act like sunglasses for your lens. They help when:
The image is bright even at minimum ISO
You want smoother motion in video
You want long-exposure style photos in daylight
Quick guide in the field:
|
Lighting Situation |
Recommended Filter |
Typical Result |
|
Slightly bright / thin clouds / late afternoon |
ND8 |
Gentle light reduction, more control over highlights |
|
Clear, sunny day in open areas |
ND16 |
Natural-looking motion, balanced exposure |
|
Midday sun at beach, on snow or near open water |
ND32 |
Protected highlights, smoother waves and waterfalls possible |
Creator tip:
On very bright beaches or snow, many creators stack a CPL + ND32 filter on a DJI Action 3/4/5 to tame reflections and brightness at the same time.
Field-Ready Design and Materials
Optical Glass with Multi-Layer Coating
Each filter uses high-quality optical glass with multi-layer coatings to:
Maintain sharpness from center to corners
Keep colors neutral and accurate, without strong tints
Reduce internal reflections and ghosting
Avoid visible dark corners or heavy vignetting
In short: You gain control over light and reflections without sacrificing image quality.
Aluminium Alloy Frame – Light but Tough
The frame is made from a rigid yet lightweight aluminium alloy:
Adds minimal weight to your DJI Action 3/4/5 setup
Protects the glass from knocks and drops
Features laser-engraved markings (CPL / ND8 / ND16 / ND32) that won’t fade
It looks and feels like a premium part of your camera, not a cheap add-on.
Silicone Lens Contact – Protection Where It Matters
The side that touches your camera lens surround is lined with a silicone protective layer:
Cushions contact to help prevent scratches and scuffs
Helps absorb minor bumps and vibrations
Keeps the filter seated securely, even on helmets, bikes or chest mounts
You can clip filters on and off as needed without worrying about damaging the lens area.
Built Specifically for DJI Action 3/4/5
Secure Snap-On Mount
The filter mounting system is engineered for the DJI Action 3/4/5 front lens:
Align and click installation – no tools or adapters required
Positive, secure fit when fully seated
Fast swapping as light changes, so you don’t miss shots
If you’re used to changing original lens protectors, this will feel familiar and quick.
No Vignetting, No Interference
Low-profile design tuned for Action 3/4/5 field of view
Does not block the front screen, rear screen or buttons
Works with most cages and mounts that leave the front lens area open
Check your cage design: if it fully covers the lens surround, mount the filter first, then slide the camera into the cage.

Quick and Simple to Use
Mounting and Removing the Filter
Align – Hold the filter in front of the DJI Action 3/4/5 lens.
Press – Gently press until it clicks and sits flush with the front of the camera.
Check – Look at the preview to ensure there are no dark corners.
To remove, grip the outer ring and gently pull it away from the camera.
Picking the Right Filter in Seconds
- Scene just slightly too bright → ND8
- Typical sunny outdoor scenes → ND16
- Extremely bright beach, snow or midday sun → ND32
- Strong reflections on water or glass → CPL, optionally stacked with ND
You don’t need to overthink settings: start with this simple rule and adjust if the image is still too bright or too dark.

Optimized FAQ Section for TELESIN CPL + ND8/16/32 Filter Set for DJI Action 3/4/5
Q1: Do I really need this filter set if my DJI Action 3/4/5 already looks good out of the box?
A: Yes, if you often shoot in bright sun, near water, snow or glass. The CPL and ND filters control reflections and light before it hits the sensor, giving cleaner skies, fewer blown highlights and more cinematic motion.
Q2: What is the real difference between the CPL and the ND8/ND16/ND32 filters?
A: The CPL cuts reflections and boosts color; the ND filters (ND8/16/32) only reduce overall light. Use CPL for glare and ND for brightness and motion control—together they handle most outdoor lighting.
Q3: How do I quickly choose between ND8, ND16 and ND32 in the field?
A: Simple rule: ND8 for slightly bright/overcast, ND16 for normal sunny days, ND32 for very bright beach/snow/midday sun. If highlights still clip, go stronger; if too dark, go lighter.
Q4: Will these filters soften my image or add a color cast?
A: The filters use optical glass with multi-layer coatings to keep footage sharp and neutral. Used correctly, there should be no obvious softness and only minimal, easy-to-correct color shift.
Q5: Can I use this TELESIN filter set for both video and still photos?
A: Yes. For video, use ND for natural motion blur and exposure control. For photos, use CPL to kill glare and ND to create silky water, cloud trails or “empty” street effects in daylight.
Q6: Will the filters scratch or damage the lens on my DJI Action 3/4/5?
A: The mount area has a silicone contact layer that cushions the lens surround. As long as you mount and remove the filter gently, it protects rather than harms your camera.
Q7: Are these filters waterproof and safe for rain, snow and sea spray?
A: They’re designed for outdoor use and can handle splashes, rain and snow. Just wipe them dry after shooting, especially near saltwater. For full underwater use, still pair them with a proper dive housing.
Q8: Do the filters work with TELESIN cages, mounts and other accessories?
A: Yes, as long as the cage or mount leaves the front lens area exposed. If your cage wraps around the lens ring, attach the filter first, then place the camera in the cage.
Q9: What if I mostly shoot indoors or in low light—should I still buy this kit?
A: Probably not essential. This kit is designed for strong outdoor light. If you rarely shoot in bright sun or around reflective surfaces, you won’t see its full value.
Q10: What support or guarantee does TELESIN provide for this filter set?
A: If your filter arrives damaged, doesn’t fit as expected or shows abnormal image issues, TELESIN can help with troubleshooting, replacement or return within the stated warranty and policy period.
