Osmo Action 4 - Telesin ND Filters - a good idea!

The DJI Osmo Action 4 is a great camera! When following the 180 rule (your recording speed is set at double your frame rate) for your video recordings, I show the value of both a CPL and three ND filter strengths. The particular ND set I used in the video is the TELESIN 4-Pack with a CPL, ND 8, ND 16 and ND32.

Do I really need 4 of those filters? What about if I purchase just the 1/16?

[@markexploringnewstuff]

It really depends on the brightness surrounding and your desire to maintain the 180 degree rule. I use the ND 16 and ND 32 the most. Hope that helps. Thank you for watching.

Is there any difference between these and dji nd filter?

[@markexploringnewstuff]

I have used DJI filters in the past without issue. Both DJI and Telesin are quality glass with same installation method. The DJI ND filter set has three filters an ND8, ND16 and ND 32 at a cost of $59 US. While the Telesin ND set has 4 filters a CPL, ND8, ND16 and ND32 at a cost of $35.99 US. Got the CPL with the Telesin plus saved over $20 US, with no drop off in quality. Thanks for watching. Enjoy!

Do you have any idea what should i put a range for my ISO with nd filter? I am using it for motovlogging. Thank you so much!

[@markexploringnewstuff]

I have my ISO set for the range 100-6400 regardless of using or not using ND filters. I find the Action does ok with higher ISO values. Using an ND (if you have fixed the shutter speed) will force the ISO to go down. Thanks for watching and commenting. Stay well,

@@markexploringnewstuff thank you! 🙏

As a fisherman, i use polarized glasses all the time. I learnt that if you rotate phone in front of them it will change how well you see the screen. I suggest you do the same with CPL filter. I have same camera as you do and that is what i did to determine best polarization position for my filter. In my case mark has to be around 11o'clock

I think in case of off-road racing this type of filters will drop after the several jumps

[@markexploringnewstuff]

Yes I agree OscarDelta013, the screw on filters are must “safer” for off-road racing. When using them you must b aware to maintain water tightness. Thanks for commenting and watching. Stay well,

[@MrNAMASTE1968]

Great video! The slide on factor is definitely a selling point for me. I've looked at other nd filters, and I don't think the quality is all that different.

[@markexploringnewstuff]

Slide on is the way to go. Thanks for watching. Stay well

Good review Mark. 16 definitely the best for that scenario. Tim in Dublin Ireland 😊

Like to see this test without using the lens hood cover to remove that extra layer of glass… are the open lens attachment that comes with the Action 4

[@markexploringnewstuff]

Other model of ND filters are available that require the lens hood cover be removed to fit on, I went with the over- hood type for convenience. I was concerned about impact that repeated removal of Action hood may have on waterproofing. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. Be well.

[@davidpoo66]

I have the customized preset C settings, what happens if i use the nd filters? Thx!😊

[@markexploringnewstuff]

That depends, assuming your customized C setting fixes a speed, given the fixed aperture of the Action 4 - your ISO will do down. The need for NDs is created when the ISO goes to its lowest setting possible, if you don’t change speed (increase it) the video with be all blown out. The ND’s help reduce the ISO. Your custom setting wont change - but they may be over-exposed. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers!

[@arkadiuszchopik9147]

No. Filter nd is not good idea. Inform people about consequence with lack of good stabilisation as it can be just waste of money after this recommendation

[@markexploringnewstuff]

Using an ND depends on the situation. Sometimes having the cinematic motion blue is not what the situation calls for and a lower shutter speed is not preferred, in those cases go without the ND and let the shutter speed climb. ND are just another tool available in the photographers tool kit. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@gabytro]

@@markexploringnewstuffso when ARE thise filters needed? I don t think u shoot interviews with the action cam so..?

[@markexploringnewstuff]

ND are often required on bright sunny days or to enhance colors. The only alternative is to really increase your recording speed and see it that helps. ND’s are like sunglasses you use them, squint or just look away. Be well,

[@nerucheung]

NDs are fine when you have enough light and do casual vlogging on foot, but would recommend removing the ND and use higher shutter speed when doing fast action
