K&F Concept Snap-On Filter Set for DJI Osmo Action 3/4/5 Pro – Unboxing and First Impressions

The funny thing about shooting with the DJI Osmo Action 3, 4, or 5 Pro is that you don’t truly appreciate filters until you’re out there in real light — the harsh, unpredictable kind that ruins a perfect take. I’ve had days where the sun washed out everything, turning what should’ve been a beautiful ride or a clean piece of B-roll into a shiny mess. And honestly, there’s something satisfying about snapping a filter on and watching the whole image transform right in front of you. ✨

That’s exactly what ran through my head as I unboxed the K&F Concept 6-Pack Snap-On Filter Kit this morning. The case alone feels like something designed for real creators — compact, protective, and ready to toss into a backpack without stressing. When I lifted each filter out of the foam, it felt like handling a set of tiny creative tools that could open up new looks, new shots, new moods.

The magnetic mounts caught my attention right away. No threads. No fiddling. Just a clean click — and that’s it. I love that, especially when I’m shooting in Winnipeg wind or trying to catch a moment before it disappears. These filters feel like they were made for people like me who are in and out of filming situations fast, shifting from bright concrete streets to shaded riverside paths in seconds.

The glass quality surprised me too — 28-layer multi-coated optics that resist water, dust, fingerprints… which is good, because I’m constantly smudging my gear when I’m moving around. The aluminum frames are lightweight, so the Action 5 Pro still feels balanced whether I’m handholding it or mounting it on the bike. It’s the kind of build that tells me these filters aren’t going to bail on me halfway through a shoot.

Each filter has its place in my creative toolkit. The CPL instantly cuts the glare on water and windows, which makes riding past puddles or glass buildings feel far less chaotic in the final footage. The ND8 through ND64 are my bread and butter for daytime cinematics — helping me keep that 1/60 shutter at 30fps so the footage has that natural motion blur I love. And then there’s the ND1000… the dreamy one. The long-exposure magic maker. I’m already imagining silky water shots at The Forks or blurred traffic lines downtown when the city lights kick on.

And honestly, I love kits like this because they open the door to “play mode.” They make me want to go outside and try things — test new angles, experiment with motion, see what the light does when I control it instead of letting it control me. 🎥🌄 I’m planning to take this set into the field this week, especially with the Action 5 Pro, and shoot a full reel of real-world tests: mid-day sun, golden hour flare, reflections after rain, even a low-light time-lapse or two just for fun.

It feels good to have gear that pushes me to create more, not less.

FINAL THOUGHTS

There’s something about filters that always makes me feel a little more connected to the craft. They force me to slow down, look at the scene with intention, and think about the story I’m trying to tell in that moment. When I snapped each of these K&F Concept filters onto the Action 5 Pro, I felt that same familiar shift — that small jolt of creative energy I get when I know I’m holding something that’ll actually improve my footage instead of just adding clutter to my bag. ✨🎒

What impressed me most is how these filters fit into the way I shoot. I’m constantly moving — walking, biking, following light, chasing moments before they disappear. The magnetic snap-on design feels built for that rhythm. No stress, no fumbling, just click-and-shoot. And the build quality gives me confidence that I can take them anywhere, whether it’s a bright waterfront day or a gritty, windy evening downtown. There’s a certain peace in knowing your gear won’t fight you.

As I handled the ND1000 again, I caught myself imagining what the long-exposure shot will look like the first time I put it to the test this week — maybe running water under the Provencher Bridge, maybe cars sliding by on Portage with lights stretching into soft color trails. Little scenes like that always remind me why I create. It’s those quiet moments where everything slows down and you actually see your city differently.

And honestly, that’s the real power of a good filter kit: it doesn’t just change the footage — it changes the way you move through the world while filming it. That’s what I love most about this set, and why I’m excited to put it through its paces in real Winnipeg light over the next few days.
