Just got the Osmo Pocket 3 and I'm looking for ND filters to get that cinematic motion blur. I’m concerned about color shift and how well the magnets hold during fast movement. Between Freewell, K&F, or the DJI set, which one provides the best clarity and fit? Any recommendations for shooting in bright daylight?

Magnetic mounts are convenient, but cheap ones often lack the tension to stay put. Basically, a lost filter is a ruined shoot and you dont want that, tbh. TL;DR: the consensus is quality glass matters most, so I recommend the PolarPro Vivid Collection Cinema Series 3-Pack ND4/PL, ND8/PL, ND16/PL for DJI Osmo Pocket 3 for the best grip and zero color shift. gl!

I've been shooting for years, but unfortunately I had wierd issues with the magnets on some sets... it was so disappointing seeing my filter fly off mid-shot lol. For bright days, I highkey recommend the Freewell Bright Day 6-Pack ND/PL Filters for DJI Osmo Pocket 3. The magnets are way stronger than the DJI ones and I didnt see any color shifts. Lesson learned: dont trust cheap glass for fast movement!!

Ok so, you've basically hit the nail on the head regarding the fixed aperture on these things. Since the Pocket 3 is stuck at f/2.0, you're gonna have a bad time in bright sun without some solid glass. To get that natural motion blur using the 180-degree rule (like 1/48 shutter for 24fps), you NEED to cut the light significantly, otherwise, your footage looks way too sharp and jittery.
I've been using these since launch, and honestly, I would suggest the Freewell DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Filters All Day 8-Pack. Here’s why they’re basically the industry standard for this cam:
* **Magnetic Strength:** I was worried about them flying off during fast gimbal moves too, but they're seriously strong. I've done high-speed tracking shots and they didnt budge at all.
* **Color Accuracy:** Freewell glass is high-end, so you wont see those nasty magenta or green color shifts that plague cheaper filters.
* **The Range:** For bright daylight, you'll mainly be using the ND64 or ND128. The standard DJI set is okay, but it's kinda limited in terms of options for extreme sun.
You might want to consider the K&F Concept DJI Osmo Pocket 3 ND Filter Kit 4-Pack (ND16 ND32 ND64 ND128) if you're on a budget, but for professional results and peace of mind regarding the magnets, the Freewell kit is worth the extra cash. Just make sure you dont stack them, or the gimbal motor might struggle with the weight. gl! 👍

For your situation, I gotta warn you about the "budget trap" with these filters first. i once used a super cheap set on a shoot and literally every clip had this nasty magenta color shift that ruined the whole vibe... it was a nightmare to fix in post!
WARNING: dont just go for the cheapest magnets you find. If the magnetic pull isnt strong enough, the filter will actually fly off during fast gimbal movements or high wind. I've lost two filters that way and it's basically throwing money away.
Since you're looking for value, here's what I recommend:
* K&F Concept is honestly the sweet spot for price vs. quality.
* Stick to ND32 or even ND64 for those super bright high-noon shots.
* Avoid the basic DJI ones—they're good glass but way overpriced for what you get.
I've been using a mid-range kit for months now and I'm super satisfied. The fit is perfect and they've never budged, even when I'm running around. gl!! 👍
