New possibilities with DJI Osmo Pocket 4: Why are Irix filters a “must-have” for your vlog?

The launch of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 has caused quite a stir among video creators, setting new standards for mobile videography. This pocket-sized camera, with an impressive 14-stop dynamic range and the ability to record in 4K at 240 frames per second, is a genuine breakthrough in compact devices.

However, even the most advanced 1-inch sensor needs support to achieve a fully professional, cinematic image. We have great news for you: all Irix filters designed for the Pocket 3, available in our range, are fully compatible with the new DJI Osmo Pocket 4! This allows you to take your creativity to an even higher level using proven and precise optical tools.

1. Why are Irix filters essential for the DJI Osmo Pocket 4?

The new sensor in the Pocket 4 offers incredible detail, but when recording in bright sunlight or at high frame rates, such as 240 fps, controlling the amount of light becomes a challenge. This is precisely where Irix filters become an indispensable tool:

Maintaining “Motion Blur”: To achieve natural motion blur in accordance with the 180-degree shutter angle rule, it is often necessary to use a slower shutter speed. On a bright day, this is impossible without ND filters unless you overexpose the image, resulting in unnaturally sharp-looking frames that lack cinematic smoothness.

Making use of the 14-stop dynamic range: Filters allow you to manage exposure more effectively, helping you make full use of the Pocket 4 sensor’s new, wider dynamic range in challenging lighting conditions. This prevents the loss of detail in highlights and shadows, ensuring a richer and more balanced image.

Reducing reflections: The camera’s modern optics deserve a clean image without unwanted glare from water or glass, which is exactly what a polarizing filter provides. It also increases color saturation, making blue skies and green plants appear more vivid.

2. Overview of Irix solutions for the Osmo Pocket series

Our range includes products designed with mobility and the highest image quality in mind, perfectly tailored to the needs of the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 and 4:

Irix VND 2–32 Filter – Complete flexibility
This is the most versatile tool in a vlogger’s bag. The variable-density filter allows smooth adjustment of the amount of light within a range of 1 to 5 stops (ND2–ND32). It is ideal when lighting conditions change quickly and you do not want to waste time swapping equipment. Perfect for dynamic scenes in a variety of conditions.

Irix Filter Kit – A complete creative set
A kit created for users who want complete control over every scene. It includes: a CPL filter (polarizing filter), which eliminates reflections and enhances color saturation, such as the blue of the sky or the green of plants; an ND16 filter, which is the standard for achieving cinematic motion blur; and a Six-Arm Star filter, which adds an artistic starburst effect to point light sources, making it ideal for night-time or lifestyle shots.

Irix ND8PL Hybrid Filter – The ideal compromise
An excellent compromise that combines the function of a neutral-density filter (ND8) with polarization. It allows you to simultaneously use a slower shutter speed and reduce light reflections. It is a great solution when minimalism and efficiency are important to you, offering both essential effects in a single compact filter.

3. Magnetic mounting and gimbal safety – Irix innovation

All Irix filters for the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 and 4 feature an innovative magnetic design that allows them to be changed instantly “on the fly”. You will never again miss the perfect shot because of a complicated filter replacement. Most importantly, they are ultra-thin and lightweight, so they do not place any strain on the delicate gimbal mechanism or negatively affect its calibration or stabilization. You can be confident that your footage will always remain smooth and stable, while your camera stays safe.

Summary

Whether you use the proven Pocket 3 or have already upgraded to the latest DJI Osmo Pocket 4, Irix filters remain your best ally in the pursuit of perfect shots. Forget about blown-out skies, unnatural-looking movement and artificial-looking footage – choose professional light control and take your vlogs to a cinematic level.
