Top 5 Accessories for the DJI Osmo Pocket

If you use the DJI Osmo Pocket as more than just a casual camera, the right accessories make a huge difference. After six months of real-world use from YouTube videos to behind-the-scenes footage I’ve narrowed it down to four accessories I actually rely on. No gimmicks, no drawer-fillers just practical add-ons that genuinely improve how the Osmo Pocket works in everyday shooting situations.

1. Tilting Cold Shoe Mount from SmallRig

The first accessory is a tilting cold shoe mount from SmallRig.

This mount allows you to attach the Osmo Pocket on top of your main camera, which is ideal for recording behind-the-scenes footage while you’re shooting. I use this setup a lot during client work.

What makes this mount stand out is the tilt mechanism. With fixed cold shoe mounts, I often ran into an issue where the gimbal would hit its movement limit and stop recording — not something you want happening mid-shoot. By slightly tilting the Osmo Pocket, the gimbal stays within its operating range.

This makes it much easier to shoot both horizontal and vertical footage without interruptions. You don’t have to go with SmallRig specifically, but their build quality is excellent. It’s sturdy, reliable, and doesn’t feel cheap at all.

2. K&F Concept Filters

The second accessory is a set of filters from K&F Concept.

If you want a more cinematic look out of the Osmo Pocket, filters are pretty much essential. At the very least, I’d recommend a CPL filter and a few ND filters.

I tested several brands, but I stuck with these because they simply fit properly. Some filters I tried prevented the Osmo Pocket from fully closing when entering sleep mode, which is annoying and not ideal if you store the camera in its case.

These filters are lightweight and compact, so the camera closes without any issues. They’re also very affordable for the quality you’re getting. The set I personally use includes a CPL, ND16, ND64, and ND256, which covers almost every lighting situation I run into.

K&F Concept also offers multiple filter kits, so whether you want a minimal setup or a more complete set, there’s plenty of choice depending on your shooting style.

3. Ulanzi MT-78 Tripod / Selfie Stick

The third accessory is the Ulanzi MT-78, and honestly, this might be my favorite one on the list.

It’s a compact tripod and selfie stick combo that works perfectly for talking-head shots, vlogging, and behind-the-scenes footage. It’s lightweight, portable, and easy to throw into any bag.

An underrated feature is the included phone clip. I often use it to hold my phone so I can read my script while filming. It helps me stay focused and speeds up my workflow more than you’d expect.

Another way I use the phone clip is by mounting my phone and mirroring the Osmo Pocket using the DJI Mimo app. This essentially turns the setup into a small camera-style rig with a proper screen. It makes framing, exposure, and focus much easier, especially for talking-head videos or scripted content. Having a live view on a bigger screen feels surprisingly close to working with a compact mirrorless setup, while still keeping everything lightweight and minimal.

You can also use this tripod to mount other small accessories, like a compact light, which makes it surprisingly versatile for such a small piece of gear.

4. Action Case + PGYTECH Neck Mount

Last but not least — and these two really work best together — an action case by DJI for the Osmo Pocket combined with a neck mount from PGYTECH.

This setup is excellent for filming POV behind-the-scenes footage. I’ve tried all kinds of straps and mounts over the years, and recently I switched to neck mounts because they’re lighter, faster to put on, and much more discreet.

The PGYTECH neck mount uses a quick-release system, which makes it easy to take the camera on and off in seconds. It also includes an optional chest strap if you need a more stable setup.

The action case itself has a small but very useful detail: a cold shoe mount that fits the DJI Mic 2 amongst other gadgets. It keeps everything compact and avoids extra clips or mounts hanging off your setup.

These are the four Osmo Pocket accessories I actually use and rely on in real-world shooting situations.
