This attachable star cross filter is specifically designed for the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro and DJI Osmo Action 4. It uses a precision-etched grid of six fine lines to diffract point light sources into clear, radiating starbursts. Brighter lights produce more dramatic star effects, and you can rotate the filter to change the angle of the rays for creative composition.
The filter’s etched lines diffract incoming light, turning single point sources into radiating star patterns. When a light source is brighter, the resulting starburst becomes more pronounced. Because the filter rotates, you can fine-tune the direction of the rays to match your creative intent or to complement the shot’s composition.
Attach the filter using the tool-free snap-on mechanism. This quick mounting method allows you to prepare for shooting immediately while keeping the camera’s original lens in place. As a result, you maintain optimized optical performance and gain reliable protection with minimal setup time.
The filter is constructed from B270 optical glass and features dual-sided multi-layer coatings. As a result, it offers protection against common hazards and stays easy to maintain:

Question: Will this filter work on other action cameras?
Answer: The SmallRig 5839 is specifically designed for the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro and Osmo Action 4. For other cameras, compatibility depends on lens dimensions and mounting, so check fit before purchase.
Question: How do I change the direction of the starburst rays?
Answer: Rotate the filter after it is snapped onto the camera. The etched grid rotates with the filter, letting you adjust the angle of the rays to suit your composition.
Question: Does the filter affect image clarity when not using bright light sources?
Answer: The filter’s etched pattern activates the star effect primarily with point light sources. In scenes without prominent points of light, the effect will be minimal while the filter continues to provide protection.
Question: How should I clean and maintain the filter?
Answer: Use the included cleaning cloth and avoid abrasive materials. The dual-sided multi-layer coatings help repel oil and make cleaning easier, but gentle wiping preserves the coatings and optical quality.
Question: Is the mount secure during active shooting?
Answer: The tool-free snap-on mounting is designed for quick and reliable attachment, allowing you to start shooting immediately while keeping the original lens in place for optimized optical performance.
