Just "upgraded" from the GoPro11 to the Osmo Pocket 3. One of the biggest reasons was for the image quality, especially for low light the pocket 3 has been amazing. I also love that touch of blur in the background (Bokeh). I already have 2 DJI drones & planning to get the Action 5 pro too for wet and more extreme filming. The Internal storage was already a thing; about once a year I forget to insert the memory card and I didn't have it this time (last week). Recording with the DJI Mic 2 is a big plus! In general I am very happy with it. I notice that it's less noticeable then walking around with an action cam (this is important for me).

Agree with your points re water, replaceable battery and spot metering (with exposure lock). I'd like focus lock as well. And (although I have an add-on macro lens thing) I'd like a better zoom, close up facility, and a better way to alter zoom than that nub thing which always seems to be in rotation mode when I want zoom and in zoom mode when I want rotation!

Do you still have your first Pocket 3? One time I was out in a slight rainfall. A very small amount of drizzle got on it, but did no harm. If you still have the first Pocket 3, did you try the dry rice thing? A few years ago, I had some camera or small electronic device (I honestly don't remember which) that had stopped working because it got a bit wet. Anyway I read about putting it into a bag of dry rice for 24 hours, and that would absorb any moisture somehow. Sounded ridiculous to me, but... it worked! Though there were no specific instructions, I pretty much covered the device with the rice inside the plastic bag.

Love your content! I am wondering how you carry the dji pocket around? The gimbal is a little delicate to just throw in a bag, put in the pocket or hang around the neck even with the case. I am kinda struggling to ease the awkwardness of holding it with one hand while exploring places to keep it from getting scratched.

SOOOOO helpful! Can’t decide on whether or not get this or the Sony Alpha ZV-E10 - APS-C Interchangeable Lens Mirrorless Vlog Camera Kit. They are both the same price. But what I’d love is something small & not very noticeable like the Osmo pocket 3. Ideally I think eventually I will get both but am thinking the Osmo will be 1st to carry around vlogging the mountains this winter. Is the Sony Alpha ZV-E10 - APS-C Interchangeable Lens Mirrorless Vlog Camera Kit worth it? Was assuming this would be best for in studio/in house vlogging

Bought first gen (ok)... Pocket 3 embarrassed to say... been collecting dust! Would like to use it more but I don't like the flimsy extra battery (it feels as if it will fall off) and the "weatherproof" inabilities. I'd probably buy 3 of these but not a fan of its lack of ruggedness. Need to use it more. Your video has motivated me to use it more! Have you heard any rumors of a next gen coming? May get the DJI Action 5??? Thanks for your pumping out nice reviews. Not hyped... real user feedback. Cheers from Japan!

IT Director here: One thing about internal memory is that unless it's a separate physical module from the operating system, it could lead to the camera becoming unusable more quickly. All storage mediums have a limited lifespan based on the number of reads and writes. It's usually quite high, but video files are one of the most intensive read/write applications and I can image this could be an issue for heavy users. I'll have to post on DJI's forum to see if the internal storage on the Action 5 is on a separate physical module than the OS.

I like everything I have seen so far about the 360 ace pro 2 except for having some kind of skin perfecting or smoothing effect.

4:3 shooting, maybe an almost action camera FOV, bigger grip with bigger battery, zoom, faster photo processing, 12MP sensor, vertical mode through motor or at least the 4:3 for nicer vertical crop and so much more I wish for the Pocket to do. Zoom is probably out of the question tho. Still tryna look for that one point and shoot to replace my smartphone but seeing the RX100 VII is the last of it's kind with no update and action cameras cameras are ultrawide, I guess I'll stick with two devices. Heck even camcorders are on my radars.

I bought the Pocket 2 last summer with discount instead of the full price Pocket 3 because of the photo resolution. The Pocket 2 is much more than the Pocket 3.
