It is remarkable how impressive this compact camera performs. With over a decade of experience as a videographer, I can attest that the footage captured could easily be mistaken for that shot with a camera ten times its cost. The skillful color grading undoubtedly enhanced the overall tone of the video.

[@pangoo9461]

Hello, do you think I can charge a client (I want to be a videographer) with pocket 3? e.g. for weddings, restaurants, interiors, etc

[@erwinmarionneaux]

You can charge a client using any camera. The client is paying for the end product, not the tool you choose to use. If your work is what they’re interested in, that’s all that matters

[@pangoo9461]

@@erwinmarionneaux Wow, thanks mate. I was just wondering why I haven't seen many videos where they work with the pocket 3, and I've also seen comments like "I would never work with this, it's only for vlog, youtubers, a toy" but I was fascinated by the fact of its great quality, the gimbal and portability

[@henkdeboer6959]

​@@pangoo9461i have used it proffesionaly, as a secondary camera, and i know also some people that use it for after movies and festivals.

[@kawasaki5436]

Hello!! What do you think about Sony Zv 1 ? Cause I’m not sure of the cosmo 3 bc of the fish eye but maybe you can suggest me? I want to film videos on my room, makeup videos, clothes, talking, should I take Sony Zv1?

[@_patrickisaac]

As someone who has trouble seeing certain colors but wants to get into filming, I appreciate you stating "whatever looks good to you." I get caught up in doing things for others that I forget that being creative is what I think looks good.

[@breeezyj4633]

WOW I LOVE YOUR COLOR GRADING 🔥🔥🔥 Could you make a Video about color grading where you show step by step the process for beginners? And also one where you show the process with dehancer?? That would be awesome 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@BostonTerrierDad623]

Erwin, I have found a new friend & someone I appreciate in addition to a couple of others out there! You are very easy to follow & I completely appreciate your journey here & your willingness to take us along with you. I’ve never had anyone take us to color grading I I appreciate that added attention SO MUCH. I was blown away. I’m a little older & have tons of extra time, so I’m trying to find new passions to run with and great folks like you are certainly helping me!!! Also, your name REALLY makes me want to call you “Fletch”!! I’m showing my age a little with that reference. I love this DJI OSMO PKT 3 as well & you have another follower & fan, my friend! Have a FANTASTIC weekend & February!! ✌️

[@GrindhousePerformance]

Underrated how well you articulated everything 👍

[@lunagc99]

No cause I kept seeing some other people use it and it seems practical/comfortable to use but the quality was never what I wanted it to be, till I saw this 😳😳 You single-handedly convinced me to get it lol

[@duckiew7732]

so helpful. First time I've seen colour grading and you make it seem not scary ha ha. Thank you.

[@FrancoAversa]

Great, I love your color grade. In Davinci Studio I have Halation effect, I think I can do something with that too and add some grain.

[@LadyKhris]

I enjoyed watching your video. I need advice on what is a great laptop to purchase for editing videos and any other equipment that's needed. Thanks in advance.

[@JORDANBRIMLOW]

Brother, thank you for making this. You helped make my decision easier. Your color scheme is exactly what I am into, it seems we have the same personality with footage. I would love to connect, I don’t use instagram for anything but to have one, but I will reach out there and shoot you a DM. -Jordan Brimlow

[@adventuresofjandk]

Fantastic video man. Well done.

[@mrdzha9519]

thanks for the flow, man! nice work

[@liam.underwood]

when im in a pinch and wothout my ND's, shooiting auto exposure has been surprisingly helpful too, as long as the EV is set to -0.3 - the added pro to this is pulling frames as still images at a higher shutter speed, if colored correctly you end up with disposable camera vibes, since its the same focal length. (ND+motion blur always the preference though)

[@bccreativeproductions9767]

Nice one!! Greetings from South Africa.

[@Lightningalleyproductions]

this sold me that the dji osmo 3 will be my next film camera

[@frmwrxx]

I didn’t understand the part about ND-filters. Why it’s needed? You can’t just make the shutter faster so the shot gets darker?

[@erwinmarionneaux]

The point of the nd is to not make the shutter faster. The faster shutter does reduce light but it also eliminates motion blur which makes movement look jittery

[@frmwrxx]

@@erwinmarionneaux aaaah, that's whyyyy. Wow, I learned something new now. Thank you! Then I will definitely look for some filters because who doesn't love motion blur??

[@meilensteinkreativ-designa1241]

How did you create the glossy look? normally i would use on a big camera a mist filter. how did you set to effect on it?

[@FLG8r]

great tutorial and insights.

[@markjob6354]

New Feature Requests for the New DJI OSMO Pocket 3 1. Add a dwelling time for each of up to four settable movement positions in Motion Time-Lapse Mode. As each of the four settable positions programmed into a motion time-lapse sequence is reached, the end user could set from 1 to 10 seconds of a pause in gimbal movement as each programmed position is reached during the sequence before the gimbal moves forward to the next programmed position. This would yield a much more dynamic and professional looking, smoother motion time-lapse sequence. 2. In Motion Time-Lapse Mode the ability to set movement ease in and ease out settings from 0.5 to 3 seconds for each programmable gimbal position before gimbal movement normal progression rate is reached. 3. True 24.00p filming speed. 4. The ability to set time-lapse sequences based on 24.00p. 5. The ability to be able to record from the DJI Mic 2 and from a plugged in via USB audio source at the same time. 6. Adding a 10 Bit 4:2:2 recordable video codec. 7. Please add zoom capability when shooting in all time-lapse modes.

[@Lacrete74]

Very nice shots!

[@ahmedgaming7677]

Hi, i like your video. i would like to know what application are you using to edit your videos, I am just getting into making vlog videos.

[@spaceink3127]

Can you tell me your export settings in Da vinci resolve? What is the important setting to get the best out of the video? Both for .mp4 format to save on an sdd and for uploading to youtube :)?

[@erwinmarionneaux]

I just use the default settings

[@spaceink3127]

Thanks. So not changing any bitrate for h265 just go default on everything then save it to .avi or.mp4 and upload the file to youtube from there?

[@Farhan.....749k_view]

Good work love form bd🇧🇩

[@maxblaszkiewicz1609]

So im looking to buy this camera to record workout videos inside the gym. Would you recommend using a ND filter for indoors? Bear in mind there’s quite a lot of lightening inside the gym + light from windows - let me know what you think, thanks.

[@erwinmarionneaux]

Nah I’d just leave the camera on the default auto mode

[@anonneymous9949]

Broo what ND filters and did you keep changing the ND filter for each shot? Thanks!

[@hereweare9011]

What a beauty.

[@Richard_Lutz]

When it comes to color have you explored HLG? I'm trying to figure out which color setting will best match Slog3?

[@erwinmarionneaux]

HLG is for HDR content, if you’re shooting s log then you’d go with d log

[@Richard_Lutz]

@@erwinmarionneaux Thanks for getting back to me. Are there things I should keep in mind when exposing an image and protecting the highlights? I thought I saw somewhere that I should underexpose images.

[@dreamcalculator]

Thank you, what is the name of the ND filters that you use?

[@erwinmarionneaux]

Polar pro

[@inCARSONate]

Great video thanks - can d-lg osmo 3 footage get sent directly to capcut without that "nod" step?

[@erwinmarionneaux]

Yea you can edit in any program you want, I just prefer resolve because you have a lot more control of the footage when color grading

[@inCARSONate]

@@erwinmarionneaux thank you Sir

[@imvisuals215]

I just got the camera and I noticed my footage was way too sharp. Thanks for this guide

[@agustinsapad7575]

In pro mode, I can see all the settings except "Image Adjustment". Any idea why?

[@Twizzforsberg]

Great video 👍👍👍👍👍

[@jaymills1720]

Dude you’re talented. Gonna get me this but I hate color grading can I get decent images like this with Final Cut ? Or dehancer needed?

[@erwinmarionneaux]

Dehancer isn’t needed at all, it’s just convenient.

[@sojusake894]

would you recommend shutter or vivid collection for the nd filters?

[@erwinmarionneaux]

The only difference is that the vivid collection also has a circular polarizer built in. So if you want a polarizer as well, go vivid. I just need the nd so I went shutter

[@paola_ace]

Nice! Which Filters are you using for the Pocket 3?

[@erwinmarionneaux]

Polar pro!

[@clutchdaddy1035]

which ND filters do you use for pocket 3?

[@erwinmarionneaux]

Polar pro

[@uthonias]

If I have my own LUTS, would I just disregard using the conversion LUT from DJI?

[@erwinmarionneaux]

Depends on the lut you have. If it’s just a “look” lut, you’d apply it after the conversion lut which is typically the case. It’s possible to make a lut that converts and gives a look but then it’ll only work on that specific camera.

[@uthonias]

@@erwinmarionneaux yeah I was curious cuz I just ordered a OP3. I downloaded someone’s footage and when I stacked the LUTS it looked kinda weird. But thanks for the info!

[@fujiandeye]

i would like to buy one

[@dquangt]

Why is the conversion the third node and not the first?

[@erwinmarionneaux]

So you can do adjustments under it. Once you work after the conversion, you’re limited to a smaller color space

[@DonovanKilbert]

which nd filters do you use?

[@erwinmarionneaux]

Polar pro

[@DonovanKilbert]

@@erwinmarionneaux thanks absolutely fantastic content as well definitely picking these tips up!

[@JFLY78]

Are the ND filters the Polar Pro versions?

[@erwinmarionneaux]

Yup!

[@tlkja8490]

dlog need to convert 709 before gradeing ?

[@erwinmarionneaux]

Yea

[@Hassanfaizanvlogs]

Which software u use for edit

[@erwinmarionneaux]

DaVinci resolve

[@jrsmith1997]

bro, do I need to set ev +1 when shooting with dlog-m??

[@erwinmarionneaux]

It’s a case by case thing. You kinda have to use your own judgement based on the situation. In camera light meters aren’t the best tool to gauge exposure so sometimes it might say +1 just because there’s a bright light in the scene but actually might be over exposed. So it’s always best to know what over exposed or underexposed footage looks like and apply your own judgement

[@ProtoMarcus]

I actually found generally setting EV to -0.3 to -0.7 is the sweet spot - captures enough data to increase brightness in post without having crap image and retaining proper shadows and defined blacks

[@erwinmarionneaux]

@ProtoMarcus it’s always scene dependent. That might work most of the time, but I never pay attention to that because it’s always best to focus on what works in that specific moment.

[@s1rlancealot]

you didn't indicate which brand and they kind of ND filter

[@erwinmarionneaux]

You can use any brand, I use polar pro because they’re high quality. All of them come as a set with all the strengths

[@adelinetravel]

Can I know which range of nd filter to buy if I would like to just do casual shooting during daylight and sunrise?

[@IbnFulan]

Oh my god

[@erwinmarionneaux]

Right!

[@whatsnottohike]

i'd love you to do a video of this using capcut! :-)

[@erwinmarionneaux]

Ahh I’m not a fan of using CapCut 😅

[@whatsnottohike]

@@erwinmarionneaux Fair enough. Quick question, are these setting mainly for outside? I'm currently inside and although it's not super bright, it's not exactly dark either but the footage seems really dark. Would that just be fixed in post or inside/outside settings differ? Thanks! (My pc is ok but can't seem to handle Davinci so well, hence the capcut usage)

[@erwinmarionneaux]

@whatsnottohike for inside, there wouldn’t be a need for ND filters, so you’d just raise the iso until exposure looks good. It’s still a relatively small sensor so it won’t be the best at capturing low light

[@whatsnottohike]

@@erwinmarionneaux thanks! The low light settings i feel look not TOO bad but of course, no ND filters indoors, makes total sense. Thanks for the advice. Subbed 🙂
