DJI Pocket 3: ALL THE CONS Before You Buy

These are all the cons I could think of with the DJI Pocket 3. Know these before buying. Is the pocket 3 really better than the Action 4 and Gopro 12? Or iPhone 15 Pro Max? And how about real cameras like mirrorless micro four thirds, aps-c and full frame offerings from Canon, Nikon, Sony and Panasonic? No Fuji you don't count until you have good stabilization :) Olympus I'll have a salmon roll, thanks.

Pretty sure you'll get some credit for some Action 4 accessories, a shotgun mic, a Christmas tree topper and some candy corn. It was a strange order.

[@travelshorts]

I got one the day after it came out and took it on a trip to Hong Kong the day after for 8 days. I was so happy with it, the external battery was a life saver, I would use it to charge up the internal battery then when it had done that would plug it into a power bank in my pocket to top up. I was also surprised just how good the low light was, looking at the screen at night you could see more than reality. If anyone is interested I have a night tour walking around Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel on my channel if you are interested.

[@xjet]

As someone who was foolish enough to buy a Pocket 3 I can confirm you are 100 percent correct in your criticisms. My biggest disappointment was the blown highlights, I'm using - 0.7EV and it still happens but then it also crushes the blacks, even in DLOG. The other really bad thing is that there's no "gimbal lock" that would let you pan or tilt really quickly if you want. Any attempt to pivot 90 degrees to catch something happening results in the gimbal compensating for the movement and even on "fast follow" it still takes far too long to catch up. The so-called "gimbal lock" does exactly the opposite of what it should do -- it causes the camera to stay pointed exactly where it was when you activate the lock. The fact that you have to take the wide-angle lens off before you shut the camera down is a real pain -- especially when walk-vlogging and you find yourself making a number of short segments separated by perhaps 5 or 10 minutes. And yes, the stock lens is too wide for walk-vlogging producing a narrow FOV that leaves no room for reframing in edit. The wireless mic also becomes a hassle when you're trying to pocket-carry the camera. You can clip it to the plastic carry shell -- but not with the magnet so if you're using the magnet to attach to a teeshirt you risk losing that magnet. The face-track refuses to work if I'm wearing sunglasses and a hat. Also if you get face-track working and set things up for rule-of-thirds then flip the camera around to look ahead, when you flip back to your face the damn thing places you back in the center again and forgets the offset you gave it just seconds before. And don't get me started on the whole DJI "activation" process 😕 Mine ended up in an update-loop that took me two hours to figure out how to break. Of all my cameras the Pocket 3 is now the least favourite. I much prefer vlogging with a regular action-cam, even my old SJCam is better than this.

[@smallbizdigitalmedia]

@xjet valid points thanks. Have you used any ND filters to counter the exposure issue you mention?

[@xjet]

@@smallbizdigitalmedia I don't have any ND filters and, given the other annoyances of this camera, probably won't spend extra money buying them. ND filters will suffer from the same problem as the wide-angle lens... ie: they'll stop the gimbal from locking in the "safe" position when you turn the camera off -- so that's just another thing to have to fiddle with each time you turn it on/off and you also can't stack filters so you can't use a wide-angle *and* an ND filter at the same time.

[@dbitt]

@@xjet I don't want to criticise you but the highlights would be blown in any decent camera. Unless you're using a phone or action camera, you need nd filters. About the gimbal: Well, this is how any gimbal work. Its not really much of a camera issue, but your choice. If you want something very responsive, use fpv mode. And if you took 2 hours to do a once in a lifetime thing that will require maximum 10 minutes of your life, well... Its too easy to get carried away with pessimism but the reality is the DJI Pocket 3 is a great camera for its size/price. Casey has a KZbin channel and he posts videos almost daily, of course he will come here and criticize the camera, that's why everyone watches him. But take his word with a grain of salt. Consider the difference between the Pocket 3 and a full-frame camera on a Ronin gimbal. You made a good purchase unless you had unrealistic expectations.

[@samohara5187]

I think the EU has passed a regulation that requires all portable electronic devices to have a removable and replaceable battery. So hopefully by the time the Pocket 4 rolls around, much like Apple with USB-C, DJI will decide making two different SKUs for the same product (one with and one without replaceable batts) is pointless and will just make all of them replaceable.

[@spudwas]

Amazon has replaceable batteries for Osmo 1 and 2. And it's not that hard to replace. So kids...don't throw away your Osmo's!

[@trym2121]

Pocket 3 (or all pocket) with non replaceable batteries are the weirdest design ever (function wise). Those thing aren't even weather proof or any sort of proofing to justify built in battery.

[@TheSakuraGumiLTD]

I do hate the advert reviews so much. The whole "this video isn't sponsored" thing simple means they intend to make the money back on the video and suck up to companies to get more things to review to make money off of reviewing so "better sell it or I'll be worthless to these companies". I was all for it until I saw Marcus with it... it looked like crap... I was hoping it would be the same as a Sony VZ but in a size that's relevant to that quality. Thinking it would be great as a simple first camera for Volggin and KZbin and get real cameras later on... maybe not though. I don't want to buy one and just be disappointed and wish I had brought a old cheap mirrorless and some lenses for the same price.

[@steadicamwalker]

The image quality is good but not as good as other KZbinrs claimed. Wide angle filter distortion control is very good but it affects the image quality. The equivalent 15mm is good for selfie but too wide for daily walking scenes. Stablization is..... so so.

I have noticed that the battery handle will drain fast when it's just sitting on a shelf. I charge it to 100% and let it sit off for 3 days and it's only at 60-65% when you grab it and turn it on. Why is the "off" state draining so much power?

[@Cthames123]

Isn’t that the pits? My DJI mini 3 drone behaves the same way. I think this is a DJI thing.

[@cameraconspiracies]

I think my Gopro does that.

[@mr_k4tz]

That’s not a bug, it’s a feature. DJI drone batteries do the same. When batteries determine themself to be unused for a few days, they drain to about 2/3s. This helps long term battery health so that the camera and batteries will be usable for years. Batteries are considered consumables.

[@youranonymous931]

My Sony rx0 behaves the same way if battery is left inside, totally find if I take the battery out

[@dab7963]

I tried to resist and your video made me wait but I just could not fight the GAS your I lost and now that I purchased it I have to say that I do like it. Perfect NO but It's convenience and overall quality is exceptional.

[@JoATTech]

Wide angle lens sucks anyway (got my DJI Pocket 3 yesterday :D), so point erased :D. And Pocket 3 gimbal with Wide Angle Lens attached folds differently so you can put it back into the case with lens attached ... Lens folds to the front not to the inside of the gimbal when anything is attached magnetically to the lens ... There are 3rd party mist and ND filters for Pocket 3 already, so there are options. I'd say the main con is that the screen seems very flimsy. It seems like it can break off anytime :(. Plenty independent channels already got their screen ripped off ... I'm still waiting for OM-5 to be discounted. Seems it might be the best vlogging setup with Panasonic Leica 9mm F1.7 :D

All great points. Having used my Pocket 3 for a few weeks now I'm still really loving it. Freewell are doing a snow mist filter in their 14 filter creative pack of filters now (damn it, just seen you've linked to that!). Having also tried quite a few gimbals before of different types, I'd say that the pocket 3 one is just more natural / idiot proof than others - no idea why but it does seem to film what I point it at rather than lots of clips of the sky / floor all the time!!

[@AlexLepoutre]

This reads like someone trying to talk themselves out of buying one 😂 It’s truly an awesome camera. I never take my ND filters off during the day, it folds up just fine when I turn the camera off with them on. The whole segment about attaching it to a clip on your chest is just.. who needs that? Who uses that? In the case of wanting FPV footage like that, you need a wider lens that an action cam can give you anyway. IMO, the Pocket is meant for more control behind the camera, for the outstanding low light capabilities, and the quality of the full 1 inch sensor.

[@cameraconspiracies]

The backpack clip is the best way to carry a camera around when not in use. Don't act like the Pocket 3 fits in a pocket lol.

[@budgetmagnate2430]

YES the mist is way too strong. Haven't seen anyone else mention this, it looks like the lens is covered in fingerprints. Image quality is defintiely solid though. In practice though you can put the camera away with the mist or the wide angle adapter on it. The camera will turn the gimbal to the front and you can put it face down in the case. Not ideal but it works and fits.

You don't even need the paper thin back plastic cover to change out a battery, just a place to send it.

[@audioupgrades]

No camera is ever going to be perfect but to be fair you should compare it with what you have. In that sense, the Pocket 3 seems leaps and bounds better. On the Pocket 3, the background blur varies depending on how close you focus. If you hold it further away, the background gets sharper. The blown skies are very limited and its much better that your face and whatever is on the ground is properly exposed. Regarding the carry problem, just get a padded bag and put it away when you're not using it. Personally, I would really love to not have to see the Action 4 and Black Magic footage anymore because they don't work for vlogging in my opinion.

dji osmo pocket 3. ok so you are holding it at arms length (or its mounted on a tripod) and you are watching the screen. now you pan left (from the camera point of view). you get almost 270 degrees of motion. now you try to pan right. you get about 65 degrees of motion. to get the same pan left/right motion you need to have the screen at a right angle to your line of sight. i suppose you could put a mirror next to the pocket 3 but one does not even come as an accessory for the camera. this is not how you design a product.

And your point about the catchup the gimbal has to make when moving around and pointing at things just got too annoying. I know I could work to make things more cinematic, but it just seemed to need to much adjusting to make it work right. And I couldn’t quite get a good focus when there were more than one subject in the field of view. Sent it back with no regrets. Gonna used my IPhone Pro Max, and for photos try to finally figure out how to take good pictures on my Canon R8.

You raised a number of good points and not just the same video over and over again…almost all those folks are sponsored; they say they aren’t but then admit they get the camera for free. In fairness, they will tell you that if you ask. Markus had a good initial review, but he took it down as folks got upset. Cameralabs found a few minor things..but notably bought the camera for the test. As you noted, it’s not perfect, it’s not an action camera for serious outdoor stuff (so yes you have to be a bit careful with it) and it’s still a small sensor (about the size of your thumbnail…same as any one inch) but once you adjust the settings (like reducing sharpness) it seems like a great camera IMO if you want to be a vlogger. I also think it looks like a bit awkward to film with, but I blame that on being old. I say the same about folks using their phone…but I do it a lot!

[@benharveyphotography]

glad you found the review Gordon and I made at Cameralabs channel helpful. Having owned the pocket 1,2 and 3 as well as Go Pros, insta360 cameras etc the pocket 3 is a big step up. It is tough to find any real flaws in the camera, it is very good. It would have been nice to have a Jack-plug in the side of the camera; but then it wouldn’t have fit inside the case with the mic plugged in. The mic is incredibly feature packed as well, DJI didn’t really say much about it but I have managed to connect it to my iPhone and 360 cameras. Freewell filters are out now and I have a set of Nd’s but as far as I am aware they don’t make a wide angle adaptor that also takes ND filters. Casey will love the pocket 3 when he gets one :-)

I think you are asking about the Pocket 3, (I don’t own that one), but I can comment on the Action 4, the one he’s shooting the video with. While I liked a few things about it I couldn’t help feeling it was worse than my older cell phone. The auto exposure handling (even highlighted in this video) is not good. Everything is unflatteringly over sharpened, (I didn’t want to get all those mist filters to put on and take off and keep up with). I really liked what the wide angle lens could taken in, but the distortion no matter the FOV setting, (dewarp) made things look like I was in a fun house. Then there was always noise in the shot, mo matter if it was bright daylight or in shadows. The novelty lies in the small form factor, how quick it is to start up and capture video, and its stable footage. These are all good things but not good enough to over come the drawbacks. It was not better than my old cell phone. I got my $375 back and went back to my Sony XZ2 cell phone (2018) with a lightweight cellphone gimbal to vlog while walking around my neighborhood.

You need to start using DHT Blocker shampoo and ReStim+ which is a better version of minoxidil. You need to keep the hair you have. I remember you going through your old diets when you had Vegetable Police and you were where again? Thailand? Malaysia? I forgot what country you were in! But I remember that was an issue you had THEN your hair grew back. The goal now is to at least keep the hair you have and that's not diet, it's literally DHT that's thinning your hair strands. Love both channels, especially since I'm a professional photographer. : )

God, agreed so much with the “reviews” aka ads. Same with music gear. It’s so obvious.

[@Twiguard]

the AliExpress Gordon Freeman is absolutely right although it's totally worth it anyway, I also own the DJI Pocket 2, the downsides are solvable and the Pocket 3 is basically better in everything except stills for example you can 3D print a cap that's not full body, just the gimbal

[@djedje5750]

do you have the link for the STL ?

[@nailingjellotoawall]

This video is so misguided. Literally every single "deal breaking" point you are talking about is either factually wrong, massively exaggerated, or insignificant. I am enjoying your videos though. But I do hope anyone who was on the fence with purchasing a P3 didn't let this video be the one that broke the deal.

[@jonhewitt3]

I think it's 2025, any device that has a battery, you must be able to change that battery, without it being done by a 3rd party 😊

[@RelaxingReality]

You have highly entertaining videos!

[@JaredHoyman]

I was tracking with you until you said, "I'm Blown By Men" at 8:10. I've been subscribed for too many years to leave now, but my face resembles the one of your thumbnail.

[@RobDTom]

Not being able to adjust aperture is a real bummer.

[@giantbear829]

I bought two, combos. Now i can setup proper audio, interviews in less than three minutes. Amazing

[@unbroken1010]

Let us know when you interview con man Zelinsky and Netunyahu 😂

BTW I have the DJI filters and they stack, excluding the Wide Angle but including the Black Mist. There are also 3rd party filters that are thin enough to store on the camera. Oh and about that, when you have the Wide Angle on the camera, it automatically flipped the lens around so that it stores on the bottom of the case for protection.IE, you can leave it on if you want.

[@nicksangetta8874]

Thank you for clowning DJI's exposure. It's absolute garbage. Thank you for also pointing out that GoPros don't have this problem.

[@buddyfx7026]

I love the pocket 3 BUT DJI in my mind will always have some of the WORST customer support. I do not trust them in that regard.

[@JaroAtry]

One thing comes out of all this: If you want an action cam, get an action cam. DJI is targeting different customers with osmo and that's a damn good thing. I would actually prefer an even longer lens something like 24-30mm with even blurrier background. But you can never please everyone. I think that DJI made a good compromise.

Dudes a trip!

[@weekendwanderer5514]

I have a Pocket 1 and a Pocket 2. They both have dead batteries and are now useless ornaments. I’m not making that mistake again.

[@wpkambiancesounds]

Can you use it with external power? I have 1, 2 and now Pocket 3. All work great.

[@Ozpeter]

Check their service charges, which were surprisingly cheap last time I looked.

[@markifi]

if you know anyone competent with electronics this is a pretty easy thing to fix. replacement battery should cost 20-25 euros/dollars/pound. heatgun, spudger, tweezers, small screwdriver is needed and the battery is attached with a simple flex cable connector you can just pop off.

[@eek0212]

using this for month and to me only drawback of this little camera is they not offer internal exchangeable battery.

[@OUFN]

Woah @8:10 😅

[@amermeleitor]

Ir doesn't even matter for me. I would never bought the Pocket just because I wanted a camera that can endure some abuse, rain, drops, etc. So an action camera is my choice. I have old cheap DSLRs for taking some photos and videos too

[@CRITITHINKS]

Firstly you are THE BeST! Love your honesty reviews. I love my P3 but I'm a novice and not expecting perfection. This is perfect for the basic user!

[@PatchedBandit]

You can change the gimbal speed in the settings.
