THIS CHANGED MY MIND - DJI Pocket 3 vs Sony ZV 1 MII - VLOG CAMERA BATTLE!

[@angryrabbitproductions1690]

I 100% agree with your conclusion. It’s not even close. OP3 all day long. Honestly, I can’t wait for a “Pro” version of this with a S35 sensor and fast zoom lens. That will pretty much cover the remaining market. Traditional camera companies don’t seem to be thinking outside of the box. Modern cameras do not need a design that harkens back to the 1916 when the first traditional shaped rangefinder was invented.

[@SirCharles824]

How much will that cost?

[@Promikes]

Why you think they will produce one? Any news / rumors?

[@joelconolly5574]

That shape is mostly for sensor size to hold comparison while bigger equipments can collect more light data from distances away. As for the average Joe, this is just casual point and shoot.

[@chrisnelson2770]

Doesn't that already exist with the DJI Ronin 4 or whatever's it's called?

[@RealLagu]

I HIGHLY doubt that a pocket 3 "pro" would come out.

[@mkramme]

You convinced me on what to buy, keep these "pocket 3" video's coming

[@Joe-GMY]

Yeah, the "DJI Pocket 3" is the winner here, without any doubts! I also have it and really love it for its awesome performance, its compactness and gimbal stabilisation system. And if you use a set of ND-filters with the Pocket 3, it's just an amazing camera that even beats my big SONY camera which I hardly use any more since I have had the DJI Pocket 3. In addition, I can comfortably take it with me when travelling all over.

I shot the Pocket 3 out on a really bright day again - including some in-car footage, and it’s incredible! The dynamic range is awesome, without being Apple-orange on the skin tones. It’s my favourite video camera.

@@DavidManningvlog It really is. I just released a video shot with the Pocket 3 and an R6 MKII, and for many shots, the Pocket 3 was better!

@@kitsune-y8k Very good. Check the specs.

[@simonwyndham]

I've had the Pocket 3 Creator Combo for a couple of weeks now, and I'm seriously impressed with it. The tracking for self shoot videos is really useful for B-roll. I've also been using it on a motorised slider to get motion control style product shots as well. Add into the mix the 32-bit float audio recording directly to the DJI Mic 2's onboard storage, and it's a winning combo for me.

[@kreneeward]

Has yours overheated ?

[@simonwyndham]

@@kreneeward Not yet, no. I've been using it to film reviews so I've been leaving it running for long periods and haven't had an issue so far. But I live in the UK, so a bit cooler than other parts of the world right now.

Yes The tracking with assignable frame quadrant is especially useful with sliders. I'm on the lookout for crawling tripods to extending this idea outdoors.

Did anyone else notice the blind gentleman walking down the middle of the road around the 10-minute mark of the video? Best video-bomb/frame crash I’ve ever seen!

[@twalker294]

I sold my ZV1 and bought the OP3 and I've not regretted it for a second. The stabilization on the ZV1 is mediocre at best, which was my main complaint with the camera. Add the much more compact size of the OP3 and the wireless mic and it's a no brainer. The OP3 has impressed me to no end.

[@heenal5520]

Can you take good photos with it too?

@@heenal5520 As good as a smartphone yes but I wouldn't consider it as a primary photo camera.

I have both cameras. I had the Mark 1 then decided to upgrade to the Mark 2 before I even knew what a Pocket camera was. I have never own a DJI Pocket until the 3 and I love it. I am thinking about selling my M2 but I am hesitant because I am not sure how the 2 compare on taking photos and the their individual qualities. I would love to see a video on the photo quality of the 2 cameras even tho I know these are meant for video. Awesome review!!!

[@rockyymr]

Hi, 3 months in, do you have a comparison on their photo quality?

[@WorkItJ216]

@@rockyymr I would give video quality to the P3 because of the gimbal stabilization and the amazing low light quality. In my opinion photo quality is about the same. But the Mark 2 has more features for photos than the P3 to me. But I have sold my Mark 2 and is very satisfied with the P3

[@rockyymr]

@@WorkItJ216 okay, thank you! Appreciate the response! Just sold the Mark 1 as well, as I wanted a more stabilized and smaller camera. I'm an auto user so I think P3 will be okay for photos.. Glad my decision to sell was justified hahaha was on a fence for a long time! Lol.

OMG, dude! you also drastically changed my mind! I have a bulky sony zve10 m1 and thinking will save money to buy zv1 m2 as my vlog camera, while the zve10 my broll camera. but clearly now, not only dji p3 cost lower but it's a complete package (built-in gimbal, auto-tracking, and 16mm lens), great low-light performance, and the dji witeless mics goes straight to it (combined price still lower than the zv1m2). so, no longer saving for zve1m2.

[@eroclec]

How do these two cameras compare to your in-studio setup? Would love to see a comparison.

[@scottcunningham1291]

Pocket 3 has the advantage at capturing family vacation video with stabilization, 10 bit, and low light. I personally tend to capture a mixture of photos and video on my family vacations. The ZV1 destroys the pocket 3 for photography, 24fps raw, flash support, manual control, etc. The ZV1 also has a ton of additional video features you glossed over like ND filter, mic jack, manual control buttons on camera, superior eye tracking, zoom, web streaming, product showcase, etc. This review was pretty biased towards the pocket 3's advantages.

[@TheSshadow7]

I have the zv-1 and the first two pockets. I love the first pocket and will definitely buy the 3 and I'll use it more than the zv-1. However, you make a good point, especially with the built in nd filter and mic input, plus the dead cat for the onboard mic. The first zv-1 is a great camera for most scenarios, as is the pocket 3.

[@mysuppressor]

Great video David! At first, I was thinking that the Pocket 3 would be ideal mainly for some nice B-Roll when it came to vlogging but this video really changed my mind. The Pocket 3 seems to be a valid main vlogging camera as well!

[@bettyaugust5623]

one of the best reviews. the side-by-side comparison is the best!

[@NickAndTech]

Great comparison, my only thought would be that the ZV-1 would be better as a studio cam (and of course as a photo camera) but otherwise the DJI is the hands-down winner from price to features and vlog quality.

[@vegsource]

Looks like these are are not available before January?

[@eric.ko.]

I just got the Osmo pocket 3. It's such a good deal to have the mic auto pair. Using it as a BTS camera makes for really quick setup.

[@ibnbattuta34]

thanks David

[@droninronin]

Could you do a talking head comparison since alot of ppl want tye zv1 to do talking head ondoor desk shots & that vs the pocket 3

[@davidfirth1]

Ended up selling my OP3. I'm not a walk and talking head shooter, and the hold it like an ice cream cone user experience made it very awkward to use. I think the OP3 is a better camera for most people, but in my paid side gig work, the ZV1's better optics, excellent AF, and more robust settings win out for me. And a lot of my work is pseudo-studio with theatre lighting, so I don't really need the OP3's low light ability (which I found to be somewhat aggressive; often needs to be dialed back -0.3 to -0.7 EV). So, cheers to the OP3 fans; you have a great camera. The ZV1 still has a place at the table, and for some of us, is still the better choice.

[@eliemikhael132]

Hi David. in Regards to the DJI Pocket 3 , What if there are multiple people in the shot. Can you select it to track an individual person ? for example if I am shooting a football/soccer a game?

[@KaceyGreen]

I had just put in an order for the new Rode Wireless Pro like shown at 11:00 but the next morning the Pocket 3 embargo dropped, so I watched one video, cancelled the rode, and ordered the creator combo instead as I loved the Osmo Pocket, and Pocket 2, and the Osmo Pocket 3 is fitting right in where those left off, my sign off tag is based off the gimbal flip motion from that original Pocket.

[@kyaghleah]

Great stuff. Thanks. Thoughts or tips on batteries for the DJI? Also, thoughts on getting my DJI before August? 😅 I couldn’t find any on Amazon and ordered directly from the store.

[@dannytomaske]

Nice comparison! I manly use my cameras on my motorcycle. Would the pocket 3 be a good GoPro alternative if mounted on a motorcycle at Highway speeds or is the gimbal not strong enough?

[@RealGrooveRandom]

I've got the Pocket 2 and I wouldn't mount that on any vehicle, the gimble is a bit fragile. I've used it inside my car but never mounted outside.

[@blaisecarver]

No, don't use it on a motorcycle. It's not made for that. The gimbal can't stand it for long.

[@gringopines3476]

KILLER COMPARISON BROTHER. THANX SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO AND OUTSTANDING INFORMATION ON BOTH PLATFORMS... STAY COOL AND KEEP PUSHIN' ON... PEACE FROM CREEL CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO...🌎🧭📹

[@LeonnardRoth]

What if you only wanted to carry 1 camera for all outdoor/indoor family video, to replace a Sony mini 1080 camcorder, hc-455? Anything better than the ZV1 (not mk2) due to framing ability of the on-board framing zoom? Ace Pro was good, but family does not like camera in their face so 20+ mm seems better for a little more space between shooter and candid subjects? Love your video btw!

[@DavidManningvlog]

Honestly, for me it's the Pocket 3 as my family "dad cam" pretty much 90% of the time. It's such an easy camera to have on me and the tracking helps a ton with filming the kiddos!

[@LeonnardRoth]

@@DavidManningvlog thanks David!

[@LeonnardRoth]

@@DavidManningvlog Thanks, just worried about durability, thank you!

[@Ozpeter]

Great comparison, thanks. A few points of detail - The Pocket 3 does have a fully articulating screen, in effect. You can move the screen relative to the camera lens to a considerable degree - and you only need one hand to do it - if you engage the gimbal lock. Of course for tracking you can attach the Sony to a separate gimbal, then compare using a more level playing field - but size and cost become the deciding factors. And then to keep the playing field even more level, you have to add in a good quality radio mic for the Sony.. what sort of total price are we talking about, to compare the cameras in a similar configuration? Hmmm... But you missed a significant difference - the Sony has a variable aperture and therefore variable depth of field. The Pocket 3 is fixed, so it will always significantly blur the background when talking to camera. Some people may not like that, stylistically.

[@cynide89]

@david are you wearing RayBan Meta's? If so, have you done a review on them? Can't seem to find one from you.

[@KaneDoesOutdoors]

I’ve had the Pocket 3 for a few weeks and I’m still using my zv1. Both are good. Completely different tools. Locked off shots? The Pocket 3 is pretty annoying. It should have a built in 1/4 20 mount and a locked off gimbal mode. Moving shots, obviously the Pocket 3 wins. The mic is clearly great too. Would like it if the extra battery was higher mHa. Just depends what you need. I don’t know what everyone focuses so much on “walk and talk” vlogging - most people use tripods and for that the zv1 wins.

[@Tvj_films8452]

Turn off face detection. That shit ain’t moving anywhere. I shot static still shots all the time.

[@DavidManningvlog]

If you don't have face detect or tracking on, the Pocket 3 won't move on a locked off shot👍

[@KaneDoesOutdoors]

@@Tvj_films8452 Yep I do that - I've used it for lots of locked off shots. I just find setting up a tripod shot with a normal camera tends to be quicker and more consistent. Although the fact that the Pocket 3 is always level is a a nice bonus. I'm typically running 2 or 3 cameras so having the ZV1 and Pocket 3 is a good combination for me.

[@KaneDoesOutdoors]

@@DavidManningvlog I would like a full locked mode for the gimbal, which would be a very simple firmware update. Move the tripod a bit to adjust your shot and the gimbal tries to compensate. Adjust with the joystick, turn the camera off, and you don't come back to the exact same place. Minor details.

[@just_inhawaii]

I agree. I have both and the pocket 3 is no good for static shots because of the focus breathing. 🤙🏽

[@SFAutor]

I just have ordered the DIJ OSMO Pocket 3 Creators package and after your video, I am now exited to start my KZbin channel with this camera. I guess DJI has created something very special for creators and if I think a bit forward in the future with new and even better systems coming from that company, established brands like SONY, FUJI, CANON, etc, will run into a hard competition with their cameras for different reasons.

[@FromAverageToWarrior]

[@GarrettLucasWV]

The wireless mic on the Pocket 3 is certainly better than either camera's onboard mic, but I'm not overwhelmed by its performance. I've seen several videos with the wireless mic in use and the audio always sounds muddy/compressed/muffled. Can either wirless mics work with the Pocket 3 or only just DJI's microphone??

[@HomeToursSingapore]

I bought the DJI pocket 3, then sold it for zv1ii because you can’t shoot photos with pocket 3. Also the screen is too small to see under bright daylight. especially when you need to expose correctly for Dlog profile. It is also very difficult to adjust the ND filter under daylight and you risk damaging the gimbal motor as you can only adjust when the pocket 3 is on. DJI is only suitable for run and gun auto mode shooters who don’t use ND filters or need to expose.

[@phucmapvlog]

[@dr.raihanvlogs2630]

Outrageous Conclusion!!! ❤

[@sneakergearz]

As someone who owns and enjoys the ZV-1ii, what areas would you still prefer to use the Sony? Or would it be worthwhile selling the Sony for the Pocket 3…?

[@DavidManningvlog]

Mainly photo purposes. The 18-50 obviously gives you a bit more reach and the ZV-1 MII has a higher megapixel count. So for video, I would go for the Pocket 3 all day, but if I was taking a lot of photos as well, I would maybe keep the ZV-1 MII. Or use my iPhone for photos and the Pocket 3 for video

[@sneakergearz]

@@DavidManningvlog I would contend at that point ZV-1 mark1 with its 24-70 lens or even the RX100vii are better quick pocket cameras. Love my ZV-1ii but may have to try the Pocket3 with its size and quality.

[@DavidManningvlog]

That’s a very solid point! The RX100Vii with that 24-200mm lens is an incredible pocket PHOTO camera, but I think you’re right that if you’re looking to go video, the Pocket 3 is the way to go. Especially with that creator combo coming with the wireless mic!

[@fawkesmorque]

Can you connect it to a PC via USB as some sort of webcam? I would buy it as an outdoor streamcam if it can run from USB power with autoframing like the OBSBOT camera or the Insta360 Link. Also the ZV-1 Mark II footage here looks bad. Is this new version so much worse than my original ZV-1 or did you use some weird settings? Personally the worse stabilisation is no big deal for me, since I use the Sony either as a "webcam" or mounted to a bigger gimbal-setup. I also love the high fps shots from my ZV-1. It's quiet easy to get beautiful and very stable b-rolls that way, even without a gimbal. :)

[@TheSmartWoodshop]

I have the P3 and A3. They are different cameras designed for various purposes. I use both simultaneously and often at the same time, and they make a great pair. Over the past 12 years, I have created over 1000 videos on KZbin, using many cameras. The P3, due to its tracking capabilities, is the best one I've used so far. I set up the P3 on a tripod as my main camera, with the A3 hanging around my neck for a POV perspective. Both cameras are shooting in D-Log, making the cutting back and forth in Final Cut Pro X (FCX) after grading a perfect match. These two DJI cameras essentially serve as my entire video crew.

[@Outdoorswithabby]

Ive been rocking the dji pocket 1 since the day of the release. Even upto my last vacation this year it was still my go to camera. Upgraded gopros etc but ultimately it still blew them away. Only thing they are good for are water/dirt activities. Even though its old it still produced awesome footage. Gimbal changes the game. Digital stability doesnt come close. My footage always looked more professional with the pocket. Dji got me buying a dji mini3 pro.... had me with the pocket and even their action cameras are comparable and even best gopro innsome ways so my next action cam will be a dji. I will 100% be picking up one of these for my next vacation. Will continue to run the pocket one too as its still a great camera thats never let me down. Maybe as the b roll alternative view cam or something.

[@pppropertyvideos]

Ok we started making property videos in Portugal in the middle of 2023, and although we are still really learning they have been a great success business-wise. We need a new camera as we have been shooting on a Nikon d3400 we want 4k and as some of our properties have no lighting we need low-light capability. I have been looking at buying a Sony a7siii but after watching this would the DJI pocket serve me as well? Really appreciate your views.

[@Chris-fm5oh]

What kind of camera would you recommend for reels in low light? I’m a bodyworker/massage therapist trying to record short reels for IG to demo what I do. So a lot of my stuff is filming downward? Does the DJI still make sense to use especially since it does better in low light and can it record at an angle or will it always be level to the horizon as a stabilizer should? Thanks!

when I reached the Digital Stabilization in low light mode, I just stopped watching and ordered DJI Osmo Pocket 3... ok so not yet, but waiting for it to be back in stock in India, and then I will order instantly... thanks man.. your videos always help. Great stuff.

Thank you David for the info, I going to buy pocket3 now

[@thirdletterc]

what are the battery life comparisons?

[@brettyg76]

The ZV has more technical options… such as Picture Profile. For instance, I’d like to shoot in Black & White… does the Pocket3 allow picture profiles as such?

Just wondering if on the pocket 3 if more than one lapel mic thinger can be used. Like 2 to 3 people having a conversation, etc. Thanks

this is a great video. the difference between these 2 cameras are crazy!

What software would you use to edit the colours on the pocket 3

[@DavidManningvlog]

Final Cut Pro has some great features in there for color grading!

Can i still connect the dji mic to the pocket 3? I'm looking at getting the dji pocket kit. but i also have the sony zv 1 and i bought the dji mic kit for have better audio but i want to make sure i could still connect the OG dji mic to then have a second audio outlet for another person. Hope this makes sense. Your video was amazing and you have switched me over! I can't wait for my youtube videos to look so good!
