DJI OSMO POCKET 3 | 2 Months Later - IS IT OVER HYPED?

[@TheDroneCreative]

Small mistake at 07:20. The labels are the wrong way around. The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is on the left, and the DJI Osmo Action 4 is on the right!

[@fabienleclercq4889]

oh I was confuse! Thanks for the correction ^^ Great video thank you

[@vaskes123]

Thank you both, critical info!

[@ubidubiumibilibertas9076]

It is not water proof isn't it?

[@Jason-tj7rk]

hahaha, I cant tell you how many times I rewatched that part and was thinking the action looked much much better

[@RichieCavsRetrocade]

Sold! Thanks so much. Was looking at so many cameras as a beginner and I was exhausted, but I now have the one I want.

[@lpinsight]

Pocket 3 is an amazing camera, I enjoy using it, I shot a wedding with it, the footage was beautiful

[@luisfregoso2073]

do you have footage that you can share, by any chance? i want to buy this camera

[@dustincantrell]

link to footage?

[@londontaxifilms7313]

I’m sick of people complaining about the title of videos. It asked a question, and answered it. I was on the fence about the 3 due to price- I have an Osmo 6 gimbal- but this video is really making me think about getting one. I’m an indie filmmaker, not an action video maker, so I think this unit would be invaluable for run and gun shoots. Thank you for a great video.

[@ALxdCr4ftPlays]

A tiny 4K gimbal pocket camera that has a significantly larger Sensor than flagship smartphones, with a small wireless windshielded mic, and baby tripod feet. There's plenty to be hyped about the Pocket 3. Superior gimbal stabilization without cropping, ultra wide field of view, flippy OLED touch screen. These add to the success for DJI. ❤

[@broc1617]

It’s a goated camera for me and a game changer. My iPhone is outdated so they’re not in the same class at all. I was not a fan of the flip screen because more moving parts gives more opportunities for failure but DJI’s care program is surprisingly convenient and a great value so I’m not worried about it anymore. I love it

[@TheDroneCreative]

It's easily my favorite camera from 2023. Care Refresh is super quick and easy to use. I have used it for this Pocket 3, but also for drones a few times. It's a great service.

[@mehr84]

Do you reckon it's worth getting Care Refresh? How much did it cost you to use the service for a replacement? @@TheDroneCreative

[@TheDroneCreative]

Absolutely worth it! It cost me £32 to get it replaced. @@mehr84

[@ChillStudyDate]

@@TheDroneCreativethe plan itself is 35 for 1 yr, is there any additional charges for replacement? Say ur screen or the gimbal broke. Do you have to pay the 35$ for the care refresh per yr and also other fees? Or is it just the 35$ per yr ?

[@berzerggggg]

great question I'm leaving a comment to get the answer when @thedronecreative replies @@ChillStudyDate

[@Onejoserangel]

Best review ever. Will be getting it because this video! You’re great

[@quentinskitchen]

Definitely a game-changer camera! I bought it and started to use it to record my cooking videos, and it hasn't gone unnoticed by my followers. They've all been asking if I upgraded to a $5K mirrorless camera although it's just a 500$ gimbal camera. Very impressive video quality. It also saves me heaps of hours in post-production in Premiere Pro. I hope Sony, Canon, Fujifilm are watching because their market share is about to tumble.

[@najiahgriffiths4216]

how does it save you time in editing? i was wondering how easy it is to get the footage from off this camera to a program like capcut or something

[@quentinskitchen]

@@najiahgriffiths4216 it really saves me a lot of time because the image quality is incredible right out-of-the-box 😄 I used to record with my phone and I had to compensate its weaknesses in Premiere Pro for hours (adjusting brightness, sharpness, colors, contrast). I also had to record scenes multiple times from different angles just to ensure I would have at least one decent rush to edit in Premiere Pro. With the DJI OP 3 I don't need to record multiple times the same scene. I know it will look good regardless. I know that only one rush will be enough (which is both a gain of time when recording, and when editing after because I don't have to choose between rushs). All I need to do is transfer files via USB-C directly in premiere pro, then apply the DJI log and click on Auto for color grading. 99.9% I am happy with the end result and there's nothing else I need to do 😄

[@antonlevkovsky1667]

In good light any modern phone will do a good job. I didn't have xp with pocket 3 but pocket 2 was way too crappy even in good lighting if you got high dynamic range in the image. Not enough bits to boost shadows without getting noise. Maybe pocket 3 got more capabilities with its 10 bit mode, but in the end it's the quality of the matrix that matters, and 1" just can't compete with full frame at this.

One of the best accessories I could get for the Pocket 3 was the REYGEAK Gimbal Lens Protective Cover. Might be hard to get, and was definitely overpriced, but I find it very useful as it offers the extra protection the Pocket 3 badly needs.

[@droneforfun5384]

Good job. I also value that you clearly are stating that you bought this gadget yourself. Too many youtube ”reviewers” nowadays are actually paid by companies, or they get the gear for free which is bad if you want to be independant.

Thank you so much! Really appreciate that!

@ my pleasure and thanks again

[@markjob6354]

*@**17:57**; It would also be extremely helpful if via a firmware update a feature allowing the user to be able to set a "dwelling time" for up to four of the programmable Motion Time-Lapse gimbal positions, which would allow the gimbal to remain at each of the programmed points for a setable 1 to 8 seconds before moving onto the next programmed gimbal position. The reason why you would want to be able to do this is if up to four positional gimbal movements were set, the transitions between each stage of the sequence would be less jarring and smoother as an overall motion time-lapse sequence if there was a pause at each step of the programmed movements. This would accomplish a more professionally looking sequence by far.*

[@asmaar.3885]

This is truly an amazing overview, and answered all the questions and worried I have before buying!

[@TheDroneCreative]

Thank you!

[@KennethDowneyTV]

Excellent review! I will be purchasing one this week!

[@gordon3988]

Nicely done…and paying for your own camera in a review is the only way for folks to have faith in a review (well unless the camera is simply being loaned for the review). Rarely do folks clarify this, but it usually obvious in the reviews. As for the OP3…it seems like a great overall tool for video!

[@laurenscott741]

I have been using the DJI pocket 2 for just short of a year and I love it! Not sure if there are enough changes for me to upgrade however the bigger screen is tempting. Recommend these cameras for anyone who wants something that is more lowkey (a lot of the times my friends don’t even realise I have the camera out and I’m recording)

[@ckallas]

The Pocket 3 is worth it simply for the low light sensor. It accurately captures night time footage as the eye would see it IMO. Used it in caverns, night walks, and other low light situations

[@fhajovan]

I was thinking about upgrading also now that the mic 2 is out, I love the 2 also it's just that new feature on the mic 2 without box is tempting along with the screen. I get it thow

[@CasaFassa]

The p3 smokes the pocket 2. Waayyyyy better on all accounts.

I personally like it because my phone always runs out of storage or dies quicker when I’m vlogging and it’s also more convenient so I can have my phone for communication purposes

[@petertrout7866]

You forgot to mention that when the internal battery loses its ability to hold a charge there is no battery replacement, you have to buy a new dji camera

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

DJI have evidently addressed a number of issues of the Pocket 2. The joystick was too fragile (replaced twice), the 'handy case' presented the on button to be accidentally pressed (causing the gimbal to go mental), the thing kept switching off after getting warm, the mic wind muffler was lost twice due to it's poor 2-prong attachment, storing spare magnetic parts in the 'handy' case was asking for them to be lost (happened once but the lens was miraculously refound on the hill!), the screen was basically too tiny. Having grumbled about that I will admit I have been really pleased with the quality of image and sound. The P3 is clearly a vastly improved beast. But I'll just still to the devil I know for vlogging until I break it. Super content as always Matthew. Thanks to you I'm learning how to use my Osmo 6 phone gimbal. 🙂

[@ZaneConnor]

[@TheOlsonOutfit]

I've wanted one of these because of it's features and format, but the amazing shots in this video have totally sold me!

[@FoodChainTV]

Can you set the position of the face tracking? Like, instead of your face always being in the middle of the screen, can you set your face to always be in the top third? Or on a grid?

[@TheDroneCreative]

Hey! Yes, you can. Once you start tracking, you can reposition your face using the joystick, and it will stay in that spot as it tracks you.

[@FoodChainTV]

@@TheDroneCreative But how do you do this if you're shooting yourself? Like, if you're in front of the camera and away from the joystick?

[@originalzebruh]

This is a great video that solidified my choice in getting this for my first camera for promotional content for Youth camps and Church events. Especially the points on the size being less of a distraction for those that are camera shy, and of course the quick setting changes

[@tarnishedhourglass]

bro all love i just adore the way you say VADEO

[@andrewcenteno3462]

This was a great review. I’m sold

[@adrianvanleeuwen]

This Pocket 3 is a great mobile camera with gimbal built in. When I start producing more on location videos, this could be my go-to video camera to add to my FF sensor photos for behind the scenes footage and a new YT channel. A lot easier and faster to setup video on the go in good light, and low light looked very impressive on Pocket 3 in that boat scene, compared to Action 4 video cam. Thanks for a great demo. Would be a wonderful vacation video cam as well. 1 inch sensor is much better than smaller 1/3 sensors.

[@kenbahr7235]

Can I ask you what is better quality video between the DJI pocket 3 and the newer iPhones/smart phones?

[@KriticullCTRL]

I think you would be okay with either. Each device has its uses for different situations. Love using my iPhone with the DJI gimbals. The Pocket 3 would be ideal to use for being more discrete in public though.

However, after seeing your video, I'm really considering getting the v3 version. The one inch sensor is very appealing, as well as the larger screen. If my wife complains, I'm going to blame you...😀

[@ruedieboytv]

thank you great Video.

[@_sk_videos]

I've had mine for a week, and my thoughts are almost exactly the same. I've wondered how water resistant it is, if it will be ok from a spray. Some things I want to see improved: - The option to use different LUT's in the app, and even bake in LUT's to recordings. Also would like to see the DJI LUT improved, I have to turn it down to 80% for it to not look ridiculous - DLOG hyper lapse - False color monitoring in the app - Set white balance using a grey card - More first party accessories, or compatibility/integration with the action cam range

[@heyheyNow]

Is there something else you prefer?

[@_sk_videos]

@@heyheyNow Don't get me wrong, I love my pocket 3. For the size and weight, I don't think anything can match its image quality. I come from a full frame mirrorless, so there are just a few things I'm used to having that I wish I had on the pocket 3.

[@Tearoze]

Belfast is so beautiful! Can’t wait to revisit…Nice little camera. I hope they make its follow up waterproof. That’s the only reason why I didn’t buy it. I need something more robust.

[@wvansluisveld3011]

I recently got it and it is a significant improvement over my portable kit with RX100VA and Zhiyun Crane m2. Especially the usability is a great upgrade. One thing in addition to your improvement points is that it is super stupid it can’t go into default storage mode with the filters on. It will twist away with the lens and filter exposed. I do think the quality of my full frame setup is much better but I don’t want to take that along everywhere.

[@TheDroneCreative]

I agree with your point about the filters. It would be nice if the filter could be kept on when turned off.

[@marekhlina74]

bought it already second-hand! so excited... a great combo with dji mic 1 duo and rode Lavalier aftermarket also...610e together!!!. people use to compare it with action cameras which is very wrong - I have been filming on action cameras since GoPro 1....this is a different beast for a different purpose!

[@PradeepKumar-tq4ev]

Does it have pause button while video recording and does it give background blur or portrait effect in photos n vids. Here in India we r not even getting in stock first hand 😅😅. You already bought second hand 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻.

One of the best, genuine, well explained, honest reviews I’ve ever seen, THANKYOU VERY MUCH.

Previously I’ve just used go pro. Many thanks again, great review.

[@Ozpeter]

There are a truckload of features that could be improved or added, but many of them suggest themselves because it's so damn good in the first place - they would be the cherries on the cake. Apart from a fix for the bug whereby the stereo from the internal mics collapses to mono when the Mic 2 is in use (and audio backup is on), my current No.1 item on my wishlist would be the addition of main menu option to configure the functions available by pressing the joystick button. Currently that provides full gimbal lock, which is itself a feature which is far more useful than many users realise. But a missing feature which could be assigned to that button would be the gimbal mode toggle which the Pocket 2 offered when used with the extension rod. This allows you to have tilt lock as the primary gimbal setting but when you press the button (or the joystick if implemented on the P3) the mode switches to follow mode without changing the gimbal direction. Example - you are walking along a path with your dog beside you at your feet and you want to briefly look down at the dog, then back up to the path ahead. Sure you can do that with the joystick movements, but a smoother more intuitive method is to switch to follow mode for the movement just for a few seconds. Currently that isn't practical as gimbal modes are too deep in the menus. Also, focus speed when changing the focus point in the image should be configurable - at present if you tap on the screen to change focus, it snaps at once to the new point of interest, but the ability to make it look like a manual refocus at slower speed would add to the cinematic feel. And.... but let's leave it at that!

[@davefink2326]

Well thought out comments. Yes I love that pocket 2 selfie stick tilt button feature.

[@makeev888]

Please tell me, do I understand correctly that you can get stereo sound using one DJI MIC2, if during the processing process you add a separate audio track, which is recorded with the audio backup function from the built-in microphone enabled? Or is it stupid to add a separate audio track to make the sound better and just resign yourself to recording only in mono?

the only thing that the pocket 4 should have would be the camera from the air 3 that would make it be worth upgrading but you can use the s23u for better close ups.

[@lakesandfells]

This is such a helpful review. I love the Pocket 3 which looks amazing, but feel torn. The one thing that concerns me is that it is fragile, and with the type of filming I do (mainly outdoors) I would worry about damaging it. What I'd love to know is when the Action 5 is coming out, and what improvements that is going to have, for example 1 inch sensor, etc, and how the Action 5 will compare to the Pocket 3.

My Osmo Pocket 3 started having issues with the Depth of Focus/Field. I've checked the PRO settings and have configured it to either Single, Continuous, & Product Showcase, but the shot stays blurry in all three modes. I tried tapping on the subject on the screen but it stays blurry. I have to angle my OP3 upwards then slowly bring it down to shoot a clear video, but after a few seconds, it gets blurry again. I tried resetting my OP3 back to Factory Settings, but the problem still persists. Love the cam, but this blurry issue is so frustrating! Any assistance to resolve this issue would be absolutely helpful!
