DJI OSMO POCKET 3 - LOW LIGHT vs Sony FX3 ZV-E1 - WEDDING FILMMAKING BEHIND THE SCENES BTS

In this video I test the DJI OSMO POCKET 3 in a low light environment wedding video shoot and compare its low light performance vs the Sony FX-3 Sony a7SIII Sony ZV-E1. Everyone wants to know HOW DOES THE DJI OSMO POCKET 3 DO IN LOW LIGHT and IS THE LOW LIGHT FOOTAGE OF THE DJI OSMO POCKET 3 ANY GOOD. First we have to define what is low light video and we have to compare it to the best low light camera available the Sony Fx3 a7SIII and zv-e1. I show the footage and I show a behind the scenes BTS of a wedding video I filmed using the DJI OSMO POCKET 3

Hey everyone, I realize I deleted the Audio at 4:51 by mistake. I was just explaining you can use the DJI Pocket 3 next to the main camera and get a 50mm type shot and also get a 20mm focal length on DJI Pocket 3 and mix the shot in the edit no problem...

I had already subscribed for all videos, and was listening to you suggest who the pocket 3 was for. You stated most people will match the pocket 3 with your main camera to get additional shots, but when you were naming off the main cameras and said to a lesser extent....and I quote...."Canon Trash"....I first erupted in a roaring belly laughed and I am still laughing as I type this comment...😂😂🤣🤣😂😂....I love it. I know most people will say it is the photographer and not the camera, and this is very true, but you made my morning with that one! "To a lesser extent, Canon Trash"😂😂😂. You had some great opening lines too....DJI ain't paying me sh*t! Great video showing real world use of the DJI pocket 3, and sharing some of your skills of the weddings you captured. Loved the ending, I had to come back and add that to my response, Awesome video Sir.
