HEY travelin' creators! I was so so surprised by this camera and loved having it on my most recent 3 week trip to Portugal and Italy! * Have you shot on it? Would love to hear what you think of it!*

[@chris-li6om]

I had the insta360 x4 sent it bk, over hyped imo, went for this creator combo I love this so much it’s so impressive It goes everywhere with me! Just ordered the magnetic mount for it, so no need for tripod anymore

[@StachePower]

legitimately the best travel camera, period.

[@tobization]

That was one of the (if not THE) most relaxing videos I have ever watched. The beat, your voice, the editing style...absolutely chill. I've watched a bazillion YT videos on the Pocket 3, none of which were presented like this. I have one along with every accessory you can find. You nailed all the salient points and then some. Well done!

[@gravel.travel]

Wow, thank you for the kind words! Happy to keep sharing about travel tech so lemme know if there are any products you're curious about!

[@joseconejo8117]

Thanks for the review, watching your video was very pleasing, great job.

[@TomKaszuba]

You’re a natural on screen………A Superb, relaxed presence. I thoroughly enjoyed this video.

[@alantay9409]

Excellent review. Thank you for your time and effort.

[@abchappell01]

That was an absolutely wonderful video presentation. I appreciate that you gave out practical information on what to expect when using this camera. Thank you very much.😊

[@gravel.travel]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dunwitch]

Great video, convinced me to get one for my trip

[@minimaltourist]

Really liked your video, super talented. Hope your channel will lift off!

[@kubectlgetpo]

Incredible review! Real points that matter like battery life good enough, data management, etc.

[@Swizzy19891]

just got this, cant wait to use it in europe this summer

[@CurtisCampbell_]

Got mine last week, so excited to take it on many adventures. Great video!

[@gravel.travel]

Thanks for checking out the video! Hope your adventures are epic!!

[@TengsWorldOfficial]

Thank you for this review very useful. Watching here from the Philippines 🇵🇭

[@mysuppressor]

Great video and this is probably the best DJI Pocket 3 video to really showcase what this beast is capable of!

[@gravel.travel]

Wow, thank you for the kind words!

[@felpflores]

Your review was really honest and it was nice watch your video style.

[@gravel.travel]

Thank you so much! 🙂

[@Kabardino-Balkaria07]

You shoot better than most bloggers and showed the real picture of this small camera.

[@matthiasgehtwandern]

nice post and impressions.I use the Osmo Pocket 3 for my Hikingstorrys and Reals am very satisfied with it.

[@Beyond9.5]

Congrats...i got mine yesterday...❤

[@single-shot-video]

Thanks for not reviewing the camera from a studio, like most other reviewers. You showed real Travel Clips that show the quality and practicality in actual locations. I loved your review and cant wait for my travels using this versatile camera. Big thanks.

[@gravel.travel]

So stoked you loved it and that’s our goal is showing the real use of good tech for travel!

Thanks for watching and joining the community!

[@Kabardino-Balkaria07]

These two cameras complement each other, but they cannot replace each other. Fx3 shoots much better and has more features. But in places where it may be unsafe or you are too lazy to take a large camera out of your backpack, much less put it on an electronic stabilizer, thereby attracting too much attention to yourself, Op3 is really much preferable there.

[@Moislesha]

Cool video! 😊

[@gravel.travel]

Appreciate you watching!

[@MoroccanReflections]

This review is smoothly organized it felt like a short

[@gravel.travel]

Appreciate you watching!

[@mitp2514]

I love my dji pocket 3.. I have used this god knowa how many times.. Great investment and this little thing us amazing.. If you don't have one you need to get it now.. The only thing i don't like about the pocket 3 is the cover it comes with because the gimble can rotate outward and i had to get a proper protective case for it..

[@dougmacmillan1712]

Excellent review with some lovely shots! We are looking at renting a canal boat in France this autumn and I'd love to use this instead of my Fuji camera. The problem is I'm tempted to buy a DJI drone as well!

[@gravel.travel]

That sounds like an amazing trip!

[@theomerbarak]

Such an awesome camera. I’m shooting so much more on it

[@xolis]

Could you recommend OP3 for record northern lights?

[@sanifoo]

Thanks for the great video and useful tips. Been contemplating over this camera for some time. May just get one after this video. May i confirm that you’ve got the “basic” camera package, not the creator combo..?

[@gravel.travel]

Hi! Yes just the basic combo kit!

[@petrub27]

I really hope all the other major camera companies come up w a similar product

[@AndrewCCM]

Love my D JAY I Pocket Osmo 3. :)

[@KutCut]

Great review! love it, just a question, can you turn off the osmo with the filter? Is it okay? I have a filter too but I take it off before witching the osmo off, if the former is okay maybe I can also do that to drop the hassle of trying my usual routine. Thank you.

[@gravel.travel]

Hey! I've been able to turn mine off with the filters on, it just doesn't spin the camera to be completely covered but it fits in the case and protects the lens still!

[@garfieldmtify]

great video! agreed with all you said. when they add zoom from a distance (remote) that will be super, increase the brightness of the screen for a very sunny day i think it will be even best plus 4k with vertical filming. (maybe it might be just me dunno for sure, the background music while you were talking i felt it was distracting - i liked it just thought your vocals and the music were competing a bit for my attention - sorry to say but thought perhaps good to know:) Your lens filters which set in the 3 you showed in your video, thanks.

[@gravel.travel]

Thanks for sharing! I'll be more mindful in our next uploads of the BG music! The lens filters in the set are the Freewell Bright Day Filter Kit! (comes with 4)

[@sanremosallymusictravel]

Hello my friend, a very interesting video. You're right, the DJ I Pocket 3 is a great camera nice job very interesting video beautiful shots.😉🇮🇹🌴🌴👍🏻👍🏻

[@gravel.travel]

Thank you for watching!

[@JoeSzilagy]

I've had mine for about a month and love it! I was going to bring my Sony a7C and a Weebill S gimbal to England (from Canada) sometime this year, but... I'm thinking I could do just about as well with this little, light, compact and superb quality beast!

[@gravel.travel]

Absolutely! It’s seriously such an impressive little camera!

[@Youknowthebo]

Love that you do these kind of reviews besides "only" covering your bags ❤

[@gravel.travel]

Thank you for checking our videos out! We just wanna share the tech we love along side our epic products too :)

[@leonardmalkowski4840]

Greetings, I just picked up the Pocket 3 creator bundle, and I am really enjoying it, I threw together a sample of the video quality indoors watching a band perform (using D-Log and color graded in DaVinci Resolve Studio). I also used the DJI wireless mic to capture the audio. I didn't include a link to the video, because, I'm not sure if that is allowed. One more note, you may want to check out the Rode Wireless Pro mics, I also picked that up for my Sony A7R5 and it really is some nice hardware, and comes with the recharge case for the transmitters and receiver, long battery life, and 32-bit float (like the DJI mic). The pocket 3 will make a great B roll camera as well as a great just grab and go camera with really nice video quality. Is it as good as my $6,500 Sony? No, but this camera impressed me and the creator bundle was around $700, and I would recommend it.

[@gravel.travel]

Love this perspective and totally agree that it's still not as good as a Sony Alpha or FX camera, but seriously packs a punch for its price/footprint!

[@DEURALIVLOG481]

Your new subscriber❤deurali vlog❤❤

[@galacticom]

I like how you used two carmeras to film part of your product review, and how you switched to the wide lens on the whim... How do you stabilize the camera in your pocket while you inconspicuously walk around?

[@gravel.travel]

Do you mean how I stabilized the Sony Fx3 or the DJI Osmo pocket 3? The pocket is built on a gimbal so it’s always stabilized and the Sony fx3 I had on a mini tripod wherever I wanted it!

[@galacticom]

@@gravel.travelI was looking at chest harnesses, etc. on Amazon for the Osmo Pocket... If I wore a bra, I suspect that would stabilize things too... haha... though, that is not an option for me. The harness I saw had a magnetic release, so it can be removed easily. Maybe I am going overboard... What I like about the OSMO is it's minimalism, and if the gimbal is sufficient, then all's good. thanks for your insights.

[@johnny_bravo9990]

Light on your hair 2:40 I liked it

[@samirjha1919]

Great video ! I've a pocket 2 but I'm skeptical about buying pocket 3 because of the screen malfunction reported by several people . Did you faced similar issues with screen ?

[@gravel.travel]

I never had any issues! I hadn’t heard about that either but I’m sure DJI is covering the issues?

[@samirjha1919]

@@gravel.travel I'm from India and we don't have official Dji stores here. Dji online return /repair is a big hassel and best avoided. Thanks for the reply! Have a nice day!!

[@joelongo2275]

How many filters can you stack with no issues? Meaning can you have the wide angle lens and pro mist filter on and if necessary a ND filter? Thanks 👍

[@gravel.travel]

From my experience I don't think you could stack filters as the filter would need to be magnetic on both sides to do that.

[@KoiAquaponics]

Can you test a quick filesize for me? If you shot it at 4k60 and 10bit for 5 minutes, how large is the hevc file?

[@gravel.travel]

Looks like from a quick google search it'd be around 3.6GB

[@elmz_thegamer6511]

porto i was just there

[@bartbetz3395]

What's the little base you use on your Pocket 3? Looks good & small

[@gravel.travel]

hey! Its the Ulanzi extendable mini tripod base plate, I have it linked in the description!

[@MauroTandoi]

Good review. I have accessories (mirroless ,action cam) of all kinds, even professional but on this product I am not convinced, in fact you do the same things you do with a high end iPhone with a gimball, I don't see the advantages, if not the disadvantages, dust, rain, snow ..and sand..are not ideal for this product, and the battery is not removable and you give after a while it will start to lose effifciency....and if it had some problem you have to throw away everything (if not do the care). What advantages do you see compared to an iPhone ? what do you do with it more ?

[@gravel.travel]

For me it’s the portability and that it’s not my phone. My phone gets used for everything else while traveling but doesn’t inspire me to create or capture moments via video. Also of course doesn’t have a built in gimbal to the same effect as the Osmo. It really is a use case scenario and how you see yourself traveling/using cameras. As I say in the video, the best camera you USE is the best camera you own.

[@stpetersburgwalker]

I also want a camera like this. Greetings from Russia!

[@fashionfitnesstrends5668]

Hi mam please reply what i buy for cinematic stable videos..Samsung galaxy s23 ultra? Pocket 3 ? Gopro ?😊

[@gravel.travel]

all depends your budget and preferred use. Personally I never once have bought a GoPro and kept using it past one time in water. I’ve never shot on a Samsung galaxy and typically wouldn’t prefer a phone over a genuine camera. Soooo… Osmo pocket 3 I’d recommend.

[@skullybeatz8183]

what camera are you using to film the introduction of this video?

[@gravel.travel]

Hey! The Sony FX3 was used through the whole video!

[@skullybeatz8183]

@@gravel.travel nice! Which lens did you use?

[@_kopiter_]

The question, if you really need it anymore, just another iterm for travel, maybe better keep to iphone (crazy good video quality) / any other recent smartphone out there + power bank

[@gravel.travel]

I wish this was the case for me as a traveler and creator but the iPhone doesn’t inspire capturing for me and this camera does. Everyone is different tho, so if the phone works for you- amazing!

[@jcpayne]

Do you have the name of that charge brick please?

Yep it’s the Anker Nano Power bank - 10,000mah 30W charger with built in USB C cable!
