DJI Osmo Pocket 3 | The Best Travel Camera (Or A Mistake?)

[@AlbenOsaki]

Picked one up after watching your first video. It’s such a fun camera to use. I got the camera by itself since I have the Rode Wireless Pro and ordered the battery attachment separately. Going to shoot a mini doc in San Diego next week and I’m planning using it for some BTS video.

[@connormccaskill]

That’s awesome man! I’m glad you’ve been enjoying it so far

[@cybertruck4988]

Just bought one to add to my go-pro, nikon DSLR , go-pro fusion 360, and my DJI mini 4 pro collection of camera's. Next is a go-pro 12.

[@JWS1968]

I have this camera and there are a couple of things that you need to watch out for. If you use the camera along side another camera you need to understand that just because you have the camera in PRO mode and set to manual it may still be performing some automatic functions. ISO for example. You can set the camera to a 'range' of ISO like for example 50-100 or 100-400 etc. What this means is it will choose the best ISO within that range automatically therefore adjusting the brightness. I didn't realise it was doing this and when I went to match the two cameras, my DSLR and the Pocket 3, it took me a while to figure out what was going on. It was set by default that way. I sussed it in the end and just made sure I chose a single ISO that was set and didn't function within a range.

[@TourPersia]

The Osmo Pocket 3 is the best camera I've ever used for making videos. The quality is incredible at 4k 60fps! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a small, portable camera that can shoot amazing footage.

[@crisrocchi2722]

it is not really true that if you forget to charge it you have to wait before using it, because you can always use it with a small powerbank (and it also charges very fast)

[@connormccaskill]

Fair enough, but I would like using it with a power bank attached. But still, you’re not wrong

[@DeBroodjesRacing]

With the creator package you get an extra battery to attach to the bottom 😄

[@crisrocchi2722]

@@DeBroodjesRacing The extra battery is nothing more than a powerbank that powers the osmo with usb-c. It's not essential to buy the creator combo (I don't have it and I live just fine anyway)

[@ProtoMarcus]

It charges outstandingly fast for a camera - 0 to 80% in 16 minutes! Nowadays charging isn't really a problem, as you've mentioned, power banks do the job in the go too! (And the battery handle is great!)

[@Канада_Без_Клікбейту]

@@crisrocchi2722what about a mic? Is it good without it?

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Is there an easy way to livestream to KZbin with it?

[@connormccaskill]

Actually yeah, my buddy Terry Warfield just did a livestream with it. He explains how to do it in the live stream

[@GeoTactics]

There's a selfie stick that has a built-in battery charger (power bank), and I think you could even connect a power bank to the separate LAV microphone and just tuck it into your shirt. I would think that this method would extend your battery life for several hours more.

[@nevvanclarke9225]

I think the combination of having the gimbal and the camera built-in to one little unit just makes so much sense for years we bought cameras and then we bought gimbal separately. I guarantee you go pro will copy this and I wish that they did as well. I used my GoPro for a lot of vlogging for a long time, but the issue I had was that the gimbal is quite big and cumbersome and just useless. To be honest. I'm looking forward to getting one of these as I'm getting into KZbin eventually I'm actually a professional photographer and I do think that doing some KZbin will help grow my Photography not looking at trying to get 100,000 subscribers. Not really caring about that at all but well done mate forgetting to 90 K that's awesome I stumbled across your channel. great video

[@raalaa121]

I'm a wedding videographer and been contemplating vlogging family holidays, but I tell you what ... Micro Four Thirds (my panasonic G9) + the tiny lenses that come on that system ( i usually just take my 14-140mm) is my perfect set up for holidays. Come home, edit the raw images with a simple LUT and then send them off to photobox for a layflat album and then I have something tangible to look through over the years. I just don't like video personally unless i'm being paid to film a wedding. For personal stuff I prefer photos.

[@Ozpeter]

The ideal camera doesn't get between you and the experience. That is one way the Pocket 3 can score. Easy to get good results, low profile, can act as your very own cameraperson. Fragility - check out the ScottyMakesStuff cases. Zoom - don't use it. You would get the same results in editing, as the sensor hasn't got the spare pixels that the Pocket 2 had. Battery - the battery handle gives you real hot swap capability, mid shot, and few cameras have that ability with their internally mounted batteries.

[@connormccaskill]

Thanks for the suggestions

[@Ozpeter]

@@connormccaskill Oops - I forgot to say "Great video!" 🙂

[@AtillaAtesOfficial]

Amazing content brother. What LUTS (Post-edit) did you use to make this video? Looks great!

[@connormccaskill]

I made my own custom Luts! I think there’s a link in the description

[@nevvanclarke9225]

I do believe that they need to make an action based one same camera same setup just make it waterproof making something waterproof is actually not that difficult. It doesn't need to be waterproof but just be able to handle a shower or two and I do think that an action based one, even if it's $1500 Australian people will jump all over it

[@SwissTraveler1]

Hi, how long does the battery last when shooting a clip 4K 60 fps thanks

[@supersam1293]

DJI Osmo Pocket 3 also has a battery handle that provides an additional 100 minutes of shooting time, so its battery level is not a problem at all. Didn't you buy this battery handle?

[@GesRahmanMedia]

Active track is a cool feature but it doesn't really apply well for cinematic shots. 2:40 The panning is still too rigid and distracting which ultimately takes away from the shot. Hoping for more optimizations in the future!

[@Adventureswithjbartsss]

i love it, crazy quality and so compact.

[@connormccaskill]

It really is awesome 👏

[@ats_us_nai]

I recently won a mini 3 pro in a competition and fell in love with DJI, as I've next to none video making skills I wasn't getting much use out of it. So long story short I bought the osmo pocket 3 to get a better learning off the skill without the fear the off flying and it's blowing my socks off my footage still doesn't look professional but I'm slowing learning by watching every video known to man on KZbin ❤ I'd recommend the osmo pocket 3 for beginners

[@SomeFreeTimeActivities]

Wait, hold up.. The audio.. is this clear without the wireless mic from the creator combo set?

[@SergSpace]

4:52 Battery draws down like crazy in my opinion. Spare battery pack, that comes with Combo Creator throwing charge into built in battery only about 60%, then it's depleted. I got additionally Smatree Portable power bank with 5000mAh (vs Pocket 3 battery handle 950mAh). That one helps to survive through, lets say, the whole day in Disneyland, filming parade, fireworks, other shows and walking arounds. But with built-in battery- No WAY, especially if you filming in 4k.

[@Fil_Staros]

А какая камера или телефон даст возможность снимать целый день без перезаряда? Там же камера больше двух часов снимать может без остановки на родном заряде! Дополнительный даст еще часа-полтора. Кому нужно больше?! Но так то есть фокус - заряжать дополнительный аккомулятор пока работает основной. Вставлять его обратно, ждать пока он передаст энергию в камеру и снова ставить на зарядку! Так можно снимать без остановки хоть сутки, полагаю. Но в целом - уж что что, а заряда камере хватает с запасом!

[@SergSpace]

​@@Fil_Staros Nobody's talking about continues whole day shooting. Of course you can do it in cycle if you near by a wall outlet like if you sit and film at home whole day. But when you on trip, after filming while you walking + couple of shows, the built-in battery will be depleted in about 45 minutes at 4k30 Settings. Depends on how much time you spend on reviews of your footage, changing camera settings and so on it could be much, much less. I charge built-in battery to 100% and at first power on the P3 shows 99%. Camera is new and so is battery. Spare battery which comes with Pocket 3 kit is not really of big capacity. It charged my P3 internal battery with spare one that came with kit from 30% to 67% and it went dead. So it's practically adds about 33% - another 15 minutes or so for 4k30 filming. If you filming show, it's at least for 20-30 minutes. 2 shows and 1 walk through amusement park and your battery is out of juice. Even at 1080p60 built-in battery depletes pretty fast. I'm talking from my personal experience. Unless if you do couple of short videos for whole day, the batteries which come with kit is not enough. Besides in many cases, I had to re-film some videos. if you want it look more or less professional. So, yeah, if you have nothing much to film then the battery is may enough for you.

[@Fil_Staros]

@@SergSpace что ж. Я не снимал слишком долго. Хотя я снимал как то небольшой концерт и батарея и не собиралась разрядиться после часа съемки) Правда я использовал 1080 и камера стояла на месте (стабилизатор активно не работал). Что ж. Пауэрбанк отлично заряжает камеру и ее дополнительную батарею. Емкость батареи камеры в 2-3 раза меньше батареи смартфона. Так что обычный пауэрбанк может заряжать ее много раз) Насколько понимаю, другие камеры подобного класса разряжаются быстрее, чем Покет. Так что в целом батарея является сильной стороной этой камеры по сравнению с аналогами.

[@SergSpace]

@@Fil_Staros If you say so. The battery was not enough for what I described above. Traditional power bank is not a thing. Small capacity power bank is barely enough for one phone charge. This is all depends on your needs. Small needs - little discharge. I didn't buy P3 to fix it in one spot. I could use for that purpose my 5D Mark IV, which I used before with Weebill -S or tripod for that matter. it's not as heavy as time consuming to put camera on the gimball, connect external Mic and cable from camera to gimball to control camera with Weebill handle controls and then disconnect it to take a picture , then put it back for video. FF camera quality is good, but too much hassle. This is why I got P3 - the Mobility, which would save time. Now I had to get second Mic2 for better sound quality, bracket to mount 2 Mics on P3 and another spare battery. The thing becomes to look like Christmas tree with decorations.

[@Fil_Staros]

@@SergSpace возможно вы правы. Я не так опытен в съемке разными камерами. Но по характеристикам и обзорам судя, камеры типа Sony ZV и тому подобные работают еще меньше. У меня с собой в дороге пауэрбанк на 20000 Его хватает и для телефона, и для для ноутбука, в редких случаях, и для камеры. Камеру я от него могу зарядить, судя по всему, 10-15 раз. По моему более чем достаточно. В целом в режиме "хожу и снимаю" о батарее я вообще не думал - ее было с запасом.

It’s a vlogging and B-roll monster. Just stick to that and you can’t go wrong. 👍🏼

[@ivoliYT]

Beautiful video. Pocket 3 is amazing. Creator Combo is even better.

[@ProtoMarcus]

Did you use manual exposure? I notice some "jumpiness" and lack of motion blur in movement and motion usually seen with inadequate shutter speed 😅 Once I switched to manual exposure that "jumpiness" was gone and natural motion blur was back (1/60 shutter speed when recording in 4K30) Also you can definitely use the camera as it is charging from a power bank (or the battery handle) - it also has fast charging: 0 to 80% in 16 minutes! It is not the "perfect camera" but it isn't trying to be either - but the features it offers make it a SUPERB vlogging and travel camera Thanks for your overview!

[@connormccaskill]

Appreciate your input man! Yeah I tended to set it in auto for convenience, but I’m thinking I shouldn’t have now.

[@poporortodox]

Can you please tell me if the camera overheats in the gimbal area?

[@Fil_Staros]

Забавная камера. Помимо кучи возможностей, она еще и снимает часто красивее, чем в реальности глазами видишь. Не в смысле каких то изощренных цветов. А в том, что детали прорисовывает так, что бледный выцветший рисунок на поверхности вдруг становится новее и обнаруживаешь, что старая вещь была красива. А так да - я взял с собой эту камеру одну. И комплекта мне хватает на кучу сценариев. Зума не хватает иногда, да. Но не все сразу...

Anyone know if the battery handle can be charged while not connected to the main body? That way a spare battery handle could be charging while another one is in use on the Osmo body.

[@maiwurld2578]

Yes

[@Fil_Staros]

Скажу больше! Ручка заряжает камеру. То есть можно подождать, пока ручка отдаст энергию и поставить ручку на зарядку. Так что, скорее всего, одной ручки должно хватить, что бы поддерживать зарядв в камере без остановки. В прочем я не совсем представляю кому не хватит энергии в камере и ручке - там часа на 3 съемки получится! При этом камера заряжается очень быстро - как современный телефон. Так что любой перерыв на кофе даст возможность зарядить аккомулятор.

[@maiwurld2578]

Yes

[@suryavzb]

I am planning to buy Osmo mobile 6 and DJI Mic..do you think buying this is great idea rather than buying other two accessories?

[@SergSpace]

It's cheaper, but what is your goal? If you want to start recording 4k video with turning flip screen, have good low-light performance and sound recording (including Stereo), control motion blur, have wireless mic with remote control, get a face tracking, keep thing portable - that would be the Pocket 3 if you like to spend more time for setup your phone on gimbal and not to have Pocket 3 features, then go for gimbal. I have 5d Mark IV and setting up Weebill -S is a really hitting my nerve eventually.

If you talking about Pocket 3, just turn off tracking for sceneries. Whatever get in yellow square in the middle is where your focus would be.
