[@Ozpeter]

You may be doing the right thing to use the auto mode most of the time. Doing some testing last night I noticed that even if the settings displayed in auto mode are replicated in manual mode, the image is significantly different - for instance, face exposure against a light background is spot on, whereas in manual is was much darker. Some AI processing going on, I think, not just global exposure setting. When using filters, if it tucked the filter away when powering off, you could not change the filter as readily as you did when discussing this issue. Just a thought. Background blur - I think it is partly a matter of changing shooting style to accommodate this. If you are vlogging about a location, spend less time in selfie mode and more time just showing the scene, in focus, while you talk off camera. And if the camera focusses on the wrong thing, tap the required focus point on the screen. My two gripes are the way in which the internal mics recorded on the audio backup wave file collapse to mono when using the Mic 2 (but not a third party mic...) and the external mic disconnection which happens when the mic is connected to the port on the battery handle and the battery goes flat. This could be disasterous for a prolonged shot at an event. Like missing the vows in a wedding video for instance...

[@CRE8VALU]

This camera is a GAME CHANGER for people who were on the fence about joining the “creator economy” due to “tech overwhelm”. It’s so good that I am about to release a “Creator Bootcamp” course based primarily around this camera.

It can replace any camera, I have the original Osmo Pocket to me it was great I used it as a main camera along with 3 other camera for a music video recording of a band and the low light footage was good. It's not on par with my Sony cams it's a fact but it's good and good enough for youtube our target audience viewing them they don't care what camera I used or know settings I have they know the content was great the filming was good multiple cameras and music video is what they wanted. We are so spoiled in camera tech these day that we're forgetting where we came from like in the era in the 90s of Sony camcorders that were fantastic to people then and good enough for America's Funniest Videos.

[@jimizell]

DJI is a Chinese manufacturer. In Asia the FILTER GAME is insane and in China it's on steroids. Western reviewers all seem to 💩on the inclusion of the beauty filter but its a solid selling point in the east and doesn't affect usage if you don't want to use it.

[@thaticelandicguy]

I don’t mind it, I just don’t see the use case really, or I do but also don’t lol. I work with Sony and I work sometimes with DJI as well (this video was not sponsored). And they always want me to emphasise on the beauty filters 😂 I’m always like “uhm I’m a grown ass full bearded Viking dude”

[@jimizell]

@@thaticelandicguy a western male is definitely not the target demographic, 😅; though the effects can enhance male faces without feminizing them with a subtle hand. If anything my complaint is that the beauty filter has to be generated via smartphone export which makes the workflow process more tedious.

I don't film myself, but I don't have a gimbal, so I was wondering if this would be useful for when I need a steady pan or follow clip. But then I have my phone that can do that. So Im really not sure if I'd end up using it. I also believe you can't set it to just being still and not tracking

I see more and more creators using this thing and in the beginning I was confused, because the footage is so smooth with a phone like look. Thanks for sharing your experience and take on it :) Would you rather take this or something like the Iphone 15 Pro to should LOG footage? I think the Pocket 3 size is currently unbeatable, but phone footage are similar, depending on light condition, since pocket has 1inch sensor.

[@markshirley01]

I think the same - is it much more useful than the latest phones, I think if you need to track yourself then maybe But everything else a phone can do it

[@Ozpeter]

You have to compare with a phone on a gimbal. And that is large and expensive. A gimbal is much more than just a stabilizer.

[@babayaga2890]

It is not similar to a phone, it is much better. Especially in low light. The stabilization is unparalleled too.

[@TaoCovillault]

You got me to comment and raise your engagement 😂 So the reason the quality drops when you increase the framerate, I’m sure you know but some viewers might wonder, it’s simply because of the bitrate being devided by the number of frames per seconds 💁🏽‍♂ You have this limitated bandwith so if you ask to fit more frames in it, each frames has to contain less informations… It’s not necesarely an exact division because it depends how they setup their codec but anyway, you usually can’t get the same quality when you double the framerates…

[@thaticelandicguy]

Hahah thank you for the comment, and the clarification :)

[@davefink2326]

8:27 regarding the background blur, you are on to something. It's just strange and artificial-looking when a blurry background stays rock-stable while the walking vlogger's in-focus head bounces around like a pinball within the frame. A fix would be a setting that makes the gimbal track the focused face, letting the background move around naturally.

[@thaticelandicguy]

Doesn’t it feel a little artificial? I’ve always thought that it might be enhanced. It is a f2.0 lens and 20mm equivalent. So if you are close it should give you some bokeh. But still.

[@josiahmos5880]

That background blur is the only reason I decided not to buy it. Absolutely agree. Sigh

[@OrlandoPla]

[@joelconolly5574]

Only thing I wished is for more zoom cause 2x is not it 😂. Not sure it'll possible to slap the Mavic's dual camera system and call it a day or just have a single long module for all 3 focal length. Let's just see how DJI do that with the 4.

[@markjob6354]

New Feature Requests for the New DJI OSMO Pocket 3 1. Add a dwelling time for each of up to four settable movement positions in Motion Time-Lapse Mode. As each of the four settable positions programmed into a motion time-lapse sequence is reached, the end user could set from 1 to 10 seconds of a pause in gimbal movement as each programmed position is reached during the sequence before the gimbal moves forward to the next programmed position. This would yield a much more dynamic and professional looking, smoother motion time-lapse sequence. 2. In Motion Time-Lapse Mode the ability to set movement ease in and ease out settings from 0.5 to 3 seconds for each programmable gimbal position before gimbal movement normal progression rate is reached. 3. True 24.00p filming speed. 4. The ability to set time-lapse sequences based on 24.00p. 5. The ability to be able to record from the DJI Mic 2 and from a plugged in via USB audio source at the same time. 6. Adding a 10 Bit 4:2:2 recordable video codec. 7. Please add zoom capability when shooting in all time-lapse modes.

[@Ozpeter]

Zoom is best avoided on this camera - it has no spare pixels, unlike the previous model, so it is no different from cropping when editing (where you can change your mind).

[@markjob6354]

@@Ozpeter Yes. I understand that, but sometimes you need to get just a little closer to that mountain top. I would have thought it was just the opposite with the OSMO Pocket 3, because I don't see much image degradation when you zoom in 2X in 4K on the one inch sensor. On the OG OSMO Pocket the sensor was the same size as most small cell phones, and there were many shots I made where I thought the results were too wide but digitally zooming in post was not really an option due to the tiny sensor. Since number three has a one inch sensor, then you could also stay wide and zoom in post and probably get a better result.

[@Ozpeter]

@@markjob6354 Consensus seems to be that DJI made the right choice in choosing a 1" type sensor with large pixels and fewer of them. The previous model had a quad beyer sensor so that when zooming, it could use those spare pixels with much less quality loss than a plain crop would provide. Now those spare pixels are not present, so the more you zoom in, the more you move from 4K to 1080.

[@MicaelWidell]

I really love this camera. Very close to perfect. My only two gripes (and these are pretty small!) are: 1. It takes too long to turn on and start filming. It's like a few seconds. And considering this is the kind of camera you want to be able to just whip out and start filming with, that is a little bit frustrating. But you get used to it. 2. The notifications, for example when connecting the microphone, are a bit too in the way, and they stay for too long. When I want to film something quickly, I hate having a third of the screen blocked by a notification that the microphone was connected. But all in all I love this camera, and I see nothing else on the market that comes close to it if you want a small simple vlog camera that gives beautiful footage!

[@ProtoMarcus]

Your first point, ''too long to turn on and start filming'' - there is an option to automatically start filming as you rotate the screen/turn on the device! It takes >1.5s to do so, that's not very long - and the feature is very convenient! Second point, I agree - there should be an option to fully deactivate them, or conditionally deactivate them (off when filming, etc)

[@quentinskitchen]

Dude, 1.5 seconds is pretty dang fast. The only way to go faster is to tape the camera to your body and leave it recording 24hrs/7. Then you will never miss any 1.5 seconds of your daily life :D

[@michaelbell75]

You can do all this with an iPhone 15 Pro Max, plus you can get 13mm-120mm focal lengths, better colors, MUCH high quality video in ProRes and better LOG. No reason to buy an Osmo Pocket.

[@Ryansavagesstla]

[@juliom3552]

Half the price in my country, I think that is a good reason. Add to it the problems inherent to any smartphone, (battery life etc). IPhone is amazing, don't get me wrong, but It is not a competitor in this price range and type of product.

[@thaticelandicguy]

Yea most probably can use their phone, but as stated above iPhone 15max is much more expensive. Plus the ProRes is such an hassle, big files and you need to carry an external ssd drive with you. But you get different lenses with the iphone. But then on the other hand the osmo has a gimbal, 1inch sensor, a transmitter microphone and it’s super user friendly. I think it just comes down to preference and budget.

[@michaelbell75]

@@thaticelandicguy I use a little thumb drive for my 15 Pro Max, it's great and doesnt add much of anything to the setup. A very small hassle to get like 20 times better quality video. Even the 4k 30p ProRes with no external drive needed shoots in 12 bit at 760mbps. The 4K 60p Pocket 3 only shoots 10 bit at 56mbps.The 4K 30 shoots something awful like 48mbps.
