[@lonceyswildcairns333]

Cheers so much I agree with all pros and cons 😊❤

[@Thomasmcse]

Very helpful to decide.

[@lakeb82]

Agreed, the fixed aperture is kind of annoying. Sometimes I just want more focal depth. However, I've been following and renting this product line for years now when I've needed it, and I finally jumped at this one. it's a great balance. My favorite feature at this point is stealth. It's perfect for getting a great shot without drawing attention. I also kinda like how the creatiors kit basically has a DJI MIC 2 transmitter. Nice touch.

[@davidfitzpatrick7399]

My still Pocket 2 works great and the battery is still charging and giving me lots of time. Would, Should and Could we always wants something better and maybe you'll find your dream camera in the pocket 4. I have dropped the pocket 2 and once from over 5ft and it still working great and I do have the DJI refresh. Pocket 1, Pocket 2 and now the Pocket 3 are not water proof and I use the pocket in the snow and there's always something missing from every camera or we wouldn't buy the next great thing.

[@dennywordkiller4253]

My biggest con is pan drift, an issue I never had with the original. If I hold the camera and pan left or right manually, it will take a second or two before the lens comes to a full stop in the direction that I am pointing. I've adjusted the gimbal speed and modes in various combinations and nothing seems to work. The camera also doesn't reliably center when titling up or down manually and then pointing ahead. More often than not I have to tap the joystick twice to recenter. Checking the DJi forums and elsewhere, these seem to be common issues that haven't been addressed in the latest firmware update.

[@festivaltv]

how to use inbuild and wireless mics at same time ? settings?

[@wslee]

Would you suggest for alternative instead of this pocket 3. currently using iPhone 13 Pro, quite fascinating with this gimbal camera. However not sure is it worth to buy given that is quite pricy. Mainly because using to take video for family trip and etc. Standard and creator combo, which to choose if I’m going to purchase

[@SwenglishSteve1967]

Like the tracking & 180 turn button but not waterproof is the deal breaker for me

[@FreeLensImage]

Whould you choose OP3 or zve10+sigma 10-18f2.8. maybe you are able to do a comparison? Id be very thankfull!❤

[@nelsonngu]

definitely go for ZV-E10 + Sigma 10-18 F2.8 if your content is about shooting someone else, B-roll, f2.8 aperture for DOF, you can take photos with it too. If your style/content is about vlogging, recording yourself moving around, loving the tracking system, need some gimbal footage. OP3 to go.

[@harishhari-lh6ub]

Me too thinking the same what to buy...but if we go for zve10l there will be lot more things to be learned..near to professional

[@robertquinonez_]

Question, I just bought a Scorp 2 mini gimbal kit for $280 and the Rode wireless Pro for my iphone pro max...awsome set up but so huge and time to set up. Do you think the pocket 3 is a better choice from that set up I have for content creation? I do not own a camera at the moment. I can still return gimbal and Rode mic. Thanks in advance.

[@StefanMalloch]

I would 1000% personally.

[@bobnason4147]

No mention that it records in 15 minute chunks, or is this not true?

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

I was hoping to get this ...but not at that price point. Thanks.

[@Soufsidefreakytae]

What software did you use to edit and upload this video pls

[@StefanMalloch]

Premiere Pro

[@Soufsidefreakytae]

@@StefanMalloch thanks your the best

[@FreeLensImage]

Always dreamed abuot being the first comment 😂😂

[@mrngreenthumb]

the entire top of this including the gimble" is metal not plastic. unless magnets stick to plastic now"

[@jonathanalfred9847]

No removable battery sucks.

[@nunosantos2015]

Photos is my 6 con

[@vsstdtbs3705]

Con 6: It does not active track a bike, car or animal.

[@MarS-dc2qx]

Don’t get it if you have an iPhone 15 pro that’s all you need

[@robertquinonez_]

I just bought a Scorp 2 mini gimbal with AI tracking kit for $280 and the Rode wireless Pro for my iphone pro max...awsome set up but so huge and time to set up. You still think its not worth getting the Pocket 3? I can still return gimbal and Rode mic.

[@MarS-dc2qx]

Yeah for 700 you can get a Sony camera
