DJI POCKET 3 | 60 TIPS & TRICKS

[@Khashie]

Here's the transcript: 1. **Dual Charging**: Plug the battery handle into the Pocket 3E and use a dual USB-C cable to charge the mic and the Pocket 3 simultaneously. 2. **Larger Clip Limit**: The Pocket 3 allows recording up to 17GB before splitting the clip, unlike the Pocket 2, which split at 4GB. 3. **Weather Caution**: The Pocket 3 is not waterproof, so take cover if it starts raining. 4. **EV Meter Adjustment**: Swipe from the right to adjust the EV meter while recording without diving into deeper settings. 5. **Switching Video Compression**: If h.265 is causing playback issues, switch to h.264, but be aware of restrictions like losing the ability to shoot in D-Log M, HLG, or 4K 120fps. 6. **Joystick Back Button**: Press the joystick once to act as the back button in menu screens. 7. **Wide Angle Lens Storage**: You can store the Pocket 3 with the wide-angle lens attached, but the gimbal head won’t lock. 8. **Continuous Recording Tests**: Inside: 50 minutes in 4K 25fps before overheating. Outside: 153 minutes until battery depletion. 9. **Joystick Gimbal Control**: Press and hold the joystick to lock the gimbal, double press to center, and triple press to rotate the camera. 10. **Wind Muff Care**: Store the mic properly to avoid damaging the wind muff. 11. **Using iPhone 15 as Power Bank**: You can charge the Pocket 3 with an iPhone 15, but the Pocket 3 needs to have less charge than the iPhone. 12. **D-Log M Restriction**: You can only shoot in D-Log M in normal video mode, not in low light or slow motion. 13. **Rotating Horizontal Videos**: If a video appears vertical but was shot horizontally, rotate it 90° in editing software. 14. **Auto-Recording on Screen Rotate**: Enable screen rotate and capture to start recording as soon as the screen is flipped. 15. **Mic 2 Controls**: Start/stop recording and enable wind reduction using the link button on the Mic 2. 16. **Active Track Positioning**: Use the joystick to move your position within the frame during active tracking. 17. **Glamour Effects**: Enable and preview glamour effects via the Mimo app; they are not visible on the Pocket 3 itself. 18. **Dual Audio Recording**: Record audio separately on the Pocket 3 and Mic 2 by disconnecting the two devices. 19. **Gimbal Head Orientation**: Set the gimbal head to face you upon startup if you’re mainly vlogging. 20. **Screen Rotation Settings**: Adjust the screen rotation to control how quickly the Pocket 3 powers off or stays on. 21. **Lens Cleaning**: Clean your lens before shooting to avoid unusable clips due to fingerprints. 22. **Shooting Orientation Settings**: Control whether the screen orientation dictates the shooting orientation or not. 23. **Face Track in Selfie Mode**: Turn on face tracking in selfie mode to keep yourself framed while moving. 24. **Original Mic Compatibility**: The original Mic 1 works with the Pocket 3 but needs the receiver plugged in. 25. **Avoid Finger Blockage**: Be mindful of where your fingers are to avoid blocking the microphone. 26. **Pro Mode Mic Settings**: Adjust which microphones are active by enabling Pro Mode. 27. **Quick On/Off with Record Button**: Use the record button to turn the Pocket 3 on/off without twisting the screen. 28. **Selfie Flip Mode**: Selfie flip mode mirrors the entire image, not just your face. 29. **Joystick Speed Adjustment**: Adjust joystick speed in settings if you find it too fast or slow. 30. **1:1 Aspect Ratio for Instagram**: Switch to 1:1 aspect ratio for Instagram posts, but note the resolution drops to 3K. 31. **Mic 2 Storage in Case**: Store the Mic 2 in the hard case by removing the magnet if needed. 32. **Custom Presets**: Save custom presets for frequently used settings to switch quickly between them. 33. **Connection Issues with Mic 2**: Enable audio-to-video sync to record audio internally on the Mic 2 as a backup. 34. **Battery Handle Drain**: Disconnect the battery handle when not in use to prevent unnecessary battery drain. 35. **Mic 2 with iPhone**: The Mic 2 can connect to an iPhone as an external mic, but it may take time to connect initially. 36. **Accessing Settings While Recording**: You can adjust certain settings, like screen rotation and gimbal speed, while recording. 37. **Fast Charging Time**: It takes approximately 23.5 minutes to fast charge the Pocket 3 to 80%. 38. **Mimo App Connection Reset**: Reset wireless connection settings to help connect the Pocket 3 to the Mimo app. 39. **Quickly Dismissing Notifications**: Tap on notifications to dismiss them immediately. 40. **Avoid Corrupting SD Card**: Wait a few seconds after stopping a recording before removing the SD card to avoid corruption. 41. **Using Joystick to Change Modes**: Switch between shooting modes using the joystick instead of swiping on the screen. 42. **Maintaining 4K in Vertical Shots**: Hold the joystick to lock the gimbal and rotate the camera to maintain 4K resolution in vertical shots. 43. **Swipe Up for Additional Menu Options**: Access additional menu options by swiping up from the bottom of the screen in shooting modes. 44. **Low-Resolution Previews in Mimo App**: Previews in the Mimo app are in low resolution until you download the files. 45. **Normal Speed in Slow Motion Clips**: Speed up parts of 4K 120fps clips by 400% in editing software to play sections at normal speed. 46. **Active Track for Dynamic Shots**: Enable Active Track for dynamic shots without needing a second person to operate the camera. 47. **Real-World Battery Life**: Real-world usage gives around 2 hours at 60% brightness, but only 1 hour 20 minutes at 100%. 48. **Firmware Update for Image Adjustments**: Update firmware to access noise and sharpness adjustments. 49. **Slider Button Functions**: Use the slider button on the screen to control either zoom or gimbal head movement. 50. **Accessing Pro Mode**: Enable Pro Mode to adjust advanced settings like ISO, white balance, and color profiles. 51. **Using ND Filters**: Use ND filters to prevent overexposure when adhering to the 180° shutter rule. 52. **Adjust Mic Gain**: Adjust mic gain levels in Pro Mode if the audio is too low. 53. **Battery Handle Fast Charge Time**: It takes around 50 minutes to fully charge the battery handle. 54. **Checking Battery Percentage**: Tap the battery indicator to see the exact battery percentage. 55. **Adjust Gimbal Head Speed**: Change the gimbal head speed for different types of videos, such as cinematic or action. 56. **Using DJI USB-C Cables**: Use the DJI-supplied USB-C cables for reliable charging and connection. 57. **Face Track Only in Normal Mode**: Face track in selfie mode only works in normal video mode, not in low light or slow motion. 58. **4K 120fps Only in Horizontal Mode**: 4K 120fps slow motion can only be shot in horizontal mode. 59. **Using the Pocket 3 as a Webcam**: Plug the Pocket 3 into your computer to use it as a webcam. 60. **Mimo App Low-Resolution Previews**: Previews in the Mimo app are lower resolution than the actual footage; download for full quality.

Yes please

[@defunktproductions5233]

I agree!

[@normanlumhee]

Great stuff James… grateful for the tips… but yes, Chapters would make this even more awesome for revisiting a section 🙏🏼

[@amoktimeflies]

I watched about a billion pocket 3 reviews on KZbin, but this is by far the most comprehensive and engaging of all of the - congratulations on a job brilliantly done! 👏 👏 👏

[@james.loxton]

ahh wow! thank u thank u 😎 glad u found it useful!

[@sezair0]

I felt the same like amoktimefiles

[@edenconnell4322]

Totally agree

[@DrunkPhotography]

when you get the chapters mastered, this channel will pop like crazy. You're doing the tests I don't have time to do, so I appreciate it.

[@dwayne8410]

A beginner here. Just got my Pocket 3 and I was browsing KZbin for helpful videos. Please believe me when I tell you that I've watched all the pertinent ones. Hours of video viewing! You sir with this video has been the most helpful of all. The only one that even came close was one who mentioned you in his video as being his source. Thank you sir for your time. Liked and subscribed.

[@james.loxton]

it’s comments like this that make it all worth it 😎 glad u found it useful! have loads of fun with it, it’s a great little beast! and welcome aboard 🚀

[@arvind_tty1]

Saved a lot of RnD period .. Thanks!

[@james.loxton]

ah man! thanks so much! really appreciate the support! glad u found the video useful!

[@jaimejan8674]

I was expecting mostly fluff as coming up with anywhere nearly as many as 60 useful tips seemed impossible but I am genuinely blown away by the fact that your suggestions are not only comprehensive but also genuinely helpful from beginning to end. Thank you!

[@james.loxton]

thanks man! really means a lot 😄 glad u took some stuff away from it!

[@RimantasLiubertas]

It's all in the manual.

[@Azeveco]

27:15 yeah, the Pocket 3 was at 100% battery because the battery module was providing power to keep it charged all the time. This is working as expected. Battery will drain with time, doesn't matter if you're using your device or not. This applies to all eletronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, Kindle, cameras and, well, Osmo Pocket 3. So the battery module was constantly charging it to keep it at 100%. Anyway, great video! Loved every second of it.

[@james.loxton]

ahh thanks for that and glad u liked it 😎

[@TappedOutTravel]

I watch just about every video in regards to the pocket 3 to see if I miss anything. I normally never feel like I do and walk away learning nothing. Your video gave me like 10 things I didnt know about and I listened tot he whole thing. VERY well done video, very good tips and very appreciative of your time. Hello and thank you from the USA! (Florida to be exact)

[@james.loxton]

thanks mate, means a lot 😎 glad u learnt some bits from it! and omg Florida?!? my favourite place!!! I was only there the other month around the theme parks!

[@TappedOutTravel]

@@james.loxton that’s awesome! Up, right here in Orlando, so near where you were lol. Or you come back, hit me up! Can give you a tour of the city, good and bad. 😂

[@OlleMcdulle]

Awesome video, just got one! What recording settings do you use. Love the color as well! Thanks for all the tips. Best Pocket 3 video i've seen out there!🔥🔥

[@james.loxton]

ahh thanks man 😎 glad u found it useful! the whole video was literally shot in auto mode and no adjustments were made, that’s how good it is, the colors it gives out in auto are just 😍

[@davidleighsparks]

Easily the best how-to-use video I've seen on the Pocket 3. Great job! I've had mine for a few weeks and thought I knew it well (I also have the Pocket 1) but I learned some things here. Now I'll jump over and watch your Action 4 videos (I also have one).

[@james.loxton]

ahh wow! thanks man 😎 means a lot reading that, glad u learnt some bits and pieces from it!

[@bunterregenbogen108]

11:37 one can also let them be connectet and then activate the Backup Audio inside the pocket 3. In this way the pocket 3 records the Audio of its internal microphone in an audio file and the Audio from mic2 in the Video file and the mic2 is recording its Audio internal if activated.

[@jakestechtravels4864]

Love the video James. Deffo an expert with this camera, and it was one of your videos that inspired me to buy one 😁😁

[@james.loxton]

thanks man! glad u liked it and made the purchase 🥳

[@NatureLenzPhoto]

You answered all my questions and I also learned a few things I didn't know was possible. Excellent video.Thank you!

[@james.loxton]

no problem! glad u found it useful 😎

[@girlsloveshein97]

Best osmo pocket 3 settings video ive watched so far! Happy new year to you king

[@james.loxton]

ah thank u 😎 glad u found it useful! happy new year 🥳

[@dennisvondutch-dhb]

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the incredibly informative and comprehensive tips & tricks video you created. Your attention to detail and the depth of insights shared were truly remarkable. I received my P3 today as it took ages to get back in stock here in The Netherlands. Thank you for your dedication to helping others learn and improve. Your video has been an invaluable resource for me, and I'm sure many others feel the same way. I look forward to applying these tips in my own P3, thanks to your guidance. I will soon use it in my own vlogs (totally different genre) 😉

[@james.loxton]

ah thanks man! really means a lot 😎 glad u took loads away from it, seeing comments like this makes it all worth while! I’m sure ur loving it by now! good luck with it 👍🏾

[@YpatiosVarelas]

Very helpful for beginners. I learned the camera's basic operations just by watching this since the manual was a bit confusing to me. Thanks.

[@donovanw.2943]

Thanks!

[@james.loxton]

ah wow! thank u so so much for ur support! really appreciate it 😎🫶🏽

[@Nightcrawler666]

Hey thanks dude. Absolutely brilliant video. I've just bought a pocket 3 & the files wouldn't play in my editing software. Looked for hours online. Downloaded some BS software. Got some malware crap. Got my mate to sort computer. Then found your video. You not only told me how to fix that issue, but I learnt other stuff too. Well put together video. Thank you so much..

[@zahirbmirza]

This was such an excellent video. So so good. No BS, no faff, just gold after gold after gold.

[@james.loxton]

ah thanks man 😎 glad u liked it!

[@Arcottocra]

Brilliant! Many thanks. I wish that you could guide us on the gimbal functions too.

[@james.loxton]

thanks, glad u liked it 😎

[@mjklein]

These tips are gold, and thank you so much for doing them. And yes, the selfie flip should be a monitor flip only and the camera should always record in the correct perspective. I've had this discussion with the developers at PRISM Live studio and this is not an isolated situation. it's much more natural to talk into a camera when it looks like a mirror because as you said, that's what we are used to. I would love to have my own image as a mirror, but have the video record in the correct perspective. Maybe a firmware update? who am I kidding! DJI listens to no one! My magnet does fit into the case while it's attached to the clip on the microphone. Just put the magnet towards the top of the clip.

[@james.loxton]

no problem 😊 yeah the selfie flip mode really caught me out!… thanks for the info regarding the magnet, can’t believe I couldn’t figure that out haha 😂 I was thinking why has DJI made it so the magnet doesn’t fit inside hence why I was trying to find a way round it

[@mjklein]

@@james.loxton after using the P3 the other day, I used your tip for locking the gimbal and rotating it into portrait mode, thus preserving the 4k resolution. I want to really thank you for making me feel like an idiot, lol. That really works and for me is the #1 tip you gave us, and that piece of information really should be in the User Manual! Nice work man.

[@banana828-qf9zn]

I think this is the first time I fully watched a KZbin tutorial that is longer than 10 minutes. These tips are awesome, funny, and convenient. Had a good laugh watching this too. Thank you! I bet my Pocket 3 skills are improved now. Subscribed to your channel, so I hope you will make more awesome stuff. Cheers!

[@james.loxton]

ah! thank u! glad u found it entertaining & useful 😎 good luck with it and welcome!

Nice for sharing your video tips and tricks. It's very informative, thanks really good 👍

[@james.loxton]

[@EMSAPPLEVLOG]

@@james.loxton thanks a lot ❤️

[@alvaropastori]

Many good tips, thanks ! Tip 61: YOU CAN attach the mic to the case WITH the magnet if you put it high up.

[@james.loxton]

haha yeah thanks, a couple of people commented saying the same thing before, can’t believe I missed that one 😂😇

[@xrayhead]

Great video, fella! Your insights were incredibly valuable, especially the tip for maximizing Instagram engagement. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@james.loxton]

thanks man! glad it helped u out 😎

This was SO helpful! I couldn’t figure out why my joystick was zooming in and out! 😆 Thanks for clearing that up

[@james.loxton]

ahh no problem! glad it helped u figure it out 😎

[@wxdrones]

congratulations on the video. I thought I already knew a lot, but I learned so much more. gratitude.

[@james.loxton]

thanks man 😎 glad u learnt some bits from it!

[@Ozpeter]

This is masterful. How did you remember it all?. Actually, this makes a great review video for anyone trying to decide whether to buy it because you describe the features so well, and cover so many if them. Great, thanks!

[@james.loxton]

thank u 😎 glad u found it useful!

[@DREAM.EXPLORE.CREATE]

Bought one for my trip abroad and decided to start blogging. Thank you so much for this super helpful video. You even covered the instagram dimension you need if recording content for that platform. I'm checking out more videos. Cheers

[@NoviceWildCamper]

Just to let you know, the magnet should actually be attached to the bottom of the mic when storing in the case. If you look there's a section the magnet sticks too. That's their design although I'm concerned it may come off during movement but have a try 👍

[@james.loxton]

yeah thanks mate! a couple of people commenting the same thing, still can’t believe I missed that haha 😂😇

[@NoviceWildCamper]

@james.loxton no probs. Great video though. I've just got one hence trawling through review videos. Gonna be using it on my vids going forward if I can ever get out in this crap weather 😂

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Thank you so much for putting this together. I'm waiting for B&H to restock the OP3 before getting mine. Thanks to you I am well prepared to use my OP3 when I have it.

[@james.loxton]

no problem 😎 ur gonna love it when it comes, such an amazing little beast!

the magnet actually can sit on the mic inside the hard case , it just has to be in the top side , I was also confused about this at first but actually it fits pretty well

nice to see that you find a workaround so complicated 😄

[@james.loxton]

omg haha thanks for this!!!! can’t believe I couldn’t work it out 😂😂 I was thinking why the hell have they made it so it doesn’t fit in

@@james.loxton you are welcome , it took me some time as well , I was ready to doubt the engineers at Dji 😂

@@james.loxton also if you use a cable lav mic with it it has a routing channel for the cable inside the clip mecanism

[@single-shot-video]

What a great comprehensive collection of tips for the Pocket 3. Thanks for spending all this time testing and collating them. There were several items that was doing my head in, ie Zoom Control and Slefie Flip. Well explained and sorted. Cheers.

[@cheekyoscar1353]

To be honest at first I wasn't sure as this is the first time I've watched one of your videos. after about 10 minutes in I actually found you really good ,some of the things I've learnt from your video I haven't found them anybody else's. you're very clear and what you say and you also put in a bit of humour in which is brilliant. There is to many KZbin videos out there which are boring , you come across as a person who just "say it as it is" with the a little mistake here and there who cares that's all part of the entertainment and getting the message across which is brilliant . I will definitely be watching some of the more of your videos . and thanks to you I've now just ordered one of these pocket 3 combo 😄😄 happy days ... 🍻

[@wxdrones]

22:28 Place the magnet on top of the mic2's own clothing clip. the mic 2 will fit perfectly into the case, without having to put the magnet in place of the wide lens or anywhere else

[@james.loxton]

yeah thanks, had a few comments saying the same haha! can’t believe I missed that one 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@DolbyDogAdventures]

Top marks young man. Just ordered one of these (owned original pocket) and this video has covered everything. Excellent work and thank you.

[@james.loxton]

thank u, thank u 😎 glad u found it useful! good luck with it!

[@VlogLife247]

Just got myself the DJI pocket 3 to up my video recording game. As such, looked around KZbin for a beginner guide which took me awhile to find a well explained, straightforward and detailed video. But hey, got there in the end as found your video. Great guide! got me up and running in no time. PS. Best tip, you had me in stitches with the mic placement in the washbag...Thanks as removed 😂

[@james.loxton]

ahh that’s great to hear! glad it helped u out 😎 and haha yeah I’ve lost a lot of fur by making that mistake 😂

[@davemartin4456]

Simply BRILLIANT. Very well explained and I think you've covered absolutely everything thank so much. I Haven't pounced yet as Im waiting for a deal.

Nice review .. much appreciate, may i ask a Q i loved how the colors looked from the Dji 3 in your video have you done any color grade to it and which color mode you activate while recording ? thanks

[@james.loxton]

no problem 😎 all the shots in the video that were shot on the pocket 3 were literally shot in auto mode, no adjustments made to any of them! auto mode does an amazing job most of the time!

Brilliant video James. I've watched many other videos but this one is unmissable. A wealth of information that I didn't know about from the other videos.

[@james.loxton]

ahh thank u! means a lot reading that! glad u found it useful 😎

[@pbrunottephoto1646]

Have to say this was the best explanation of the DJI pocket 3 .. Keep doing what you do as you do it well...Just a small tip....The mic magnet will stay on the clip if slid to the top..You can still fit mic into handle and the magnet is safe and easy to get at.

[@james.loxton]

ah wow! thank u very much! means a lot reading that 😎 and yes thanks for that tip, a couple of people commented before saying the same thing and I still can’t believe I couldn’t work that one out 😂😇

[@james.loxton]

glad it helped u out 😎 ohhh sounds nice! haha it may well be, I’m not sure what brand it was tbh, I was just staying in a chalet and it had a hot tub there

[@bunnywhite6513]

Thanks so much for this! Though I do want to mention that I've learned 1:1 is no longer the optimal ratio for IG, vertical 3:4 or 16:9 is because it doesn't allow for other posts to be seen on screen along with your post. Not sure what the use cases are for 1:1 anymore.

[@james.loxton]

no problem 😎 ohh! nice info, thanks 👍🏾

[@weltreisendermagier]

Amazing Tips and Hints!!! Thank you soooo much… But: although I was able to connect the mic 2 with my iPhone 14pro via Bluetooth it didn’t worked as a microphone…😢 Do I need any other software or configuration? Keep on this fantastic work!!

[@james.loxton]

thanks man 😎 glad they helped u out! ahh that’s annoying, it did take me several attempts to get it working with my iPhone, u don’t need any additional software or to do anything special, literally just connect it and it should work… maybe try turning ur iPhone on/off or Bluetooth on/off, like i said, it took me a while to get it working but it definitely works once connected

these are brilliant and a true help to owners and prospective buyers, good work!

Awesome video thanks for the tips. Only one thing the magnet does fit while on the mic clip. Just have to adjust it slightly.

awesome video. But you do can shoot dlog even in H-264 , at least I see the option enabled.

[@Heyjadid]

These were extreamly imformative. Thank you! Question: Have you tried live stream to Instagram and TikTok? How does it perform?

[@james.loxton]

thanks man 😎 glad u found it useful! I haven’t actually tried to livestream with it yet so not too sure how it performs in that area

[@toothlesspanda4607]

It's been a few days after I bought the Pocket 3, and I've been trying to learn how to use it (this is my first DJI product ever). So there's still some things I'm unclear about. This video has been SUPER helpful in explaining all the little tricks I need to know how to use the device! So glad the algorithm recommended me this video. Thanks so much! My one question is, did you shoot all your clips in the default color that DJI has or did you shoot in D-Log and then color graded in post? I love the colors from your selfie mode footage while you were walking on the trails. Apologies if this is a silly question

[@james.loxton]

no problem 😎 glad u found it useful! it’s an amazing little camera and so easy to use so once you’ve played around with it a few times you’ll be all fine! in terms of the colors and mode, the selfie shots were literally shot in auto mode with no adjustments made at all! that’s how good it is! good luck with it all! 😎

[@fahim4ever]

very informative most useful video out there for osmo pocket 3

[@james.loxton]

ahh thank u! glad u liked it and found it useful 😎

[@lehbwe1652]

Very helpful for first time pocket user. Is there anyway to check free space on sd card?

[@james.loxton]

glad it helped u out 😎 yes, u can see the remaining storage on ur sd card in the top left of the preview screen

[@Luidoly]

SUPERB VIDEO, with lots of information......I invariable use a Handle Power bank 6500 mAmp by Ulanzi, that I screw in the 1/4" thread and connect with the usb 3 of the power bank to the charging usb 3 of the ACTION 4 to keep it charging at all times, will the Pocket 3 allow me to keep charging the camera the same way????. Your input would be appreciated. Thank You, great video. Luidoly

[@james.loxton]

thank u 😄 yes u can plug it into a power bank and have it charging at all times even whilst ur using it but if u get the battery handle u can just plug that into it and it will act as a power bank without any leads

[@ekyttey]

Nice indepth video! I'm still thinking wether get the standard pocket 3 or the creative one. is there any lens with black mist + wide in one?

[@AskAW]

Creative is the best way to go.

[@james.loxton]

glad u found it useful 😎 I would personally say the creator combo, the only lens it comes with is the wide angle not the black mis, you’ll have to buy that separately. U also get the DJI mic 2, battery handle, carry bag and mini tripod included in the creator combo so it’s really good value for money

[@ThroughTheCamerasEye]

Wow! Thank you for making this! I learned so much!

[@james.loxton]

no problem 😎 glad u found it useful!

[@tomcat7525]

I will have to watch this several times to learn all of these tips 👍. Checking the sd card on a pc there are d.lrf and d.mp4 files, the d.lrf are the files used to preview on mimo app and are almost 1/10 the size. When setting pre-sets does it save an ev change ? It dosent seem to for me but when I set record to standard video setting -1ev is set. Lots to learn. 👍

[@james.loxton]

haha yeah there’s a lot of info, take ur time 😎 as for the presets, it doesn’t save the EV number to it so you’ll have to adjust that each time to what u want it to be

[@storybabble]

Nice job. Very thorough. Love it.

[@james.loxton]

thanks 😎

[@samuraix8903]

I'm getting one of this pocket soon.. thank you for nice tips and tricks! Just wondering how did you get the rich blue sky colour? Is that a post editing thing or pocket 3 have its on setting which we can adjust ourself? Btw you on glamour effect is so funny, made me laugh 😂

[@james.loxton]

haha 😂 trust me it shocked me as well the first time I used the glamour effects! ahh ur gonna love it when u get it! sooo, all the clips shot with the pocket 3 in the video are literally straight out the camera, no adjustments have been made AND it was shot in auto mode! just shows u how great the dynamic range is!

[@kiaracansing]

This was an amazing video!

[@SaluteDon]

This was dope bro!

[@james.loxton]

glad u liked it man 😎

[@ZanyZoomers]

This is really really useful, thank you

[@james.loxton]

no problem 😎 glad u found it useful

[@GUANTA23K]

Awesome guide, thank you!

[@james.loxton]

glad u found it useful 😎

[@Nvhfilms]

The magnet for the mic transmitter does fit on the clip! I just push the magnet forward and its there together with the mic :)

[@james.loxton]

ahhh I know I know 😂😂 someone commented the same yesterday and I was like ahhh how the hell did I miss that 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@JamieFurlong]

This is great, thank you. I'll be showing this video to my gf when I give her her new Christmas present because she'll get more out of this video than she will RTFM. I don't suppose you're based in Essex, are you? The countryside and accent sound familiar! BTW, I haven't got to the end of the video yet but I do recommend dialling down sharpness and denoise (both -2) when shooting in d-log. Keep up the great work.

[@james.loxton]

thanks man 😎 hahaa, glad i can help! well she’s gonna love it when u give it to her! I’m not based in Essex, I’m from west London… so it’s interesting u say that about the noise and sharpness cos both have already been adjusted to -2

[@JamieFurlong]

@@james.loxton I've got to sell the idea to her first, which translates as justifying the cost 😅

[@JamieFurlong]

@@james.loxton btw, I wasn't suggesting you should adjust the sharpness etc for your videos, but that it could have been a useful, general tip to include in the video.

[@james.loxton]

ohhhhhh 😂 the hard part

[@james.loxton]

ahhh okay…. I do actually mention about updating ur firmware to be able to get the image adjustments which is where u can adjust the noise and sharpness settings

[@BartKasTravels]

Thanks for so many tips about osmo pocket 3 🤗 one of the best video explaining what is what when it comes to new osmo 👌👌

[@james.loxton]

ah wow, thank u 😎 glad u found it useful

[@mikewyatt7075]

Nice work James - thankyou

[@james.loxton]

thanks man 😎

[@davidleighsparks]

Question on your charge times - what wattage charger are you using? With fast charging in the new Osmo cameras, your times seemed long, longer than what I see with a 60W charger. My Pocket 3 just went from 56% to 100% in 15 minutes or less.

[@QueersandSteers]

Great video love - I just bought the creator combo and your video is better than any materials DJI has available. Ask them for a check!!! 😉

[@james.loxton]

hahaa 😂 I wish! anyway thank u, glad u found it useful!

[@CharlieSilverlock]

Great video thanks for creating. Quick question. I used to overcome the Pocket 2 overheating by removing the do it all handle and plugging in a lightning to usb c cable from pocket 2 to iPhone, using the iPhone as a monitor via Mimo app. It allowed me to record without ever getting an overheat, even in extreme heat. However, testing on the Pocket 3 with same method it doesn’t work. I think it’s because the Bluetooth is now built into the main pocket 3 unit (unlike the 2 where it was in the do it all handle) I’ve not found a way to turn off Bluetooth and it seems the usb c on the 3 doesn’t support video out like the 2 did, which is shame.

[@james.loxton]

thanks man! no probs 😎 u make a very good point about the Bluetooth being built in unlike the p2, maybe the video output via usb c is something that can be added in a future firmware update?

[@CharlieSilverlock]

@@james.loxton Thanks James, fingers crossed 🤞, as I mentioned i used the pocket 2 with wired feed to iphone to get around overheat in extreme conditions, it would REALY help if it was addressed in firmware update, it enabled me to film for very long durations for my channel walking tours and road trips - come DJI update please 😉 #djipocket3 😊 www.youtube.com/@walkingtoursandroadtrips

[@tamilfrienduk]

Very helpful and more than enough informations. Thank you mate🙏

[@james.loxton]

no probs man 😎
