Great video, love how casual and at ease you are. Can’t wait to buy mine! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@Knotperfect]

I definitely appreciate ur insight, it makes so much sense. Getting the pocket 3 to me, means ur trying to b as minimal as possible. And having ND filters and other things, can stop u from creating. Thanks for ur take on the pocket 3.

[@ArmandSalmon]

I agree with your take on this and the general idea of keeping it simple when it comes recording. I have yet to get the Pocket 3, I spent the savings on the Action 4 so I just look on from the distance now lol.

[@david_does]

I agree - I keep taking my Osmo Pocket 3 out and leaving my A7IV at home 🙂

[@eprohoda]

love it~ so super !

[@NathanBerry]

Enjoyed the video man!

[@JoshuaBelanger]

I'm with you! Less is more. I own the ZV-E1, DJI Pocket 3 and Iphone 15 Pro Max. I only create content for myself, I'm on the fence with keeping the ZV-E1.

[@Jus10video]

I feel you. If I didn’t do the occasional small paid gig, I might not keep the zv-e1. 🤙🏽

[@JoshuaBelanger]

@@Jus10video What would your setup be in you didn’t do paid gigs?

[@Jus10video]

@@JoshuaBelanger probably the pocket 3 and something like the rx100 vii for that massive zoom range.

[@JoshuaBelanger]

@@Jus10video I’m 99% video. I played with the RX100 vii. It didn’t fit my needs. I film my podcasts and do streaming which is why I got the ZV-E1. I considered downgrading to ZV-E10 since it will be on tripod and in a room with lights.

[@Jus10video]

@@JoshuaBelanger I don’t stream, but I know a lot of streamers use the e10.

[@one901]

I agree. I love the ease of use with the pocket 3. I have variable NDs but they seem like another hassle and I don’t like them.

[@NavyBluesandShoes]

Ive had the pocket 3 for 2 weeks now and love it. I decided to get it for content creation and talking head videos as opposed to there Sony A7CR. Will still get it for photography in the future but no rush

[@mohsinnawaz7]

The video content is informative,

[@sirrafael1]

Awesome video! I am torn between the 1/8 and 1/4 black diffusion filters from K&F. I know you are rocking the 1/8, but what are your thoughts on the 1/4? Is there much of a difference?

[@Jus10video]

Haven’t tried the 1/4, but I’ve seen others use it. It’s really “dreamy” looking.

[@babyboy1971]

I just bought a GoPro hero 12 and I love it. I was considering getting a gimbal, but the pocket 2 can be had now for about twice the price of the gimbal. Any thoughts on whether you think the pocket 2 is worth it in 2024? It’s under $300 now and readily available. I’m mostly going to use it alongside my hero 12, but for lower light conditions. I know the pocket three has great low light capability, but it looks like the pocket two is no slouch with low light. I would love your thoughts. Do you think it’s worth it in 2024 since it’s under $300 now?

[@Jus10video]

I am not too familiar with the pocket 2. I n my opinion, a 1” sensor is the smallest I would go for low light shooting. I’d look for a used Sony zv-1 in that price range.

[@garethjones1]

Agree with everything you have said. I made a video for my local shooting club with it last week. I didn't intend to use on the day but I had it in my kit bag. Its size and form factor was a major part of the video happening. If I had one of my Canon R6's with me I probably wouldn't have been bothered to set it up for use in first place let alone have the R6 as its just hassle to take it everywhere. Take a look a let me know what you think.... most recent video on m channel. Subbed. 👍

[@Jus10video]

Love the POV style of your shooting video. That’s the beauty of the pocket 3. So easy. Subbed as well. Good stuff.

[@BridgettHBeauty]

Which filter are you using?? I have a black mist filter it doesn’t say it’s 1/8 or 1/4 🤔

[@Jus10video]

I have a 1/8 by k&f concepts.

[@BridgettHBeauty]

@@Jus10video thank you, you should have linked it! I just ordered it the one I have has the description of a 1/4. Thanks again for sharing 😆.

[@MarekSzulikowski]

Hi. You got fantastic colors in this video! Can you tell me how you did it?

[@Jus10video]

In this one, I shot in d-log m and graded it using filmconvert in Final Cut Pro. I think it was a Fujifilm eterna emulation with very minimal grain added. I’m not a colorist, so this is a shortcut I’m happy with.

[@MarekSzulikowski]

@@Jus10video Thank you for your answer. Well done. I use PC and Capcut - it is difficult to achieve such color results there.

[@AnonymouslyP91]

I'm sorry this is out of topic, but has anyone told you that you look like Napoleon Dynamite's uncle in the live action movie?

[@Jus10video]

Nope. But now I can’t unsee it when I look in the mirror. 😂. Well played, sir.

[@CRE8VALU]

0:22 you technically no longer have to hold microphones either! lol ✅

[@Jus10video]

Still can’t get used to the feeling of the transmitter on my shirt. It’s small, but still bounces around. I guess it’s more of a me problem. Haha. Thanks for tuning in.

[@thepinkmatter93]

You’re delusional if you can’t see the difference between this toy and a zv-e1 lol. Or you’re just not the right user of a real camera

[@Jus10video]

Guess I should have given a more nuanced explanation. For casual shooting, when weighing convenience and quality, I choose the Pocket 3. When I need quality for a paid gig, I’ll shoot with the Sony in S-log 3, get everything dialed in properly, and grade the footage. I will admit that the pocket 3 does feel like a toy in my hand, though.
