DJI Pocket 3 - Top 4 MISTAKES I've made and how I fixed them

[@H.pylori]

Thanks! Keep up the good work of providing useful, easy to understand, videos.

[@harrygoldhagen2732]

Very helpful, thanks! The b-roll tips are especially useful, and not just for youtube videos. I've had to jump in on some indie film projects and capture b-roll -- after filming has wrapped -- to help the editor get around all sorts of problems with the primary footage. And recording ambient sound in a must! Most people forget about that, but it makes the audio editing so much better. I've made it a habit to do a take with each location of just ambient sound, for at least 30 seconds but more likely a minute or two.

[@johnw4595]

Thank you. Really helpful. And I like the way you present. I find you calming and engaging. A great mix when I'm trying to learn something new. :)

[@steveloudon7491]

Another excellent video. I'm looking for a good sturdy extension pole with tripod for my Pocket 3. Can you suggest one,? Thanks.

[@CosyCottageCamper]

I was just wondering if you could please explain your process for the post production colour grading for Dlog-M footage?

[@H.pylori]

Thanks for the good, practical, not too technical, information that you provide.

[@khorajin8320]

I travel to Seattle next monday and are just a fresh owner of a Osmo Pocket 3. This Video help me so much. Thank you ^^

[@ottomanbeatsofficial]

Is internal recording when it records the audio with the video clip in to the osmo 3. Or is it when the transmitter records a separate audio or both? With the same quality

[@JackieDElia]

Excellent video. I’m using my Pocket 3 more for my videos too. 😊

[@TheBrickConnection]

Your content on the DJI pocket 3 has helped me so much in making my decision!

[@hahagames214]

the only problem I have is that I don't own a pocket 3.

[@Cherry-bymera]

🤣😭😭

[@jemmrich]

Sadly, that is a mistake many of us are dealing with 😭

[@ronniejrsevilla3543]

@hahagames214 trueeeee, why I am even watching this whole video. lol

[@kairoldancreations]

This is so helpful , especially the tripod & b-roll parts!

[@AllenRReid]

I just bought one with the creator kit so your info is helpful. Now I need to get to creating!

[@MDCLani]

Thanks for this! You’re the first creator I’ve heard that said a b-roll shot should be about 10 seconds. :)

[@benvisualmultimedia]

You’re from Seattle too??? I’m definitely supporting. Keep creating. 🖖🏾🖖🏾🖖🏾

[@myphillycassell]

What's the magsafe phone clip attached to your bag?

[@Q8Webmaster]

Very informative video. I wonder if you use noise canceling feature in mic2 , your voice is very clear. I am not big fan of dji noise cancellation feature , how do you make it that good? 🎉🎉

[@Gemini_Connect]

I don’t use the noise canceling feature - I think it’s a bit too strong and I can always add this effect in post production if I really need it.

[@Q8Webmaster]

@@Gemini_Connect Thank you, I agree with you. We would love to see a video on how do you do the noise cancellation effect in post :))

[@speliotis]

really enjoy your content... the sharpness can also be adjusted in the Pro settings.... Do you shoot in Auto or pro mode?

[@TheTaylorCherie]

This is really helpful. Thanks!

[@tube-master]

Thanks for sharing your most common mistakes when using the Poket 3 👌

[@Justin_Leah]

We love our OP3! We still don't know how to use the various gimbal modes. Did you make a gimbal mode video and we missed it? If not I would love to see you explain which mode is best suited for which scenario. Thank you! ~JB

[@barndogsax5290]

What has the pocket three helped you with the most? BTS? Everyday filming? I love the tech…I just want to know what people use it most for. Love your vids! Thanks for all of your education/informatikn!

[@LouisLuzuka]

Mistake #2 hurts me because i always do this 😢 I remember the Shelby interview and man I am grateful I’m not the only one who goes through this 😅appreciate the honesty 🎉❤

[@andywhiteing]

I really liked this video. It helped me change my mind on the mic 2 unit. I have the original mic 1 from dji. Now I feel confident watching your video that I can also get to the proper settings to make better videos when we travel on vacation. Oh yea, I just placed my order with Best Buy and will have it before the end of the month. TIA!

[@vaskes123]

Very useful video, thanks from Greece!

[@VincentVision]

I am DESPERATE to know how you got the Mic 2, especially clipped to your shirt, to sound this good! Do you have recommended mic settings? How much audio editing do you do in post production?

[@Chloe-in1cp]

Can you please tell what settings of grading do you use to enhance the dlog-M?

[@spiderwayne]

Excellent information! Thanks!

[@travelingexpats]

Thanks for the great tips! We just purchased the Osmo Pocket 3 this week and trying to figure out how to use it. What software do you use to edit your videos with since you control the coloring during editing when you're not shooting in normal mode?

[@andyelliott1866]

I just bought an aftermarket about half of the length works real well

[@JV-pd8wg]

Hi! Can you make a video about when and how you use ND filters? Also how do you edit your videos? Thank you!!!

[@spirittravels.]

Thanks. Now you've got the pocket 3. Do you use the action camera as much?

[@LifeDIY]

Thank you! I was just editing a video where I did the exact same mistake with the transmitter!!! If all else fails and the audio really wasn't recorded, you could do a voiceover with b-roll or if you're using Adobe Premiere, their audio enhancements can help a lot, depending on how bad the audio is. I too have an issue with the color and sharpness - it makes me look quite bad and the saturation is too high. I really wanted to use it because it's so easy, so it's a pain that the solution s d-log, but I appreciate you sharing this. Have you done any videos on editing that? Thank you!

[@roninr8199]

Is it better get action camera instead pocket 3 if I use it on daily basis flipping screen several times? I have seen videos where screen gets stuck while flipping and there is no dji service center in my country

[@Just-Make]

Great video! How did you grade after you shot in dlog? What LUT or color profile did you use and are they included with the dji?

[@AndrewCCM]

Very nice video. I subbed!

[@pacome.gou1]

hi, can you please make a video about the audio post prod edition ? Because i can't have the same quality as your...

[@maxhammer4067]

OK I subscribe, this is great info ❤

[@sigridlee3743]

I always keep the “nub” attached. But attaching it to the head of the selfie stick or tripod is a good idea I will have to try.

[@MaxwellsUnearthly]

You guys rock, thanks for the tips, keep up the great work!

[@Radian327]

You can get metal 1/4"-20 adapter that's smaller then DJI's buy searching for this: "PULUZ Charging Adapter Base for DJI OSMO Pocket 3,USB-C/Type-C Aluminum Alloy Stabilizer Base Bracket,1/4 Threaded Hole and Connector on The Bottom for Mounting to Tripods, Selfie Sticks"

[@TheBeardManOnCycle]

Hi... can you please help, I am struggling with keeping my hands steady while using the Pocket 3... is there any thing I can do to practise steadier hands while filming...?

[@DavidSmith-sj9si]

Thanks, so, much for ALL the useful information you provide! Regarding "Artlist," can their AI Voiceovers be used on KZbin channels that are monetized?

[@LucasPassmore]

How can we mitigate the egregious amount of top-space/head-space when filming ourselves? I'm assuming you have active tracking/AF on, and while keeping you center framed (good), it natively gives (one) such an off-balance of headspace. Immediate example is this video's thumbnail -- that is a more pleasing, dare I say "correct" composition of a person's head in the frame in regards to the top of the frame.

[@Gemini_Connect]

I don’t use Active Tracking - I always frame the shot myself.

[@EnglaBeorhtast]

Thank you 😊

[@SpudUna]

I want to be able to re purpose the touchscreen zoom control to exposure compensation or shutter speed or ISO

[@popculturebf]

Yeah I shoot b-roll a lot too, and I also have a minimum 10s threshold for them 👍🏼

[@sumangoswami2620]

Hi, can you please make a video on how to fix overexposed skies in DJI pocket 2? BTW nice video.

[@Gemini_Connect]

Lower the exposure (EV), and possibly use ND filters if it’s too bright.

[@RohitThakur-w8n]

Hey I've a question, i create fitness vlogs, talking head, reaction vids and i was shooting on my phone but now I'm planning to buy a camera, initially i had decided that I'll take osmo pocket 3 but now after seeing zve10 ii I'm kinda confused. Can y please guide me, it'll be very helpful

[@LouisLuzuka]

Osmo is my pick but you could use your phone 😊depends on your situation

[@RohitThakur-w8n]

@@LouisLuzuka ok, but i want the quality to be really good. So can pocket 3 deliver as high quality as zve10 ii?

[@JJARCHIE]

​@@RohitThakur-w8nyou cant really compare the zve10ii , the e10ii is basically an ilc ( interchangeable lens camera ) that also inherited the sensor from a cinema camera. The pocket 3 is mostly focused on ease of use and stabilization , the e10ii needs a wide lens to compensate or even a gimbal ( adds 800-900 grams )

[@Q8Webmaster]

@@RohitThakur-w8nPocket 3 has a built-in wide-lens only which is more for filming outdoor and vlog style. In case you need to zoom-in for talking head videos indoor, it’s possible with up to 2x digital zoom. Keep in mind that you can’t control the aperture, but you can control iso + shutter speed. Now with ZV-e10 or any mirrorless camera, you can attach different lenses and fully control the exposure including aperture (f stop). But you will not get the following : - No strong stabilization or having a gimbal like in OP3 - Not super compact as OP3 - You will not get a smooth seamless monitoring app to see your framing using your mobile like the DJI Mimo app for iPhone. So maybe combine a recent iphone model with OP3.

[@MADMOGtheFrugal]

Osmo wins for ease of use. You'll be able to get started shooting video workout having up to faff about with mics, lenses and whatnot. You have your phone for zoom, b roll or add a B cam.

[@霞客AnniePoh]

Can use it to take northern lights using low light features?

[@damienfenton3880]

I'm still not convinced about the design decision to have an entirely new extension just for the 1/4 inch mount. I'm sure they should have fit that mount on the main body of the camera. I get that it also provides a bigger area to hold too but the battery extension provides that also.

[@Gemini_Connect]

Agreed. Really wish the mounts were built into the camera.

[@catfishingjones]

@@Gemini_Connect Is it only held on via USB-C? That doesn't seem very sturdy. I'm in the market for a camera for my channel, but don't want to have just GoPros. I've been leaning toward the Insta360x4.

[@SmokyMountainBlessed]

thanks for the tips

[@tiemji]

Thanks for the vidéo

[@AjaySingh-228]

Good One Mam..I ordered Dji action 3.What you think about action 3 in 2024?

[@Gemini_Connect]

I think the Action 4 is better if you want Bluetooth connectivity to the Mic 2. But other than that, OA3 is pretty solid IMO.

[@AjaySingh-228]

@@Gemini_Connect oh okay Mam

[@FloriTravels]

Hello, I have a problem with the receiver gain of the DJI Mic 1: I'm using my DJI Mic 1 on my Samsung Galaxy S22, the problem is that the receiver gain does not respond and it doesn't matter whether I set it at -12, 0 or +12 (DB). In consequence I have to set the transmitter gain to approx. -6 db to prevent audio clipping in the recording (the audio level in the video recording app in standard mode can't be adjusted, only in pro mode). The result is a rather high noise floor with lots of artifacts in the recording. Do you know how to solve this problem without changing the recording chain of 'receiver-transmitter-phone, video app in auto mode)?

[@robertgrenader858]

I forgot the ¼-20 adapter last week and had to use gaffer tape to secure the Pocket 3 to a footed monopod!

[@marioaurich]

good video. 👍🏻

[@simonwyndham]

The only problem with the internal recording on the DJI Mic 2 is that it drifts. None of the firmware updates have addressed this problem. You might not notice it on a short recording, but it soon goes out of synch on longer ones.

[@TheWhiteFlowerofKashmir]

Which accessory is on 0:14

[@brinkrin24]

I got my pocket 3 last week. My content is in a gym that has really bad lighting and it's mostly for reels / tiktoks. I don't want to use the low light mode as I want the d-log M colour mode that low light doesn't support. But i find it really hard to get the ISO / Shutter speeds right. Trying to colour grade with that kinda footage is hard for me. I'm a beginner so of course will get better wth experience but I can't find many good tutorials for that kind of scenario unfortunately. Any suggestions?

[@billbuckleytutorials]

shoot in manual . Set resolution to 30fps ( or 60 if you want slow motion ) . Hutter to twice your frame rate ( i.e 30 fps = 1/60 ). set your ISO range to something like 50-600 ( so your ISO won't go over 600 . Shoot in D-LOG M and do a very simple color grade just by adding the DJI conversion LUT ( free on their website) . The lowlight adds auto noise reduction . So do a sample of both and see what you like . Hope it helps!

[@brinkrin24]

@@billbuckleytutorials thanks man! I've actually tried that exact setup. The gym has really low lights. I do some slow Mo stuff so generally I want to keep that 60fps. But I'm getting this flickering effect when I'm at 1/120. I think it's because of cheap florescent light that flickers super fast and the camera is picking it up? Lowering to 1/100 fixed it but then it's not double the fps

[@Q8Webmaster]

@@brinkrin24Sometimes you can’t fix the flickering issue without modifying the Shutter Speed even with Mirrorless Camera. Sometimes it’s possible to fix flickering in post (watch tutorials in youtube), but then it will make your workflow longer. In case you are taking close-up slow-mo shots , try with a mini super small led light that can be mounted as a cold shoe to OP3 mount (I use Ulanzi)

[@djdannybhtx]

Man, the DJI Mics are of great quality, but I don't think I would ever use these just based on how much they weigh down your clothing and that looks very tacky to me. I understand the internal recording is cool and all, but I have been so happy with the Hollyland Mark 2. Super small, discrete, and don't weight down your clothing. I see a ton of KZbinrs using the DJI and the way it makes your shirt look just urks me so bad.

There’s a time and place to use either camera - both are quite different.
