DJI Pocket 3 vs DJI Action 4 for Vlogging - DJI Action 4 vs DJI Pocket 3 honest review

[@AdaminNihon]

I love your use of the Action 4, you’ve almost sold me it over the pocket 3! Especially with interchangeable batteries and the ruggedness I’m tempted.

[@AmaraBenjamin]

Yes, it’s so versatile, if you’re planning to wear it on chest/helmet, mounting on vehicles, bikes etc, it’s probably the way to go. Pocket 3 is a bit more of a luxury, but I looks so good 😀, I couldn’t choose!

[@benjaminjacome]

I think traveling or going around with the pocket 3 is going to be a nightmare, that's why I decided to buy the action 4. In the end what's important is how good, creative and authentic your content is. Or the cool memories you make. I think the action 4 is the way to go, well at least in my opinion and in my situation where I'll be making a lot of travel vlogs and meed not to worry too much about taking care of the camera.

[@AmaraBenjamin]

Also, when traveling, being comfortable with your camera of choice is important as it will impact how often you’ll be using it. If ruggedness, waterproofing and ease of use is essential to you, Action 4 is the best by all means. Have in your pocket ready to shoot anywhere, anytime! You lose a bit in image quality, low light, background blur, but it’s not something everybody needs. That said, I haven’t had any issue traveling with my pocket 3. I just decide when to use it or not (I even used it a bit while skiing).

Best combo mate you have well Done!! Action 4 and pocket 3 the goat 🐐

[@AmaraBenjamin]

Yes it’s a good combo! Thanks

[@mynkao-creativedirector]

Great video. The part when you pass by the scaffolding is a torture for the camera, kinda moment of truth, and that it's great. Your use of the necklace (I guess from Telesin) is really creative.

[@AmaraBenjamin]

Thanks! Yes that was surprising that it managed to track me again. And yes necklace is from Telesin, although I think DJI have their own necklace mount now that looks very similar. It’s really useful!

I love that smooth video look, Footage looks like film and I also noticed a little bokeh... Great

[@imboredDB]

I wish you did a side by side comparison 😮

[@keith2599]

Great video Dude... One thing I noticed on the pocket 3 is all vertical objects like the lamp posts and window frames never lost their shape like the fisheye lenses do... 😊... Subbed...

[@AmaraBenjamin]

Hey thanks! Yes there’s very little distortion on the pocket 3, except when using the wide angle filter, which does add some.

[@Mo-fd9ri]

Great video! Which camera is good for gym content?

[@lecovio]

Nice video!! You can connect the DJI MIC Transmitter to the camera via Bluetooth without needing the transmitter

[@AmaraBenjamin]

Thanks! You can connect the DJI Mic 2 transmitter to either camera directly via Bluetooth now. But the DJI Mic (1) still requires the receiver

[@Bashirachakzai]

V bad​@@AmaraBenjamin

[@markbisdak]

Pocket 3 for night time vlogs , action 4 for rugged and more action daytime vlogs

[@AmaraBenjamin]

Exactly!

[@petersterling5334]

Great Video Benjamin!

[@AmaraBenjamin]

Thanks a lot Peter!

Hello Thanks for this good and esthetic review (je crois avoir décelé un accent, tu es francophone non? ;) ) Hello from France ;)

[@AmaraBenjamin]

Merci! Oui francophone de Suisse

[@MichaelSouverain]

​@@AmaraBenjamin ah oui je me disais aussi un français qui parle aussi bien anglais c'est rare. 😂😂 Bonne fête de fin d'année à toi! Michael

[@AmaraBenjamin]

😂 Michael! Et bonnes fêtes à toi aussi!

[@dev.morrison]

Great vlog!

[@AmaraBenjamin]

Thanks Donovan!

[@StoppschildTV]

Like - good cameras 👍

[@AmaraBenjamin]

Thanks!

[@bushcraftmurad]

Witch best

[@AmaraBenjamin]

Depends what you will use it for. Pocket 3 better image quality, better for vlogging, low light or “cinematic” videos, action 4 better for mounting everywhere, wearing on chest/head, rainy days, and all the action/sport or use case with risk of dropping.

[@Bashirachakzai]

I have subscribed

[@AmaraBenjamin]

Nice thx

[@JustinPulitzerTrades]

You can use the DJI Mic 2 w/ the Action 4.

[@AmaraBenjamin]

I don’t think so, not yet, because you will need the receiver which had not been released yet. However you could use the internal recording and sync it in post

[@JustinPulitzerTrades]

@@AmaraBenjamin I've seen videos with it being used with the Action 4 & iPhone. So, I know it works. Give it a go.

[@AmaraBenjamin]

@JustinPulitzerTrades the Mic 2 connects directly to iPhone 15, but not to the action 4 according to DJI answers in their official forums. I have also tried and it didn’t work. Unless someone has a magic trick doesn’t seem to be possible

[@JustinPulitzerTrades]

@@AmaraBenjamin @dannyblack Has a video of the Mic 2 working w/ the Action 4. It's a brief clip. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZW7oJlnf96fibcsi=I0nW8Xp38eW4OfpQ&t=211

[@Jevole-Paramoteur]

@@AmaraBenjamin With the new firmware, the Mic 2 is ok with the Action 4 , and it's amazing for some sport vloggers! :)

[@nyrubin]

Man the pocket 3 looks so much better

[@AmaraBenjamin]

Thanks!

[@sanchitgoyal2282]

how did you that at 00:33 seconds??

[@AmaraBenjamin]

Hi, I used the Timelapse function with a slow shutter speed. You can do it in low light situations or using an ND filter

[@hendyjt]

8:14 does it lost focus?

[@AmaraBenjamin]

It’s possible, think my face went partly out of frame for a very short time and then it reacquired focus very quickly after adjusting the framing/tracking
