[@EllaNelson101]

Great video! Would love to see more low-light footage comparisons, especially in motion. I believe that's where Pocket 3 can outshine the iPhone.

[@Audreythequeen1]

If i were a vlogger who talks to the camera most of the time, my pick would be op3. Nice bokeh due to the 1 inch sensor, sleek form factor and super easy to use. Vlogging with a phone is tedious in comparison.

[@CBikesss]

Yeah totally agree 👍🏻💯

[@RyanKorea]

The iPhone is insane. The footage is amazing but I get no enjoyment from shooting with my iPhone at all. I'm picking up the Pocket purely to enjoy while creating.

[@mikeh.4503]

Me too, even if everything is better, I use my iPhone (14 in my case) for filming only if I have no 'real' camera with me (Pocket, ZV1 etc)

[@SpaciousExpanse]

Yeah, same

[@pureheartvisuals]

I don’t know 😂 I saw the Full-time Filmmaker Comparison against the DJI 4D. The Pocket 3 is something that can’t be slept on. I’m from the same mindset, my phone is my phone… once I as a Creator s😢reach for my phone, I’m thinking, what about external audio, what if I need to long track a subject… I feel the content, correct if I need to grab something quick, but the Pocket is right there also - no opening Camera App, dialing in settings, locking up calls in the meantime. The iPhone has come a long way though.

[@CBikesss]

Same. I had to get osmo pocket 3 like day one. Phones are horrible when you want good quality from the main camera you gotta shoot blind and plus my phone storage always full

[@CBikesss]

​​@@pureheartvisualstotally agree. Phones will never be my main camera. Also pocket 3 can't be slept on. It is really good i ordered mine like day 1

[@RoyLie9]

For lowlight shots when making video (not vlogging) iPhone creates flares, the 15 is getting better but still creates flares. Thus makes the DJI OP3 a much better option for lowlight.

[@BlairAir]

OP3 has issue with flares. Perhaps not under same conditions, and I cannot fairly compare to iPhone 13/14/15 Pro or Pro Max because I am a Samsung phone guy for 14 years (I have iPhone for work, currently 14 Pro, but don't create wirh it. Point being I feel like Pocket 3 is less with invasive lens flaring, but far from immune to it. In some scenarios, it is similar, and possibly worse. I say possibly, just putting it out there. I have only anecdotal evidence of this

[@CBikesss]

It does create flares horrible

[@CBikesss]

​@@BlairAirreally is not as bad as iPhone. The p3 is definitely much much better with flares and focal length much better too. Other than iPhone and androids having multiple lenses i was talking about the main camera because its the best quality most people are gonna use.

[@mattPG78]

I have both of these, and without a doubt, probably my favorite purchases within the last year outside of the DJI air 3 drone. I’m absolutely loving the pocket 3 right now.

[@tftexe]

do you have an iphone 15 pro?

[@CBikesss]

Pocket 3 is amazing you don't need to shoot blind to get good quality like you do with iphone or any phone and the focal length on the pocket 3 is much better than iphone and android phones. I know iphone and android phones have a wide angle lens but then the quality is gone. So osmo pocket 3 wins there.

[@tftexe]

Thanks for the reply@@CBikesss

[@michaelbell75]

@@CBikesss Shoot blind? How is the focal length on the Pocket better than any smartphone? Every smartphone does 20mm and a ton more lol. Most go 13mm-200mm or more. Way better than the Pocket stuck at 20mm with no aperture control.

[@jsieb]

Having an Apple Watch to use as a remote view of the camera app is great, and the footage looks good, but I still opted for the Pocket 3. I don’t like the idea of relying on my phone for footage in addition to everything else it does. Having a pocket gimbal camera is amazing, and it’s hella fast to turn on and record.

[@CBikesss]

Controlling the iphone with an apple watch is like having a dji mic 2 for osmo pocket 3. DJI mic 2 is more beneficial because it is a mic obviously. Second part. Yeah dont like relying on my phone either because my phone is always full plus i need my phone for other things like calls and text And yes the camera is very fast to turn on. Something any phone is not even close to. Lastly - one thing i really like on the osmo pocket 3 is you can see yourself on screen while shooting in selfie mode and with good quality. On the Iphone you cannot see yourself on the screen if you want good quality. Because you basically have to shoot blind to get good quality. Because you have to shoot with the main camera.

[@stuhunter]

Testing low light without moving the camera at all seems weird. People move when shooting most times. The low light quality with the mechanical gimbal compared to digital stabilization is so much better. I own both of these and love both but at night, there is no comparison.

[@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN]

I'd use the Hohem iSteady M6 with the new iPhone 15 Pro max...problem solved. It's a great gimbal but heavier to carry (with phone) compared to the Pocket 3. A gimbal is something I wouldn't be using that often, mostly for follow me mode. I really don't care much for everything filmed using a gimbal, I think they can be overused and lack a bit of character in the video...I'm happy with a little inbuilt stabilisation for the most part.

[@sosteveoh]

Another benefit of using the iphone is if you want to use filters, since aperature is fixed, most iphone filter systems use regular filters so u can stack something like VND and Diffusion vs the pocket 3 where u can only use one at a time

[@michaelbell75]

Incorrect. You can stack a mist and ND filters on the Pocket.

[@CKramburglar]

iPhone 15 pro max is a lot more expensive than the pocket, even if you get the creator combo, which comes with wireless audio. Even the base iPhone 15 is more expensive than the creator combo, at least in Canada If you upgrade your phone all the time, it might make more sense, but I’m still rocking an SE with no real complaints

[@michaelbell75]

You need a smartphone, you dont need a $700 vlogging camera. Big difference.

[@CKramburglar]

Most people already have a phone, and will only upgrade to get the better camera, in which case you’re still effectively comparing buying 2 cameras

[@captainhook88]

@@CKramburglarUsually you sell your current phone when buying a new one, which drops the price by a lot

[@daysaroundflorida]

You could use the Hohem ISteady M6 with your Iphone and have true 360 degree tracking and can use the native camera without a specific app

[@PatchedBandit]

For me a great selling point for the pocket 3 is that gimbal and tracking. I've used the dji mobile gimbals in the past but it's a bit complicated to carry around and not so fast to whip out and shoot anytime. Also the mobile gimbal is usually not with me. Second big thing is that DJI pocket 3 can shoot 50 and 100fps which the iphone can not. I live in PAL area so making slowmo indoors is much easier with the DJI.

[@vaskoobscura_]

This is probably the best comparison video of the two cameras I've seen yet. Very good points.

[@cliftonsledge962]

Man the iPhone is doing a great job. Another great review and looking forward in seeing more 🙏🏾

[@I_like_science]

All of us tech/camera guys are the same. We buy stuff we don’t need and we all wanna film our girls to do comparisons and then never used the product again

[@BlairAir]

Good comparison, well considered. Disagree on what "low light" is. -respectfully, low light for me is dusk, blue hour, anything after sunset without artificial light. All the city life at night that drone media creators call low light is bogus. Thats high light with deep blacks interspersed, not low light.

[@u2be2000]

Great comparison. There are already tons and tons of comparisons of these two devices, but almost none comparing on LOG Profile.

[@michaelbell75]

Apple ProRes LOG is far better than D-LOG that doesnt shoot anywhere close to ProRes quality. Not even worth comparing, thats why no one has.

[@-windycitysammy-]

Great video! fyi You can use the apple watch to monitor yourself when vlogging. Cheers!

[@ameaerials]

You're absolutely correct. Great comparison! I noticed the same differences (oxymoron) and I am just amateur at this stuff. Thanks for putting this together! Your comparison blows my video away.

[@TheEverythingMan]

Thanks!

[@the_elder_wand3845]

In the low light comparison, your handsomeness is more evident in the iPhone video.

[@CBikesss]

I dont like shooting with a phone because if you wanted the quality from the main camera you need to shoot blind which most people don't do or can't or just don't like to. I had to get the osmo pocket 3 plus my phone storage is always full

[@michaelbell75]

Seriously? There are at least a dozen different mini monitors that clip onto the iPhone that allow you to see yourself while recording with the rear cameras. They have been out for years. Maybe do some research?

[@realDV]

dig the channel +1 sub, great review and comparison.

[@markshirley01]

I have a small Ratrig slider, I was wondering if I could use the P3 tracking on food clips, to keep the product in the centre of the frame while sliding. Id have to use the 2X zoom on the P3 (40mm) but don't know if the image would degrade to much. Its always for social media, so maybe I could get away with it.

[@TheEverythingMan]

I think you could. Don’t use the 2x just shoot 4k and edit in 1080 and you’ll have plenty of resolution to punch in in post .. social media doesn’t upload 4k anyway

[@remektekmedia6641]

Just ordered the Flow for my iPhone 15 Pro Max. Apparently, the Flow tracking can work with native video app or Blackmagic Video!

[@TheEverythingMan]

I have the flow. It can only track with the insta360 app. I’m actually selling it. I picked up the Hohem isteady m6 which can track with any app and is a much better gimbal

[@assnsports]

The low light conditions the osmo far out performs any phone and especially the iPhone. There is a low light mode. Activate it and then compare, even though there isn't a comparison because pocket 3 cannot be out done by today's phone or the Z series Sony cameras.

[@captureinsidethesound]

Most of the videos comparing lowlight video are using the native camera app on the iPhone. Personally, i use the Blackmagic app that gives me manual control to lower the shutter and framerate but also more dynamic range in lower light. Can it beat a 1"? Idk, because ive not seen a fair comparison video by vloggers.

[@michaelbell75]

The ZV-E10 with the APS-C sensor is far batter in low light than the Pocket, especially with a fast prime. Way better quality optics too.

[@captureinsidethesound]

The ZV-E10 is in a weird spot on the market. The Pocket likely uses a Sony sensor lol. @@michaelbell75

[@rebwarikurd]

DJI Pocket 3 is Better 👍👍👍👍

[@creativemind6604]

U can Get creative shot With pocket 3. I phone has limit.Pocket 3 has 1inch bigger sensor so low light performance is good in pocket 3.also 10 bit color + 3 axis micanical gimbal + 4K 120 fps in pocket 3 in just 558 dollar.

[@tommilano5431]

iPhone seems better since like you said, it’s always with you. Adding the pocket 3 is another device you have to manage storage and battery levels for, and make space in your pocket for. Great video!

[@michaelbell75]

Thanks for this. One of the only reviews I have seen with models, thats what I shoot. Probably because this is a vlogging camera but DJI is paying KZbinrs to act like it's the most amazing thing ever and we should all sell our cinema cameras and pro lenses lol. It's a one trick pony. A vlog camera, thats it. iPhone has way more lenses, better DOF and focal lengths, much better colors and ProRes is WAY better quality than anything the Pocket, which is limited to only 130mbs bitrate, can shoot.Maybe if they released a version with a 50mm or even 35mm, Id have a look.

[@misterlonestar]

I want the pocket because when I film on phone I have to use the battery life, storage,and don't have to worry about phone being on do not disturb. Also I feel more secure having the screen to view myself when vlogging

[@freddygoulet6101]

the file sizes on the iPhone are an issue for longer videos like vlogging and vacations. iPhone for quick good vids in the moment. DJ I pocket 3 for any extended videos and at night. Mechanics have more than one tool and so should creators. This is why I’m poor. Keep buying tools ha

[@hughesy606]

Man, when did you change back? And well done, you’ve started popping up in my notis!

[@TheEverythingMan]

Haha a couple months ago!

[@crisrocchi2722]

No smartphone gives you the image quality of OP3, at least the quality that you have in 10 bit d-log (the standard profile 8 bit is rather bad, in my opinion). The fact of having this quality with a 1-inch sensor at low light, without those horrible artifacts from electronic stabilization, I would say is enough for the choice compared to any smartphone, including iPhone 15 Pro (which has excellent video quality, maybe better, but only if used a very huge file of prores log with external SSD, and still continues to be rather poor in low light)

[@michaelbell75]

Wrong. Apple ProRes is lossless 4:2:2 10 bit and blows anything coming out of the Pocket away. The Pocket shoots nothing close to the quality of ProRes.

[@crisrocchi2722]

Hey Everything Man! The iPhone 15 footage looks as if the DOF is even more shallow? How can that be even with f1.8 vs 2.0, as the P3 sensor is significantly bigger. Anyway, awesome video!

[@TJIzzy]

FOV is tighter

[@michaelbell75]

@@TJIzzy This. Shallow DOF isnt just about the size of the sensor, the focal length plays a big part too. So a shot at 50mm on a slightly smaller sensor with around the same aperture is going to have a more shallow DOF than one at 20mm and that will only increase as the focal length gets longer.

[@NikoBols]

I sent a message on Instagram supposedly for the Osmo Pocket 3 LUTs, then I was about to send the screenshot but it didn't allow me. Hahaha. Will send it once you accept the message request. Great comparison video as always 🔥The iPhone is really the most convenient camera nowadays for content creation. But for some reason, I still gravitate towards using a "stand alone" camera. i don't know why, cause even my iPhone 13 Pro can shoot amazing videos. It's a psychological thing I guess 🤷‍♂

In my country Pocket 3 - even with Creator Combo - is 3 times cheaper than iPhone 15 pro max, so the answer is obvious.

[@GoodLifeinChiangMaiThailand]

Genius! I needed this video to confirm my thoughts & confirm I am just fine with my iphone ❤️ Love Artlist ✅❤️

[@DA-lp4rh]

I don’t really know how to make a good video - but I’d consider myself an expert at watching….i think the iPhone crushes the DJI doodad. There is a small gimbal out there with tracking that doesn’t require an app.

[@cweb1988]

the tracking is the game changer for the pocket....surprised phones don't have something like this yet just with software, etc. But it'd still be limited obviously. Wonder if phones will every get 1in sensors.

I agree with you. I have seen almost all videos on the KZbin related to pocket 3 by now. I can confidently say that iphone videos are far better than pocket 3.
